Genius. Essential. I got to meet Shankar once backstage after a concert in Baltimore (I think it was the Spring of '75). I went to shake his hand and almost lurched back, afraid that I might have hurt him. The hand was as soft as wadded tissue paper! He was very gracious, I've always loved the above performance from Monterey.
