That's some *quality Genius right there.

I saw Billy Preston with George Harrison and Ravi Shankar (among others) at the Los Angeles Forum, which will tell you how old I am (roughly). Awesome.

HOLY SHIT! Was that opening number from Billy Preston (one of many "Fifth Beatles") and the Genius himself ever FUCKING OUTSTANDING!!! Haven't been able to watch this whole thing yet, but will do so when sweetie gets home.

I know Sifty's gonna' be pissy, but this is some *quality stuff!

billy preston (keyboard player) rarely gets the credit he deserves. you can barely see him in this video, even during a great solo.

People playing: Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Ringo Star, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Billy Preston, Albert Lee, Ray Cooper, and others.

This is the best version of this I've ever heard.

Bangla Dhun was the opening sequence to the Concert for Bangladesh. It was performed by Ravi Shankar on the sitar, Ali Akbar Khan on the sarod, Ustad Alla Rakha on the tabla, and Kamala Chakravaty on tamboura. The song is approximately 17 minutes in length.

The song is split into two parts, and almost seems as if it is two separate songs. However, this is not uncommon in Indian classical music. In this composition, the "first" part contains the alap, antra, and main body of the song. The second part is faster and includes the jhala and a fast paced "back-and-forth" between the melody instruments and between the melody instruments and the tabla. Both parts maintain the same melodic structure (see raga).

Since Indian classical music is usually based on improvisation, portions of this composition may also be improvised.

The Concert For Bangladesh was the event title for two benefit concerts organized by George Harrison and held on the afternoon and evening of August 1, 1971, playing to a total of 40,000 people at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It was first benefit concert of its magnitude in world history, featuring an all-star supergroup of performers that included Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Ravi Shankar and Leon Russell. An album was released later in 1971 and a concert film was released in 1972, with later releases for home video. In 2005, the film was re-issued on DVD accompanied by a new documentary. The concert raised US$243,418.50 for Bangladesh relief, which was administered by UNICEF. Sales of the album and DVD continue to benefit the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF.
