The panel had never seen this 1972 concert film of George Harrison's seminal fundraising concert. We watched and it and, of course, loved it.
The Concert for Bangladesh was the first celebrity concert fundraiser, at least in the rock and roll space, and it's a great one. You've got incredible musicians on stage: George, Ringo, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Badfinger and more. You've got George doing live versions of While My Guitar Gently Weeps (trading solos with Clapton), Something and Here Comes the Sun. You've got Ringo doing "It Don't Come Easy" to raucous applause. Even the disorganized moments (so many guitars? George forgetting lyrics to Something?) and the notable absecnes (no Paul, no John) do not take away from the overall joy of this terrific concert.
We get into it!

The panel discusses the recently re-released version of One Hand Clapping, the documentary! it's footage of Wings in the studio, originally filmed for the BBC. Now, it's a precious time capsule of young Paul McCartney executing the beginnings of his post-Beatles catalog.
We also get into: the director's intereste choices of extreme close ups, Geoff Britton's karate gis, whether or not the conductor of the orchestra looks like Geraldo Rivera, how cool Linda looks, and lots of other stuff!
