One of the more touching friendships to come out of the sixties was the mutual respect and appreciation the legend Bob Dylan held for the late, great Beatles guitarist George Harrison. Here, we’re looking back at a special duet of the Dylan tune ‘If Not For You’ that the pair shared during the rehearsals for ‘The Concert For Bangladesh’.

The track featured on Dylan’s then-current record New Morning as well as Harrison’s solo debut following The Beatles’ split; All Things Must Pass and finds a happy home in this footage.

The two friends stand side by side and perform the song as a duet as a warm-up for their impending live show at Madison Square Gardens on August 1st, 1971. The show would turn out to be a lasting moment in Harrison’s illustrious legacy as the former Beatles organised a benefit gig for the people of Bangladesh following years of turmoil, war, and famine.
