Read your blog. Cannot agree more. i was seated way back, percussion sounded okay.

Any reason you dont put the subjective review as part of the forum. Whenever you say shortly I still dont know when is the subjective review exactly coming up. I suggest you do what Bharath always does , post both the songlist and subjective review and additionally provide a link -that way we can use quote to proceeed with threaded discussions.

Thank you for your lovely review. I am assuming this concert must have been after a long jet lag flight from North America , possily vidwan NSG was bit more tired.

@ Rajeshnat
The review develops over a period of time. Though the first draft is usually ready after the concert, a finer version is ready before I leave for office.

Sometimes, when I critically see my own review, I edit them, n number of times.

Rasikas.org has a limit for 5 edits.

Hosting the review on my blog, gives me the flexibility to repair - both grammar and content.

You can edit any no of times in your blog and it makes sense to correct few mistakes that can come out .Though I would prefer you not to ever delete the content to fundamentally change as you did before for a review . As such my humble request is for you is to edit any no of times and then post both the song list and subjective content in the rasikas.org in one shot . As such there are folks like me some times i even miss out your reviews . Also if it is in bulletin board of rasikas ,we all can collectively participate as a threaded discussion and occasionally enjoy the quote misquote fights . Also if thalaivarda did not put his post , I would have not bothered to visit your link again since today morning i saw your blog link once where you did not put the subjective post yet

Any way I still prefer you to wait possibly after few edits that you do and post it in one shot here at rasikas.org just on the lines of what bharath used to do where he pushes identical content in both the forum and his personal blog.

Choice is absolutely yours though I have communicated my preference . Thank you for your review and keep writing always.

badari,

This is not the first time NSG voice is not cooperating>I have seen this happen in quiet a few of his concerts.Some of these stalwarts depend only on past reputation.However they have contributed in their own way to the music world.Similar was the case in recent concerts of Sri T N Seshagopalan.
This perhaps might signal about the number of engagements they accept may be more for the circumstances.

Badari,
A review where you say very well what you felt on listening to NSG, substantiating it with valid points...

A contrast of a performance from his Cleveland concert and many of his other concerts. I agree with Rajesh. Jet lag, and more than that his time at Cleveland working away in every possible capacity--as an active participant, conductor, judge, eager attender of many concerts. Hope he rests a bit after his very active time in NA.

We have in him a treasure of a musician...

Some concerts are better left not reviewed for various known reasons. In such cases, i will leave it with the list of songs performed for the evening.

[hnbhagavan]

Badari,

I am puzzled whenever there is no detailed review of a concert and only song list.In that case you feel concert was not upto a level of satisfaction and you want to leave it at that?
I still look forward to your detailed review.
