50 years ago George Harrison called some friends and put together afternoon and evening concerts at Madison Square Garden on August 1st, 1970. The results were assembled into both a 1971 3-LP album and a 1972 film, THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH. Bob Dylan, who performed in both shows (his first major concert appearances in two years) would feature heavily in the album and film, with his evening concert performance of five of his songs composing all of the first side of the album's 3rd LP disc. We are looking back at THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we round up news from the world of Bob Dylan as it was in 1971 and in "Who Did It Better?" we ask you who did "Something" better live, George Harrison and friends from the stage of Madison Square Garden at THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH in 1971 or Bob Dylan and his band from the stage of Madison Square Garden in tribute to George Harrison in 2002? For more on Bob Dylan's activities and music from 1971, look up and listen to the 6/17/2021 episode of HARD RAIN & SLOW TRAINS: BOB DYLAN & FELLOW TRAVELERS: "1971: A Golden Anniversary."
