          This looks great! Whereas the CFG was mostly George's contemporaries this is mostly Dhani's contemporaries. This will be something to look forward to in the new year.

              Her sister Anoushka is awesome as well. I love the video where their Dad Ravi Shankar is teaching George the sitar and George is spinning off into all of these non-traditional creative riffs. Am looking forward to this new release of George stuff. Norah and Anoushka songs...

                    I'd be lying if I said that the same thought didn't occur to me.

                                    Yeah, I noticed that and ordered the BluRay. Very strange but maybe they're trying to push BluRay now as opposed to DVD?

                                          After a sustainable thirty year career, although mostly known for parody songs, you'd have to have be able to sing. This set will finally showcase that other side for Al. What passion he has on the stage at GeorgeFest.

                                            That sounds a lot better than all the other Youtube videos. I'm sure the official video won't look like it was recorded on a phone either.
