In November 2011, a demo of "My Sweet Lord", with Harrison backed by just Voormann and Starr, was included on the accompanying the British DVD release of Scorsese's "Living in the Material World" documentary. Described as an early "live take" by compilation producer Giles Martin, and an "acoustic hosanna" by David Fricke, it was recorded at the start of the "All Things Must Pass" sessions and was later released internationally on ' in May 2012. starting with the two Concert for Bangladesh shows at New York's Madison Square Garden on 1 August 1971. The recording released on the subsequent live album was taken from the evening show and begins with Harrison's spoken "Hare Krishna" over his opening acoustic-guitar chords. Among the 24 backing musicians was a "Soul Choir" featuring singers Claudia Linnear, Dolores Hall and Joe Greene, but it was Harrison who sang the end-of-song Guru Stotram prayer in his role as lead vocalist, unlike on the studio recording (where it was sung by the backing chorus). The slide guitar parts were played by Eric Clapton and Jesse Ed Davis.
