Musical group sing and play for worship filled audience at Madison Square Garden with 18,000 fans who jammed into the arena for the first of two benefit concerts for Pakistani refugee children. An enthusiastic but orderly crowd in uniform of long hair and denims cheered the performers such as George Harrison and Ringo Starr with Ravi Shankar and Bob Dylan. The Concert For Bangladesh was the event title for two benefit concerts organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, playing to a total of 40,000 people at Madison Square Garden. Organized for the relief of refugees from East Pakistan (now independent Bangladesh) after the 1970 Bhola cyclone and during the 1971 Bangladesh atrocities and Bangladesh Liberation War, the event was the first benefit concert of this magnitude in world history.(Photo By: Thomas Monaster/NY Daily News via Getty Images)
