I was hearing "ananda then kaatru" song for the first time. wondering how I missed this one. Such a treasure. Not sure how many were there like this.
Sundar Varadarajan,
if my memory serves right, "Anandha thEn kARRu" is from the unreleased movie "maNippUr mAmiyAr". That is why it is not so popular. The movie also had another song "samayal pAdamE" (which was reused as "enna samayalO" in "unnAl mudiyum thambi")
njv...What was the total attendance. I saw some upper sections had unfilled areas. Are they for season ticket holders?? My estimate was anywhere between 12,000 - 15,000.
Innoru vishayam NJV... where did Hariharan and Sadhana go??
Wish Sadhana was there... no regrets on Hari missing though :)
I heard Hari made a fuss he wouldnt sing Telugu songs and dropped out - Is that true? How about Sadhana?
- I heard that Suhasini backed out in the last minute when she came to understand that the NJ organizers had nothing to do with the CA concert and that she was only interested to come to CA show. is that true?
- This might be a stupid question, but am just asking - Who actually calls the shots to make the song list selection? Maestro IR or is it a collation of a list from several sources?
- I enjoyed the show overall, but if we had something musical as well for the first one hour of wait in addition to the , it would have been a great warming up session. For example, a local orchestra doing some initial rounds and then getting the giants perform. Just a day before the shows, I was approached by one of the members in the organizers for me to do a one-man-show - Playing Keys lead and backings for non-IR songs per the initial discussions. But, the same fissiled out due to some security clearance issues by the Prudential Center. My bad luck. :-( Else, I was all geared to engage the audience to some peppy numbers. In fact my proposed song list for this so called one man show was also approved. :-)
I am not sure who is speculating all these, but very interesting theories. If anyone know why they didnt show up, please post it here. Would be interesting to know ;)
Balaji, I was told about Hari by the TAGDV guys who said they were there in the morning for the rehearsal of telugu songs. It seems they had a meeting with IR that was cancelled because IR had to rehearse that morning for the telugu songs. Apologize if untrue.
You don't need to apologize. it's just people assuming things and speaking on behalf of artists and creating bad impression. Morning rehearsals happened in the same sequence that you saw in the evening. That's one of the reason senior artists and legends like Raja sir don't speak much. We interpret them differently. People don't listen. They hear what they want to hear. I myself miscommunicated few times because I don't know some of the terms they use, so imagine how many people the messages must have crossed before coming to you.
Any idea why Raja sir got upset over the audience towards the end? I thought the crowd behaved well, showed their maturity and respected the artists. I heard the message said, but I felt it could have been handled better or ignored it
TV9 covering the event in their news.....

There are few people in VIP section, constantly demanding Telugu songs and continuously disturbed.
Handled better: this is not any official answer, but after the show while going back maestro said he didn't connect with audience for first few songs but established connection after a while. I am not sure how you can quantify this. It's the vibe and feeling of being involved. Perhaps for maestro he indeed was talking to every one of us. Put yourself in that shoe and think about someone breaking that bond.
Raaja sir is music and music is Raaja sir. In our way backed, when we thanked his, he said "why thank me? It's my duty". He seriously believe har his life is meant to create music for us, so he takes music very very seriously.
Thanks Sundar for the detailed list. So, the tally is 16% Telugu Songs Vs 84% Tamil songs and that's why I guess, the Telugu guys were frustrated and making noise. I also heard some Kannada folks in the first level gallery asking for Kannada numbers - For instance, a combination of Jotheyalli transitioning to Vizyille to Jane Do Na would have done some magic. Actually, I expected numbers like Mandram Vandha, Andhi Mazai...in addition. But, then, I guess, there are many aspects to consider and the list could get very long as, all of IR's songs are gems and evergreen.
Ramesh,
SPB clearly mentioned to audience that we should ask only "music" and not distinguish Telugu, Tamil or Hindi songs. As a matter of fact, I was expecting one or two Mallu or hindi songs.. But no regrets. The song selections were super and best.
Yeah, agreed Sundar. On singing - I liked all the singing except for Bhavatharini's. She could have avoiding singing. Karthik Raja is ok. All the new singers, Chitra and SPB were awesome!

It clearly looks like the NJ Concert gave a better listening experience, be it audio quality or audience response, than the Toronto concert. Any popular tamizh tholaikaatchis telecasting these shows?
Sundar, do you really want to map raagas to songs like "sangeedh thirunaaLo or "ennOdu vaa vaa" types? They are very light[ no complaints about that] and do not exhibit any proper raagaa flavour.
Small correction, "sorgame endraalum" - should be Hamsanaadham . "SAINDHU SAINDHU" - A VERY LIGHT mOHANAM BASED SCALE
Kaadhal Oviyam of AlaigaLoiyvadhillai - Shankarabharanam scale
Kaatril varum geethame - Yamuna kalyani
sutha chabaa - madhyamavath /sriragami???
I have an extra ticket for tomorrow's SJ concert. Pl PM me for details.
Raaja sir left NJ. CA is gonna rock tomorrow.
Review of IR's concert in NJ on Feb 23, 2013: http://www.idlebrain.com/news/today/...malasetty.html
A +ve review, but user comments are -ve as a result of expecting more Telugu songs. Such concerts should be projected mainly as IR's Tamil songs concert with some Telugu songs. Surely, a predominantly IR's Telugu songs concert will be well received as well.
Welcome to San Jose, Raja!
