T M Krishna gave a high energy performance. The concert was great and was well appreciated by the rasikas. There was a glitch in the audio system to begin with but was quickly rectified. Kudos to TM Krishna and his team. I am starting this post with the hope other members will add the list of songs and add their opinions. His low notes were not audible in the very back rows. In one of the kritis Krishna took a long pause making me nervous but I knew he was in total control. His voice range was incredible.

This was 2 days ago and I'll write the song list as I remember.
1) Bhavanutha - Mohanam (KS)
2) Krupajoochuta - Chayatharangini
3) E papamu - Atana (R,KS)
4) Saragunapalimpa - Kedaragoulai-(R,N,KS)
5) RTP-Bhairavi
6) Eppo Varuvaro - Jonpuri (KS)
7) Venkatachala Nilayam

Inspite of the audio glitch and delayed start, TMK took off from the first note. He hit his peak in Kedaragaulai which was near divine. Just awesome 3 hours!

Any recollections of the pallavi line, was there a swara ragamaliga, if yes rAgas please.
BTW, I am assuming the tani was as long as 25 or 30 minutes , since it was KM. Is that right?

I think you'll find that the answer to that is an emphatic no!
TM Krishna is very much against people recording and sharing his concerts. We just have to hope that it comes out as a commercial recording.
