The Concert for Bangladesh. The shows were organised to raise international awareness and fund relief efforts for refugees from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), following the Bangladesh Liberation War-related genocide. The concerts were attended by a total of 40,000 people, and raised close to US$ 250,000 for Bangladesh relief, which was administered by UNICEF. Although the project was subsequently marred by financial problems - a result of the pioneering nature of the venture - the Concert for Bangladesh is recognised as a highly successful and influential humanitarian aid project, generating both awareness and considerable funds as well as providing valuable lessons and inspiration for projects that followed, notably Live Aid.
