Given short time, I am going to update facebook.com/Ilayaraja-NJEvent as soon as I have any update. Please check it out for up to date info.

I will check with the organizer and see if I can host TFM hubbers for a photo shoot with Maestro.

Please PM me whoever want to meet Maestro. I cant guarantee (ofcourse no one can, except Maestro), but I will try my best.

All

You may buy $1000, $500, $250 from me directly (if you call iDreamMedia, they will ask you to buy atleast 50 tickets). Tickets will also be available in very selective indian stores (In Oaktree Road, it will be availabe in movietime). We are working out

I will try to get 5-10% discount, regardless of the number of tickets you are buying. Note: This is only for tfm hubbers. This is where I learned more about Ilayaraja and his music, hence I am volunteering.

Rest of the denominated tickets are available ONLY from ticketmaster. Even event organizer have to buy through ticketmaster. Please do not ping/message me for any other tickets, because I wont be able to get it for you.

Incase if anyone of you want to volunteer, please let me know on/before Tuesday.

Thanks

Not at this time. After NJ, Maestro is going to San Jose and going back to India.

Hopefully maestro does it more often. We in NJ are going to make it very loud and clear.

Toronto show

Show stared 2 hours late due to late arrival of orchestra. Gopinath tried to control the crowd and asked people to song their songs and it was a disaster.

Parthian as usual was poetic and gave apt intro to songs.

Raja sir unsurprisingly sand Janani Janani, but sang very well compared to other shows.

SPB, Chitra, Karthik and all junior singers sang very well.

Hariharan was much better than other shows .

Madhu balakrishnan sang perfectly. In fact he was the only one who received clap immediately after he started singing alaap.

Many mistakes by everyone. Didn't felt like watching professional show. This is not 80s or 90s. There are many channels and multiple talent show, so people are more aware of small mistakes.

Raja must also understand that every single show he has done is on you tube, hence he should either tell different stories or just focus on performance. He repeated "nila adhu vaanathumalae" from Coimbatore show.

Yuvan spoke from his heart and said my dad was never there for me, but my mom closed the gap and she was my mom an dad and that is what allowed appa to focus on music.

Karthik mentioned that it is their moms thithi. He was bit emotional. However, looks like he forgot the skit and the whole episode of he calling SPB and SPB randomly talking about "raathiriyil poothirukkum" and how no one can do such a song in same raaga and maestro immediately sang "maanguyile poonguyile" lyrics in "raathiriyil" tune - I am sure when see them in TV, it will look really nice, but on stage it looked like a well prepared, but poorly executed script.

Crowd was so tired after waiting for over 2 hours forgot to clap. All anchors asked crowd to clap. Raja at some point said "enakku kevalamaa irukku, don't ask them to clap".

Crowd constantly took break for dinner/snacks.

Finishing was abrupt due to time constraints.

Everyone forgot to mention female artist name. Parthiban was little arrogant too. He said e only remember beautiful facea and not names. Vivek mentioned Sadana when Chitra was the actual singer. Even Raja sir forgot to intro female singers at the end, but he apologized and introduce them at the end.

Audio system wasn't great, starting from the time ads were going on. Don't they test it from all areas! This is not acceptable.

Irrespective of the many mess, few gems.

Om Shivohm - goosebumps
Née Paartha Paarvai - lovely
Isaiyil thodanguthamma - brilliant
Pottuvaiththa kaadhal thittam - freaking awesome

I will update song list little later.
