I watched Remember Shakti yesterday at Palace Grounds, and man, I was blown away, again! The last time I experienced something similar was here. Similar observations - these guys (and Carnatic music in general) have amazing rhythmic patterns and phrasing! All the instrumentalists were absolutely brilliant, and so was Shankar Mahadevan - he certainly added value to the performance. Listening to Indian classical melodies backed by John Mclaughlin's jazz chords was an out-of-this-world experience. I felt the lack of a bass guitarist or a keyboardist to fill up the sound, but that was only when Zakir Hussain was playing the snare and the bass drum, not when he played the tabla.
