A Day In The Life- George Harrison
In their post Beatles careers, each had a day that stands out. Let's take a look at those days, starting with Harrison.
For George, his big day was August 1, 1971.That was the day of The Concert for Bangladesh. It really started in early 1971, when Harrison was dining with Ravi Shankar. Ravi brought up the problems in Bangladesh. He kept Harrison informed. By Spring, the situation turned desperate. Shankar approached Harrison once again. Harrison's response changed the music industry and helped determine his place in music history and as a humanitarian.
Since the breakup of The Beatles, Harrison was becoming a bigger force as a solo than he was as a Beatle. His solo record "All Things Must Pass" was a huge success. In my opinion, it's the best solo album any of The Beatles have made.
He also did a few live gigs on The Delaney & Bonnie and Friends tour. It helped him form friendships with musicians such as Leon Russell, Jim Keltner, Don Preston and Jim Horn. Those relationships were essential to the success of the concert.
