I remember going to see the Concert when it came out in theaters. This was always one of my favorites.

 
:thumbsup:
 
Nice. My Mom used to say that I had my tonsils out in the same hospital as Ringo (not sure if that's true).

That song was done in the Concert for Bangladesh which was really the inspiration for Live Aid and many other rock-oriented benefit concerts.

Yes it was. As I said, I went to see it when they first put it out in theaters. It would have been great to have been there in person.
 
And to show how used to HD quality video from even handheld devices we've all become one of my thoughts was that's sort of fuzzy video..
 
After I discovered I discovered all the music of the 60s and 70s that you could access on Youtube I spent many a Saturday afternoon searching for a listening to music I hadn't heard for years, and even discovering stuff I had never heard before, concert footage from the Who, who were one of the most awesome live bands ever, magical stuff like Yes's "And You and I" Early stuff from the Hollies, and of course the Beatles and the Stones. Although I was pretty young I remember the concert for Bangladesh, and particularly "It Don't Come Easy" Which shows that it wasn't just John and Paul who were the talented Beatles. Actually saw Ringo on what was, I think, a special with Paul McCartney celebrating the 50th anniversary of Beatlemania, or the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, or something like that, Paul was his usual professional and polished self, but I was surprised how good Ringo sounded, never known as the Beatle with the best voice, and he didn't sing in that many of their songs, but he sounded as good or better than he ever had. And yes, it makes me feel old, Paul Revere just passed away, in other rock legend news.
 
I would swear that the Concert for Bangladesh came out as a 3 LP boxed set in 1971. "My Sweet Lord" and others........ remember how Harrison got sued for that melody?

you are correct-infact i've got a copy i'll try to dig out. Lots of goodies with harrison, leon russell, dylan, and I think clapton. Don't think i've heard it since the seventies. Leon russell was quite a force back then, saw him recently and made me realize i'm not 20 anymore
 
I believe I might still have it as well (in a box somewhere). Quite the gathering.

And Harrison eventually won that case.

I didn't know about a lawsuit, but I always thought he'd ripped off the melody from "He's so Fine" (Do-lang Do-lang Do-lang)
 
Well, they ARE different lyrics. :chuncky:

Not really. "Do-lang" freely translated means "Hare Krishna".

LOL Yes, I think I've heard that from a bald, orange-clothed guy at a airport once.

And here I thought the doo-lang part (which, by the way, I always thought was "doodle-lang") was their bells or those little cymbals.
