There had been too many starts/stops during the live performance. Light from the stage was reflecting onto the audience and that was annoying. The stage microphones for the singers have been being constantly swapped out. The song alternatives have been very poor. Not many massive singers besides Mano and Chitra. Some of the songs are shocking like “Kanmani Anbodu”.
I can’t consider that there were so many babies in that degree of sound. I have been to SPB’s concert at HAYWARD,CA few occasions prior to now years. The sound setup was a lot better compared to this live performance. Also mixing each language songs doesn’t seem like fun. It would have been good, if it was two separate instances for difference languages, so both audience would have felt so much magic of his music. Hope subsequent time the sound setup shall be checked out properly earlier than we invite these legends.
Tickets were overpriced for the nosebleed section. Could have included more peppy nos. With electrifying numbers from Bollywood movies on September 23.
Would have been better if the conversations have been in Telugu. The event was supposed to be bi-lingual. But it was mostly tamil and not telugu. That too for the short ilayaraja usa concert 2016 period it was well carried out. The area is really good and the soundings have been good.
I didnt know the man who sang it but he did well and the orchestra was unbelievable reproducing the music. Raja was cool with whistles, applause and shouting whilst they had been singing. He was pleased when the crowd applauded during some of the extaordinary bits in a song – when the singer nails a tough transition from a high observe to a decrease note or good items by part of the orchestra. He himself would provide them with his applause throughout those bits.
Are eagerly waiting to catch up with eminent Indian celeb Gulzar in Rahway on September 17. Gulzar will sing a few of the finest songs from his collection in a stay live performance among the upcoming Indian events in New Jersey. Both live shows – Raaja’s demeanor, calm and his command of the place! I may see the pride he has for his Art, and for his dedicated staff of musicians (he even known as considered one of them an excellent music director – may be Barani?).
