I appreciate all the likes and comments, but like

George freakin Harrison

a musical genius
whose gigantic contributions to music
are only exceeded by his
charity to all, especially the most vulnerable


now given that
like hundreds of views
and
like 2 posts to date and a few likes.

How about "squeeze my lemon" and "let the juice run down my leg". Just classic.

Oh and btw, maybe many aren't here as often, even I am here by happenstance, making sure I didnt miss anything.

The perfect and ultimate all-star show, been listening and watching it since.
(and Eric always seems happiest and more natural when not center of attention)

In '90's job, our unit-head was a guy named Leon K, when he would give the quarterly results, I'd always hear George in my head:
"... a couple numbers from Leon"

and whenever I momentarily forget something obvious, my mind reminds:
"...I've forgotten Billy Preston..."

"stand up Leon"!

My parents were there. Dad says it kicked ass.

Missed it
but I did get to see George at MSG in '74.

that was another all star lineup

shortly after that Ringo began and continues his All Starr band touring
that is not to be missed

check out Youtube one year w/that lineup
they have leading contributions from Frampton
guy from Procul Harem did Conquistador

total kick ass

the song goes it was 20 years ago today....

but in this case, it was 50 years ago today, literally that there was the mother of all super/charity concerts:

check out the links and enjoy:

The Concert for Bangladesh - Wikipedia

Great memories. Concert for Bangladesh to this day stands the test of time as one of if not one of the best most important live shows ever as it was the impetus for epic charity events such as Live Aid, Farm Aid etc etc that followed.

I recall my Mom taking me to the movie theatre when it came out on film...I was I think 9-10 years old and I was just kind of getting into music than and I recall thinking what a great concert this must have been to be at. The songs "Wa Wa" and "My Sweet Lord" are still go to songs for me today to watch on YouTube every now and again....so damn good!

Quick aside. Not sure if you or anyone knew this but I have read that the only reason Clapton, who had terrible heroin addiction at the time showed up was because George promised him that he would cop some heroin for him as Clapton said he wouldn't play at the benefit unless he had some.

Well George apparently made the arrangements and Clapton tho zoned out, was magnificent and played an integral part of what was an awesome show.
