  The live recording of "Something" from Madison Square Garden on January 1, 1996, marks a significant moment in George Harrison's post-Beatles career, occurring nearly three decades after the original release of the song on "Abbey Road" in 1969. By this time, Harrison was celebrated not just as a former member of The Beatles, but also as a successful solo artist, having released several acclaimed albums. Notably, his album "All Things Must Pass" from 1970 had established him as a formidable songwriter with multiple hit singles. The performance at Madison Square Garden during the "The Concert for Bangla Desh" was groundbreaking as it was one of the first major charity concerts and underscored his commitment to philanthropy. The fact that "Something" was praised by fellow bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney as one of their best songs adds a layer of historical significance, showcasing Harrison's evolution as a songwriter and his lasting impact on music history.
