Wonderous Stories & Friends
Concert for Bangladesh re-visited-November 28th 2026 @ The Space at Westbury
In 1971 Harrison held the first large scale and historic rock and roll benefit at Madison Square Garden for the people of Bangladesh . They used sitars and other Indian instruments and of course he had superstars Eric Clapton ,Bob Dylan Leon Russel ,Badfinger , Billy Preston and more .
One of the great things about this show is that a portion of the money goes to St Judes Childrens Cancer Hospital !
Wonderous Stories,along with a huge band(choir ,horn section , sitars & more) will play the entire original concert aprox 1 1/2 hrs and then we call up some national acts who have had hits in the 60's , 70's and 80's and play some of their hits with them .
This will be the 10th & 11th time we will play this show. We will be retiring this amazing show after these 2 performances. Each show will be a little bit different with some song changes and a few different people each night .
In the past we've had national musicians doing the show with us including members of WINGS, BADFINGER, VANILLA FUDGE, HOOTERS, BILLY JOEL'S BAND , SOUL SURVIVORS, BRYAN ADAMS,TOWER OF POWER and more.
We'll be adding and announcing others to this years show as we get closer.
So far here is the lineup with more TBA .
