The Concert for Bangladesh, organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar in 1971, was the first major benefit concert of its kind, held at Madison Square Garden in New York. It aimed to raise awareness and funds for refugees from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) suffering from the aftermath of the Bangladesh Liberation War and a devastating cyclone. Featuring performances by Harrison, Shankar, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and others, the concert marked a groundbreaking fusion of rock music and humanitarian efforts, setting a precedent for future charity events.
