My @EddieVedderRock memory. Read on.

It's the early 90s, I'm living in Hong Kong and I pick up #NusratFatehAliKhan 's fusion album with #MichaelBrook. Mustt Mustt (& later Night Song) on Peter Gabriel's @RealWorldRec I'm entranced.

1994. I move to Portland, Oregon

1995 or 1996 I randomly hear Nusrat is performing in #Seattle. Never been there before, but I book tickets and get the front row. Drive over and land up well in advance. He wasn't as well known then, the crowd is thin but dedicated.

Lights go down, Nusrat comes on to stage

He is quite large. He has literally to be lifted into position to sit amidst his musicians by two people.

He starts singing and you forget his size, shape, everything. It's sheer heaven.

Sitting right next to me is a scrawny guy with dirty brown hair in a black tee
