Bangladesh

met Tom gezien: Concert for Bangladesh (1971) met George Harrison
Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Billy Preston & Leon Russell
George Harrison’s guitar playing on Leon Russell’s first album led to his participation in the first rock and roll benefit concerts, the “Concert for Bangladesh.” Leon played piano, guitar, and bass guitar. His duet with George Harrison on “Beware of Darkness,” and his performance of “Youngblood” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” are legendary. These performances were subsequently included in the film and platinum album “Concert for Bangladesh.” The album won the 1972 ‘Album of the Year’ Grammy Award. The all star lineup included: George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Billy Preston, Klaus Voorman, Badfinger, and Ravi Shankar, along with Leon’s band members Don Preston, Carl Radle, and Claudia Linnear with friends Jim Horn, Jim Keltner, and Jesse Ed Davis.
