Concert for Bangladesh Revisited with George Harrison and Friends Page #2

---

The beauty of the event came across, um...and, you know, the audience

were so great, because they knew, at that time, they were witnesses.

"Wow! Look at these people together!"

Everybody wanted to help, you know. Everybody wanted to be a part of it.

You just knew it was all gonna come together,

because who's gonna say no to George?

George gave me a call and kind of explained what it was about.

And the charity of it. And I said, "Of course. I'd be happy to be a part of it."

I'd like to continue with a... a song from a member of the band.

An old friend of mine - Billy Preston.

It was exciting. To be able to play with people that you normally don't get a chance to.

So it was really exciting.

MUSIC:
"That's The Way God Planned It"

# Why can't we be humble

# Like the good Lord said?

# He promised to exalt us

# But low is the way

# How man be so greedy

# When there's so much left?

# All things are God given

# And they all have been blessed

# That's the way God planned it

# That's the way God wants it to be

# To be!

# That's the way God planned it

# That's the way God wants it to be

# To be!

# Let not your heart be troubled

# Let morning sobbing cease

# Learn how to help one another

# And live in perfect peace

# If we'd all just be humbler

# Like the good Lord said

# He promised to exalt us! But low is the way... #

We did two shows,

and the first one was... was excellent.

And, um... So by the time the second one came,

we all kind of relaxed a little bit and fell into a flow.

And on my number, man, I just...

'I got happy! I just jumped up and ran across the stage!'

HE LAUGHS 'And Phil Spector was in the trunk.

'He said, "Where did he go?! Where did he go?!"

'The band was jamming and it was pumping, the people were with us!

'You know, I just had to rejoice.'

# That's the way... Come on!..God planned it!

# That's the way God wants it to be

BACKING SINGERS:
# That's the way!

MUSIC REACHES A CRESCENDO, THEN STOPS

A couple of numbers from Leon.

The thing I remember about it was I thought I would be real nervous.

I got up there and it was so relaxing,

cos all these huge stars were all there.

And I was just sort of there. All the pressure wasn't on me.

But I didn't do anything but show up and sing.

# I was born in a cross-fire hurricane

# And I howled at my mama in the driving rain!

# But it's all right now

# In fact, it's a gas!

# But it's all right, yeah

# I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash It's a gas, gas, gas!

# Whoa-oh!

# Whoa-oh!

# Whoa-oh!

# Whoa-oh!

# Whoa-oh!

# Yeah, but it's all right now

# In fact, it's a gas!

# It's all right, yeah!

# I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash It's a gas, gas, gas, yeah... #
