The Concert for Bangladesh. Beatles, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, with Ravi Shankar and Bob Dylan were enough to fill Madison Square Garden with 40,000 fans who jammed into the arena for first of two benefit concerts to raise international awareness and fund relief efforts for refugees from East Pakistani.
