Description
Former Beatle George Harrison helped create the blueprint for the benefit concert with the Concert for Bangladesh in 1971. Musicians such as Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne took the lessons from that benefit and helped create the No Nukes festival in September 1979. As the 40th anniversary of No Nukes approaches, this episode looks at the reasons for these benefits, the successes and challenges, and some of the iconic performances by rock legends including Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen.
