Lovely song list Pantuvarali submain ,Palinchu madhyamavati main ,mmg as a RTP(I wish i was there to hear this) and with tailenders like eppo varuvArO and thillana in poornachandrika - wow RKM must have been like KVN . More power to him, also nice to hear the combo of the lovely varadu accompanying RKM. Manoj is seasoned enough to accompany RKM and as with anirudh who is making it big.
Hyderabad , the deccan chargers was for a day KVN Chargers

RKM asked if he can stop after Eppo Varuvaro, the organisers asked for thillana and thiruppugazh. So we got to hear them as well. The concert is awesome. I requested RKM to sing Paalinchu Kamakshi with the often unsung charanam, Ee moorthi inta tejomayi. I heard this from Sree Vijay Siva in the last or before last years Jaya TV Music Festival. RKM not only sang that charanam but also the last charanam which calls ambal as prasanna vikasa raajeeva dalakshi, jagatsaakshi, prasannaparasakti. When I thanked him at the end, he thanked me saying that because of my request he could learn the often not sung charanams taking me by surprise. Such a humble guy. On the stage, an elderly mami was asking him about the extra charanams in Viriboni. He replied that they are called anubandhams and are mentioned in SSP. This shows the kind of hardwork this musician puts.

Awesome concert it is bakthim dehi garu & rajeshnath garu. RTP was around for 25 mins. Paalinchu was for more than an hour. That one concert which remains forever in my heart.
