Title: Concert for Bangladesh
Post by: Bruno on October 24, 2005, 01:58:48 AM
It's coming out this tuesday here in USA


-------------------------
The Concert for Bangladesh was the first benefit concert of its kind in that it brought together an extraordinary assemblage of major artists collaborating for a common humanitarian cause-setting the precedent that music could be used to serve a higher purpose. The concert sold out Madison Square Garden and has helped to generate millions for UNICEF and raised awareness for the organization around the world, as well as among other musicians and their fans. It is acknowledged as the inspiration and the forerunner to the major global fundraising events of recent years. To quote the United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, "George and his friends were pioneers." All artists' royalties from the sales of the DVD will go to UNICEF.

Tracklist
"Bangla Dhun"
"Wah-Wah"
"My Sweet Lord"
"Awaiting on You All"
"That's the Way God Planned It"
"It Don't Come Easy"
"Beware of Darkness"
Band Introduction
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
"Jumpin' Jack Flash"
"Youngblood"

"A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall"
"It Takes a Lot To Laugh, It Takes a Train To Cry"

they had it the C.D. and the DVD and the deluxe dvd in at the A&B sound here. Whats the difference between the deluxe dvd and the normal one?

the deluxe dvd includes some extra artwork, not a big deal unless you're a diehard George fan.

I got the cheapo version and the packaging is beatiful, the original cover (the black kid) is inside, it also includes a booklet with tons of pics. As for the dvd, it's f***ing amazing... best $20 I spent in my life. The video/sound quality is superb, if you dont have this gem yet go and get it tnow, you won't regret it

I cannot wait to get it! They've got a cd out too! I wonder if the money we spend to get the dvd goes to charity? That would be smart! :)

Went to the store today and they didn't have Yellow Submarine so it made my desicion pretty easy. I went for the cheapo version as well, I didn't think it was worth an extra 20$ for a poster, a sticker and some postcards. The packaging even on the cheap version was beautiful. The original cover is on the inside on a very nice case. The booklet was great too, as Bruno said lots of pictures. The DVD was even better. The documentary was great and the sound on the concert was perfect. I'd have to agree that this was the best 30$ I've ever spent. And the best part is all the profits go to Unicef. Go buy this now you won't regret it.

The Billy Preston tune was great, but the highlight for me was when George announced Ringo and the crowd just went nuts. 'It Dont Come Easy' was great.

I love the DVD. I love the behind-the-scenes stuff, the commentary and the cut scenes. So great.

I like the Leon Russell set a lot. Guess I'm a big fan of his, too.

That's the only bit I don't like. Somehow seeing George on stage doing Jumping Jack Flash doesn't really do it for me. On the extras disc they do 'Come On In My Kitchen', which is excellent.

Yea, but I guess they had to give Leon his moment. I've seen him several times. Excellent songwriter and producer, if nothing else.

I absolutely LOVE this movie, it's sooooo amazing! I got it for Xmas last year. I love it when George does his Beatle songs, and Awaiting On You All is great. And then Leon does Jumpin Jack Flash/Young Blood for almost 10 minutes, which is awesome. And It Don't Come Easy by Ringo is definitly exciting, and of course Bob Dylan. I love it when he, George, and Leon sing Just Like A Woman together.

And, ironic as it sounds, I just bought the CD version the other day.
