SonicbutterPDX presents the 2002 Concert for George featuring George Harrison's All Things Must Pass AND new this year, the 50th Anniversary Concert for Bangladesh!

30+ musicians, forming a veritable who's who across Portland's music scene, get together to bring you two momentous concerts by and for George Harrison!

Friday 10/7 - We return with our sold out 2020 performance of the Concert for George featuring Harrison's magnum opus and arguably, the best post-Beatles release by any of the Fab Four, All Things Must Pass. Marking the one-year anniversary of George's passing, the Concert for George featured Eric Clapton as musical director and a special opening with an original Indian classical music performance by Ravi and Anoushka Shankar.

Saturday 10/8 – We will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the legendary Concert for Bangladesh. Organized and presented by George in association with Ravi Shankar, the concerts were a benefit for Bangladeshi refugees displaced by the Bangladesh Liberation War. Featuring performers Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton, and with a spectacular opening segment by Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan, the shows spawned both a hit album and memorable concert film.
