From everything I've seen and read I always had huge respect for George Harrison as a wonderful person, and I'm really glad that he passed that on to his son.  I haven’t seen the tribute concert (definitely will now) but Dhani seemed like a really cool guy in this video.

And yes the role of the listener is limited. It's limited to the final result simply because the listener generally is not able to participate in everything that pours into that final result.  As a bass player, I thoroughly enjoy the process of wrangling out the rhythm with the drummer and the lead, the practice time, and everything leading up to the performance... everything that, in fact, makes the performance what it is.  The audience and the artists both are left with a souvenir, something that brings back a memory, but they have completely different memories that they attach to it. Nothing wrong with that. Not at all elitist. Just what it is. Ah, but it is exactly that, a souvenir. And yes the role of the listener is limited.

As well as some outstanding versions of George's songs, what really comes through is the universal affection for George as a musician and a man. And the final song by Joe Brown always brings a tear to my jaded old eyes. I am with you 100% on the the ‘Tribute to George’ concert, ChickieD.
