'Effect' was what I liked the most about the speech. These kind of speeches should come once in a while. They would create an impact in 'Listening to Raja is uncool' crowd. Also I am so glad DSP/VA/Yuvan were there listening to it live :lol2: They dint show them on Jaya but I am sure they would have enjoyed the speech.Quote:

பால்கி, ideas கொடுக்காதீங்கோ, காபி/லிப்ட் அடிக்க. it is a joke, but still
they may sabotage Raja's output :twisted:
Nobody go near golden age musicals from earlier composers like Ilayaraja, MSV-TKR, S.D.B, Madhan Mohan, R.D.B etc.. to lift, rehash, rework, remix etc..
Harichandran sang sundhari neeyum.... nice.
poove sempoove... bgm work for couple of more time, We all must thank Shri.Yesudas and his sincere heart. He proved he is a legend.
That postlude always lure us back to composition, this time no exception.
Thalapathi... sundari kannal oru sedhi.... Bala was :musicsmile:
Hope he arrives San jose soon.
Thanks to Jaya TV for this wonderful program.
Please release in quality print DVDs, we buy some copies, lock one in the Bank locker safe.

i have been sharing the IR concert with many of my musician friends here in the US! what surprised me was some of their comments / reactions to Sri Ramana Maharishi's picture at the beginning!!
comments ranged from
1. he has a beautiful smile
2. why is he wearing a diaper ?! -))
( I had to hastily explain its a kind of a loin cloth that most yogis in India wear having renounced all material objects in search of self-realization)
as for IR himself, one woman noted thus "did you see how the moment he started off with 'sivasakthi' in the first song, his eyes change ?? a different energy seems to flow through/from it !" - i was stupefied ! here is someone born and raised in the US, heavily drenched in music genres like pop, rock, heavy rock, country, as well as western classical and yet, she sees/perceives differing energy levels in IR's eyes !!
another comment : "so everyone else is singing / performing on stage - your man is just hanging out watching everyone else perform - what is he there for ??" - i hastily explained "he is the composer, who did all the stuff and he is there as both composer and conductor" - next time it would be nice if IR played the piano or the guitar - ppl in the west would rather watch an artist perform himself than just stand looking at his fellow artistes !!
last comment "dude, you act like a 5-year old out in disneyland whenever you get to talk abt this guy's music"!
well !
irir123,
Nice to see you back. Been a while since you posted.
I can understand the 5 yr old comment :) LOL at the diaper comment and really surprised at the 'energy level' comment.
Ilayaraja sang in his concert. Raja did good.
Ilayaraja is neither (physically)young like Yuvan or A.R.Rahman
nor
the performing artists like Violin Kanyakumari or Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan or Pandit Hariprasadd Chaurasia to sit & play an instrument whole show for hrs together. That's what they do. They are used to it.
IR now and then performed in his show & enjoyed , directed, practiced for months together with energy & love, delivered fantastic live show.
He already menakkettu in his romba manakkashtamaana nerathil for us because he already committed himself to the program.
We hope he and his team will offer the live programsof this quality in future, adhukku avanga health and wealth idam tharanum.
Forget the west format.
Vinatha.
