That's a good way to look at it. This whole thing actualy reminds of 'Into the Wild', if anyone here has seen it, you'll know what I'm talking about. You know that smile the guy has on his face as he dies alone in the wild?..and they make a point of showing you this smile a few times throughout the movie, because he gets it when he is truley happy.
That's kind of what this guy had. He didn't look depressed when he wasn't playing music, but he didn't look really happy either. Then when we were in the middle of a song and got to a good part, he'd get this big smile that you'd never see otherwise, it was a "yes, I'm truley living right now!" kind of smile. Which I guess is weird to type, given what happened.
