Scarce color 10 x 8 mini lobby card for the Apple/Twentieth Century-Fox film of The Concert for Bangladesh, signed in black felt tip by Bob Dylan and George Harrison, and in silver ink by Leon Russell. In fine condition, with light wear to corner tips. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL.
The Concert for Bangladesh, a pair of benefit concerts organized by Harrison and sitar master Ravi Shankar, were held at NYC's Madison Square Garden on August 1, 1971. They were attended by over 40,000 people and raised close to $250,000 for Bangladesh relief, funds designed to assist refugees from East Pakistan following the Bangladesh Liberation War-related genocide. Although Ringo Starr was the only other Beatle to attend, the concerts included many willing and legendary musicians, including Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, and Badfinger.
The concert film, released in 1972, was produced by The Beatles' Apple Films and directed by Saul Swimmer. The movie captures four of the songs performed by Harrison, Dylan, and Russell, all Dylan originals: 'A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall,' 'It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry,' 'Blowin' in the Wind,' and 'Just Like a Woman.' A stunning signed piece from one of rock music's greatest charity endeavors.
