Different people have a different reaction.  We knew after two or
three songs that something w as "wrong." Unfortunately, the audience
was not the nicest either.  I've been to concerts where the applause
were thunderous. Not this one.

IIRC George stayed away from his Beatles material and from his solo
"hits" and concentrated on more obscure, preachy religious stuff.  I
don't mind George singing about his religion here and there . . . .
but it was a big part of his show.  It was too much.

I was never a fan of Ravi Shankar and his music, especially live.
Strangely, when I see him on film I appreciate it more.
