Just heard it on democracy now. :(

I only got to see him once in 2003; he was amazing. It was a day after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster and he demanded a moment of silence, then played a bach cantata (don't remember which) that wasn't on the program-it was really emotional. To more great artists to come.
