partial song list

thuLasi bilva - kEdaragowlai - Adi - T (ns@uramuna mukhamuna)
samukhAna nilva - kOkilavarAli - Adi - T (s)
E pApamu - aTAnA - m cApu - T (r, tanam, n@rAjashEkara sannuta)
enthavEdukondu - saraswatimanOhari - Adi - T (short n@chinta dhIrchuda)
dorakunA - bilahari - Adi - T

was there till start of bilahari song and then had to leave.

#1 was #1 pick for me. #4 I felt was stretching atAnA to its limits and then some. All in all, #3 went for about 40 mins.

The concert was boring mainly due to the laid back attitude of TMK,I think.After the Pilahari (MD says so and not Bilahari)there was tani and next there was a slokam where TMK asked the violinist to lead the next rAgam.Again it was just so so.Chakkani Raaja the last no.was a bit of a face saver.Even the normally melting "mokshamugaladaa" couldn't lift the concert.A forgettable one.

I am sure there was a packed hall.

I like TM Krishna's talks more than his music. But then there are a few like his Saramaina Matalu in Behag and his Jandanandakaraka which are just out of this world! There is something about the way he pronounces his lyrics that puts me off most times. Just my opinion.
