Hitesh Dhutia
Hitesh Dhutia from Junckt was one of the guitarists in the backing band. It's a pity he was pretty much inaudible for most of the show.

FA Talafaral
Multi-instrumentalist FA Talafaral, who has played with Sridhar/Thayil, was on keyboard. The man sure knows his stuff but perhaps a more nuanced approach would have better suited the night's music.

Jehangir Jehangir
Something Relevant's timekeeper, Jehangir Jehangir, was spot-on all night. JJ's improvisational skills and sense of rhythm are worth mentioning. Clearly a jam band drummer.
