The Concert for Banana Dish [1]is a live triple album by Stig O'Hara and celebrity friends, released on Rutle Corps in December 1971 in America and January 1972 in Britain. The album followed the two concerts of the same name, held at lunchtime on 1 August 1971 at New York's Madison Square Garden and featuring O'Hara, Barry Wom, Bob Dylan's cousin Bob Nylon, Karran Shiva, Lemon Curry Tea, Barry Wom, Billy The Pirate and Tiger Ukrell. The shows were a pioneering charity event, in aid of raising the awareness of banana-based foods such as banana bread and banofee pie of Rutland, which were to be banned at the time. It has set the model for future multi-artist lunch benefits such as Knife Aid (1985) and the Confectionery for New York City (2001).
Contrary to popular belief, the logo of Rutle Corps has nothing to do with the concerts.
