I saw it too, it was, as everyone else has said, a superb tribute concert. I was completely taken by surprise, not knowing it was going to be on, as I was about to go to bed and didn't have time to find a spare tape to shove in the player, so I stayed up to watch the entire thing. For almost 40years the music of Ravi Shankar has given me instant hunger-pangs (thank goodness there is a very fine Indian take-away within a few feet of my front door!) I think what surprised me most of all is Dhani's uncanny and stunning resemblance to his father.
