Concert for Bangladesh Revisited with George Harrison and Friends Page #5

HUGE CHEER FROM THE CROWD

HE TUNES UP:

MUSIC:
"Just Like A Woman"

# Nobody

# Feels any pain

# Tonight

# As I stand inside the rain

# Everybody knows

# That baby's got new clothes

# But lately

# I see her ribbons and her bows

# Have fallen from her curls

# She takes

ALL:
# Just like a woman

# And she waits

# Just like a woman

# Then she breaks

# Just like a woman

# But she breaks just like a little girl

# Queen Mary

# She's my friend

# Yes, I believe

# I'll go see her again

# Nobody has to guess

# That baby can't be blessed

# Now she sees finally

# That she's like all the rest

# With her fog

# Amphetamine and her pearls

# She takes

# Just like a woman

# And she breaks

# Just like a woman

# And she wakes

# Just like a woman

# But she breaks just like a little girl... #

I was on tambourine and Bob did his couple of numbers.

And...you know, we just sort of... It was a jammy sort of way,

but we just sort of played, it was 4/4.

HE HUMS THE TUNE

Then we all went to the hotel, came back for the second show, and we came to Bob's set.

And so we all get down, ready to do it.

It was very weird, so I looked over at Leon...

"Oh, it's... It's a waltz this time, boys! Let's go!"

MUSIC:
"A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall"

# Oh, where have you been my blue-eyed son?

# Oh, where have you been my darling young one?

# I've stumbled on the side of 12 misty mountains

# I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways

# I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests

# I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans

# I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard

# It's a hard

# And it's a hard

# It's a hard

# And it's a hard

# It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

# Oh, what did you see my blue-eyed son?

# And what did you see my darling young one?

# I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it

# I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it

# I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'

# I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'

# I saw a white ladder all covered with water

# I saw 10,000 talkers whose tongues were all broken

# It's a hard

# It's a hard

# It's a hard

# It's a hard

# It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall... #

The Concert For Bangladesh came along at a moment

at which the rock'n'roll scene had been dispirited.

A number of things that happened that made you think maybe the life was going out of it.

Or it was kind of drifting. I mean, there were the prominent deaths of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin,

which suggested the drug scene was too heavy.

Altamont had happened only 18 months earlier, I think.

Er...Bob had not put out a record in a long time.
