valaci (varnam) - navarAgamAligai - Adi - PSI. Hit the ground running right away, he did
nAda thanumanisham - chittaranjani - Adi - T (s@pallavi). don't recall having listened live at all and most probably first ever time live for me
marivErE dikkevvaru - latAngi - k cApu - PSI (rn@manasAra). No shade of kalyani/pantuvarali at all. pure latangi all the way. he made me like it. there is a certain poignancy to this ragam. stopping with just nereval and no swarams was the right thing to do!
kuRamagaL maghizh kumarA - kalyAnavasantam - Adi - Tanjore Kalyanaraman (raga sketch, s@pallavi)
sublime sahAna Alapanai by both vocalist & violinist giripai nelakona - sahAnA - Adi - T (rs@pallavi, tani). A grand tani it was, soft on the ear as well
parulanna mAta - kApi - rUpakam - dharmapuri subbarAyar
RTP (kanjadaLAyatAkshi kAmAkshi kamalAmanOhari) - sAveri - Adi - rAgamAligai swarams (in sAveri, kamalAmanOhar, ?, ?). Overall about 25 mins of RTP but what a sAveri it was and satisfactory sans trikAlam/tisram. If I were to pick the best of this bestest experience so far, this Alapanai and kamalAmanOhari swarams it would be. Both Alapanai and tanam were so sweet. Perhaps next he take kamalAmanOhari, jaganmOhini and mmg itself.
gOvardhana giridhAra - darbari kAnadA - t triputai/m cApu - nArayana thIrthar
virutham (kunitha puruvamum kovvai chevvAyil) in behAg followed by Adum chidambaramO - behAg - Adi - GKB
thillAnA (nirinirigamagarisa) - pUrvi - rUpakam - too many attributions!
+HKV, TV & GU
+Everything! A concert to remember. He was totally in zone and hit all the high notes
PS: Wonder what will happen if we were to tie his left hand down
