George Harrison presented the first of his two Concerts For Bangladesh at Madison Square Garden in New York City, on this date.
The concert was mainly intended to provide financial aid to refugees from the Bangladesh area, who were fleeing by the thousands. In total, the concert and other efforts stemming from it raised over $240,000 for UNICEF, with additional money still going to them through later film revenue.
