The Concert for Bangladesh generated lack of awareness and insignificant funds.
The Concert for Bangladesh . The shows were organised to raise international awareness and fund relief efforts for refugees from East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh ) , following the Bangladesh Liberation War-related genocide . Although the project was subsequently marred by financial problems -- a result of the pioneering nature of the venture -- the Concert for Bangladesh is recognised as a highly successful and influential humanitarian aid project , generating both awareness and considerable funds as well as providing valuable lessons and inspiration for projects that followed , notably Live Aid .
