Excellent thread. For me....
1994: Pink Floyd Division Bell tour (San Antonio) 1999: L Shankar, Zakir Husain and Vikku Vinayakaram in concert (i.e., Shakthi minus John McLaughlin) in San Francisco, I suspect Shankar was in deep financial trouble at this point in time and did this tour to make some quick money. I suspect they will not perform together again. 2000: Santana 2003/4: Remember Shakthi in Palace Grounds, Bangalore 2015/17: Buena Vista Social Club, Toumani Diabaté (Womadelaide, Adelaide, Australia) 2019/20: Tinariwen, Mulatu Astatke (Berkeley) There are also several carnatic music concerts, but I cannot quite place them in time.
