J-Card Comment NOTES ON THE PERFORMANCE
This was my first introduction to Nusrat, and the only opportunity I had to see him perform. Exactly one year after this appearance at the Greek Theatre, he suffered kidney and liver failure, and died of cardiac arrest at age 48 five days later, on August 16, 1997. I cannot compare this show to other Nusrat & party performances, but even if it was the band's worst day ever (which I doubt), it remains one of the most transcendent concerts I have ever attended.
