Harrison responded to a request from Ravi Shankar by organising a charity event, the Concert for Bangladesh, which took place on 1 August 1971. The event drew over 40,000 people to two shows in New York's [[Madison Square Garden]].<ref name="ConcertforBangladesh">{{cite web|url=http://www.concertforbangladesh.com/|title=Concert for Bangladesh|publisher=Concert For Bangladesh|access-date=1 January 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121116114838/http://www.concertforbangladesh.com/|archive-date=16 November 2012}}</ref> The goal of the event was to raise money to aid starving refugees during the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]].{{sfn|Harry|2003|pp=132–136}} Shankar opened the show, which featured popular musicians such as Dylan, Clapton, [[Leon Russell]], Badfinger, Preston and Starr.{{sfn|Harry|2003|pp=132–136}}

The money we raised was secondary, and although we had some money problems&nbsp;... they still got plenty&nbsp;... even though it was a drop in the ocean. The main thing was, we spread the word and helped get the war ended."<ref>{{harvnb|Doggett|2009|pp=181–206}}; {{harvnb|Harry|2003|pp=132–138}}; {{harvnb|Harry|2003|p=135}}: "Mainly the concert was to attract attention to the situation".</ref>
