The star-studded lineup featured the likes of Harrison, Bob Dylan, Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, and Eric Clapton.
These groundbreaking concerts were organized as charity events, aiming to support the homeless Bengali refugees of the Bangladesh Liberation War.
