from Oannes *

Το φιλανθρωπικό κονσέρτο για τους πρόσφυγες του Bangladesh [Madison Square Garden, Αύγουστος 1971] ήταν το πρώτο του είδους του. Διοργανώθηκε από τον George Harrison με συμμετοχές από τους Ravi Shankar [συνδιοργανωτής], Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, etc.
Ακούμε τον ex-Beatle σε μια ηχογράφηση από το άλμπουμ [τριπλό βινύλιο] που κυκλοφόρησε την ίδια χρονιά. Ο Harrison είναι από τους επιφανείς του κλαμπ μας των γεννημένων τον Φεβρουάριο μουσικών.

The charity concert for Bangladesh’s refugees [Madison Square Garden, August 1971] was the first of its kind.
It was organized by George Harrison and featured performances from Ravi Shankar [co-organizer], Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton etc.
We hear the ex-Beatle on a track from the album [triple vinyl] released that same year. Harrison is a prominent member of our February born musicians club.

❝ Wah-wah
You’ve given me a wah-wah
And I’m thinking of you
And all the things that we used to do
Wah-wah, wah-wah
Wah-wah
You made me such a big star
Being there at the right time
Cheaper than a dime
Wah-wah, you’ve given me your
Wah-wah, wah-wah
Oh, you don’t see me crying
Oh, you don’t hear me sighing
Wah-wah
I don’t need no wah-wah
And I know how sweet life can be
If I keep myself free, wah-wah
I don’t need no wah-wah
Oh, you don’t see me crying
Hey baby, you don’t hear me sighing
Oh, no, no, no, no
Wah-wah
Now I don’t need no wah-wahs
And I know how sweet life can be
If I keep myself free of wah-wah
I don’t need no wah-wah
Wah-wah, wah-wah, wah-wah
Wah-wah, wah-wah, wah-wah
Wah-wah, wah-wah❞
