The Concert For Bangladesh - Bangla Dhun

1971

[@justme1893]

In high school I had this 3 album set and played this over and over and over again. Not only that I actually saw the Ravi Shankar and George Harrison concert in Chicago. Ravi asked the audience to please refrain from smoking and people listened to him. I was in seventh heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JFairweather]

Same for me. Saw Harrison and Shankar in Dallas.

[@marvperson]

I did not know they both performed at other places. Ravi toured so much that he pushed his body and had a heart attack around 50.

[@malbig2344]

the funniest thing for me was when Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan, and Alla Rakha sat down and started playing, after a minute the crowd went wild... Ravi said, "If you like the main show as much as the tuning up, we are in for a good night".

[@Uncle65788]

@@malbig2344 If I remember correctly there was a pretty good applause that followed Ravi Shankar's comment.

[@Uncle65788]

@@malbig2344 The comment that I was referring to actually was part of the "Concert For Bangla Desh", which we are here privileged to be listening to. Both George Harrison and Ravi Shankar commented(spoke) at the concert, the concert was held at Madison Square Garden New York City

[@lone-wolf1248]

This is the most beautiful sitar song I've ever heard, discovered it 15 years ago, back then, KZbin was still at 480p highest resolution, and there was a full video of them playing, but sadly I can't find the video anymore, but I'm glad I found the full song! Didn't know it existed. I wish I was there, I missed out on the best decodes of the 20th century!

[@shoronsaha9502]

heavenly sir...what u did for us BANGLADESHI PEOPLE.. TRULY GRATEFUL EVER

[@albertsugarman6827]

Thank you Luis, I was at this concert. It was inspiring, but I didn't appreciate the music until I really listened to it in silence ❤❤❤😂✌️🙏

[@joydebbabupranta2109]

Love and Respect from Bangladesh. Their help was blessed for us. We, the people of Bangladesh are really grateful for their help.

[@drukmala]

I love India and Indian classical music which takes one's soul on the dusty but unforgetable roads of its vast country !

[@Uncle65788]

The Village Voice, use to, I do not know if these days this still is observed, however The Village Voice of 1971 use to conduct a survey at the end of the year asking of their readership to submit a list of the 20 best albums for the year of 1971. To be certain there were albums like "All Things Must Pass", "Concert For Bangla Desh" maybe some might remember James Gang "Yer Album"(that made my top twenty albums for 1971) and so on. The reason why I mention this is that The Concert for Bangla Desh" was such a turn-on that when I reviewed the album for the top twenty albums of the year I said in no uncertain terms "that the concert was the greatest experience of my life".That statement apparently caught the attention of the paper and it was used and printed in the paper a short while later. That is how excellent it was to have been fortunate enough to have been there and to have participated just so. A great Concert, "The Concert For Bangla Desh".

[@tulayamalavenapi4028]

Bangladesh can still use our concerned prayerful attention today Oct 2021... 50 years on from this legendary concert effort. The devotees of Hare Kṛṣṇa were physically assaulted with fatal causalities. The mob of about 500 Muslim radicals also desecrated their small center, burning sacred books, and destroying the whole property. This is still going on . Villages are being burnt to the ground by these fanatics. Hare Krishna. My Sweet Lord. Please help the poor Innocents.

[@1955blown]

The beauty of this music is hard to grasp. As if Spirit itself were playing Through these open vessels .God, Buddha ,and Krishna bless them all ..They are with the infinite now .

[@JFairweather]

The combination of Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan (sarod) and Alla Rakha (tabla) made this a magical performance. Shankar's sitar teacher was Khan's father, Ustad Allauddin Khan. The guru encouraged his students to play different instruments, hence Shankar (formerly a classic dancer) on sitar, Khan on sarod and Khan's sister Annapurna Devi on surbahar (like a tenor or bass sitar). Shankar and Khan then became as close as brothers, and when Shankar married Khan's sister (arguably the greatest Surbahar player in history), he and Khan became brothers-in-law.

Listen to each note Ravi is playing. It's amazing!

I saw him in Chicago in high school and he said exactly that!!! Please, no smoking!!!

[@sarashabnam4916]

George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, Forever you will rule my heart

[@sumonmahmud337]

I guess George is absent here with his violin ! & to the best of my listening the fusion is being played by Ravi Shankar (Sitar), Ali Akbar Khan (Sarod) & Alla Rakka (Tabla) !!

[@VBxHITMANx]

One of my most favorite records in my collection! The photo book that came with it is incredibly beautiful as well

R.I.P Ravi Shankar

[@marvperson]

I saw Ravi in Phoenix in Spring of 1973 at Star Theatre in the round...revolving stage. I lived in a 3HO Yoga Ashram and we got a backstage visit. He was a kind and polite man of compassion for the hippies.

[@honestman276]

I am grateful to Ravi Shankar. Thanks from Bangladesh.

[@jares2590]

I frequently listen to this on long road trips, but the more the tune progresses, my foot gets heavier on the gas pedal.

[@Uncle65788]

This was a very anticipated recording.I can recall with true care and fondness this time and this great event.It was to be certain both an inspiring concert and this Album remain as a testament perhaps even a belief in this world as help was on its way. The original Vinyl had the "Tune Up" with George Harrison introducing (I want to thank for coming here)the indian music(a little more serious than our music) and Ravi Shankar and friends on the same side."Bangla Dhun" is much in the line of a highly spirited exercise in the craft of the Sitar and Indian music. This might almost be said to perhaps be the best side of the multi-album recording, that The concert for Bangla Desh generated. To be certain "Bangla Dhun" is a great listen with much more great performances to come.Inspiring, exhilarating a real great memory.

[@SrimanJohn1]

I've heard many Sitar players. I am a Sitar player too. I've heard so many people complain and find fault with Ravi. But c'mon folks, after hearing this piece, how many can say that they've heard better? They always say that they heard of a sitarist here or there, but they never give the proof, which would be an actual recording. Well, here is an actual recording.

[@tulayamalavenapi4028]

THIS WAS A VERY GENEROUS EFFORT ON THE PART OF RAVI & GEORGE, WITH SO MANY GREAT MUSICIANS HEADED BY BOB DYLAN DOING THEIR SHARE. IT BEGAN THE WAVE OF BENEFIT CONCERTS. SADLY today Bangladesh still needs help. Hare Krishna devotees were not spared in the frenzied, irrational, and passionately violent attacks by not an individual attacker, but a mob of 500+ organized haters. THEY ARE BURNING VILLAGES AND DESTROYING PROPERTY, AND COMMITING MURDER. These persecutions of INNOCENT devotees of Our Sweet Lord, (MY SWEET LORD), even 50 years after the war in 1971 are inexcusable horrors. 🙏🏻📿😓📿🙏🏻

Friends all took acid now we are driving around I'm the only sober one and I'm in charge of the music they are all moving their heads every time Ravi Shankar strums that sitar with closed eye and I can see my buddy Fat moe is getting goosebumps.

El primer concierto benéfico de la historia en ayuda de los refugiados de Bangladesh, fue organizado por el destacado músico indio Ravi Shankar y el ex Beatles George Harrison.- Participó un grupo de amigos de George, como Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, entre otros. El lugar elegido fue el Madison Square Garden, Nueva York, y el motivo, reunir fondos para combatir la pobreza en Bangladesh. Paul Mcartney y John Lennon no participaron en este concierto que, para muchos, es considerado uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos. El vamos del espectáculo estuvo a cargo de Ravi Shankar y su excepcional ejecución del sitar; fue acompañado por músicos invitados. ¡Bendiciones y salu2 desde CHILE!

I have always wondered just what it meant the Lennon and McCartney weren't on this album. Scheduling conflicts or they weren't interested in charity gigs? It seems like the only performer at this concert that is still alive is Ringo Starr. Who would have predicted that in 1971?

Beautiful! Ravi Shankar is very good. But Ali Akbar KhanSaheb showing who's the king (from 6:53 to 7.31) Simply unbelievable! Play like a lion

[@SCROGY]

7:45 things get a lot faster than the excerpt you mentioned.

[@bachihard]

Yes sir. But faster is not always better in Indian Classical :)

[@SCROGY]

So then explain your point. Because I see nothing there that makes him better than Ravi.
