Ep. 82 | The Concert for Bangla Desh (1971)
For many, the most significant Beatle fundraising contribution on record is Macca’s nonsensical gibberish on the extended mix of Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”
For Tony and T.J., it’s the George Harrison-organized “Concert For Bangla Desh,” whose 3-LP boxed set just turned 50 years old. The album and film are powerful, joyous, and iconic, filled with both bangers and ladeshers. In this episode, the Gab Two salutes their favorite moments and other hawt topics like:
🏀 Who was a better New York Knick: Eric Clapton or John Starks?
😵 Have Leon Russell and Leon Redbone ever been seen together in Belvedere, IL, or on Chicago’s Webster street?
🥁 Is Keith Moon’s most famous solo that time he f**ked up Badfinger’s drum set?
We’d appreciate if you could, uh, try and settle down and get into this episode. That’s the way (the Untitled Beatles) Pod planned it!
