SHAKTI 2023| Zakir Hussain | John McLaughlin | Shankar Mahadevan | Ganesh Rajagopalan | Selva Ganesh

[@deepeshkumar6030]

Who's here after GRAMMY AWARD

[@Chandann-]

Shankar classical and zakir with tabla 😮😮 Really deserves grammy ❤❤🎉

[@AnanthNat]

Ganesh violin is creating his own brand of magic! Lets give him his due while still mourning the absence of L Shankar!

[@sonalvora7933]

Also, the absence of Srini, U Srinivas, who played Mandolin so well!

[@jackdolphy8965]

Thank you for pushing back on that comment. My creds are as good as any of you, having been with McLaughlin since In A Silent Way, ok I was 14 - but very with it. And on top of MVO and Shakti at the time they released. Anyways Lol - I was at the Seattle concert on Sept 6. Of course I love L Shankar. And Ganesh was marvelous. Absolutely marvelous.

[@rickmcinnis3820]

The overused word: astonishing, is appropriate in discussing his playing.

[@chetandange9866]

But l Shankar is something else

[@11111abcd11111]

Wow. Grammy. Great work deserves great appreciations. You guys earned it.

[@richardgeorgeallen6323]

The reunion of SHAKTI was such a pleasant surprise to me. I have been a fan for over 30 years.

[@TerryBonanno]

Was fortunate to see them in London 1977. I still cant think straight. Hello from Australia.

[@nomnom112]

Imagine listening to them live in person

[@KGSinghSF]

Awesome and very enjoyable, We went to enjoy this concert here in San Francisco, California Super performance

[@nickdorian9149]

Just got my tickets for Port Chester and Vienna. Seeing McLaughlin will be a dream come true for me. Factor in Scofield at one gig and Bela at the next. Thinking about doing more of the tour. Now I must go practice.

[@nomadzz2777]

Wow, just masters .. so happy that Zakir and John playing together again. I saw together them so many times .... Thanks for this !!!

[@starrs22]

Super super super. 3 Grammys 🙏

[@bssmanian50]

I have listened to the original Shakti band consisting of VIkku, Zakir and John long back; It is really pleasant to listen to them again with new additions of Great Ganesh, Sankar and Ganapathy. Simply fantastic.

[@johnanderson27]

They sound better than ever especially John I didn’t think that they would come back after losing U.srinavas but they are better than ever 🙏🏻

[@levypierre1647]

Marvelous! Good news, they play again! I saw "Remember Shakti" many times and listen to the 5 CDs regularly (we miss Srinivas so much!!), thank you very much for this video!

[@fredbloggs6085]

I'm seeing a lot of comments that seek to compare, rather than celebrate. Please look again and decide, instead, to celebrate, trust me, you will be much happier...peace...❤

[@stevenszatmari-li7ex]

Saw Shakti back in the late 70s/early 80s at a small club in Hollywood. It was MESMERIZING. Waiting in Nashville now for the sequel. See you in August you genius/virtuoso bedazzlers!

[@duncanmcphee186]

i saw Shakti in 1978 at the Glasgow Apollo. what a wonderful surprise this is

[@mohanlala585]

Ustad Zakir Hussain and other are legends together playing that golden time wow

[@ThouArtAGeek]

Saw them in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai in 2012.. with the late mandolin Srinivas... when of the best evenings of my life... missed it this time in Mumbai!! glad to have some version of it on YT

[@sujaulkhan9633]

this can only be explained by saying that miracles still happen. East and west breathing as one. Reminds one of Ravi and Menuhin duets. All is bliss !

[@fredbloggs6085]

Finally watching this after seeing a transendental performance in London Tuesday. Bliss.

[@makeperceive]

Good evening friends, thank you for that warm welcome. This is a piece that's very simply called, "What need have I for this, what need have I for that, I Am Dancing At The Feet Of My Lord, all is bliss, all is bliss".

[@ajaychauhan-fc3oh]

Bravo tata

[@rwjack]

I just saw this show in Michigan last night. Completely blew me away. Phenomenal musicians all.

Yes, yes Shakti holistic… we have realized we are all one! P.

Fascinating, conversation with instruments. These Artists all have good hearts. You are blessed with exceptional musical talent. They make the viewers very happy. ❤🍀

Been a fan since early 80s. Tremendous

[@tsmusic4521]

Won Grammy award today #thismoment #shankarmahadevan #jakirhussain🎉❤

[@andreistroe4140]

wonderful. seeing them next week, in Timisoara.

[@akjono108]

Wow - just started to watch .... saw many other vids, but never in person. Had the LP's, records, back in the late 70s, 80s, and Shakti one of my all time favourites! Pranams to Zakir + Johnji + Shankar and Ganesh and Selva, and Thank you for playing beautiful music, and bringing peace to the world. :-)

[@lefujyou]

JM still burning 🔥 after all these year 🫠ZH still burning 🔥☮️❤️✨

[@leclaireguy263]

beautiful - cried in the last piece

[@massimomaax5054]

Wow! Super wow

[@delzworld2007]

Mumbai is business. Delhi is Politics, while Kolkata is about culture. What better place to have this concert. Its hard to believe that John started his collaboration with top class Indian classical musicians over 50 years ago. I don't think of Shakti as a band, its more of another genre of beautiful music.

[@AnanthNat]

There's also a place called Chennai... or Madras for oldtimers... which is home to one of the biggest classical music festivals in the world. And home to a good number of artistes who have made Shakti famous over 50 years. Why is this city being ignored?

[@barryherzog662]

As long as John and Zakir play, it will be Grand🎉

[@carlsagan3459]

Fabulous !! I already know of previous albums to Shakti except this new album of 2020

[@ltcolumbo9708]

Man I wished the Producers had recorded this show in the year 2023 in Kolkata where camera can be placed on a dolly with wheels or mount the camera on a crane or just give the camera to any audience member with cel phone who knows how to use camera zoom features

[@НиколайДядюн-е8р]

Музыка, сыгранность музыкантов и чувство друг друга на высшем уровне! Вот только жаль что снято одной камерой и с довольно дальней дистанции!

No gods needed for great music. It’s a human achievement.

[@barefootarts737]

@@larryparis925 I agree completely. My comment was about what I do with the inspiration. It seems like you are looking for something in my words that is not there.

Hello Can anyone tell me, what is the song/section, starting around 28 minites is called? I saw them yesterday for the first time in my hometown Budapest, and it definitely has been the best concert i have ever seen. But unfortunately i cant find the songs they played, so i would appriciate some help. Cheers!

[@junjunyopdjh]

It's called 'Giriraj Sudha'. The original of this song is South Indian classical music.

[@gergelycsintalan1400]

Thank you very much :) @@junjunyopdjh

After Grammy I listen this masterpiece ❤

[@akshitpithadia6987]

I was there to witness these maestros weave this experience!

[@davidurciuoli8594]

I agree. L takes the band into the stratosphere.

[@scabcastle5786]

28:51 , anyone else think it sounds like Miles' Silent Way??

[@tina.singh27]

Maybe some guitar reminiscence... but its ok, not really that much 🎶🎵

[@deepakmishraindia]

After Grammy I listen this masterpiece its superb

[@Questerry895]

I also was lucky enough to see the original band repeatedly when the first albums cam out, Mahadevan has to be the most skilled vocalists on the planet, (along with Thjis Van Leer of Focus) and its magic watching him and Zakir stop on a dime. I have been a drummer all my life, but their language of rhythm just completely confounds me. I'll leave it to the masters and just listen.

[@Sriranjan_Nanda_Ramesh]

hope to see them this fall

[@AnanthNat]

100%

[@Santurys]

listening to the video with headphones shows that the sound in the event room has a lot of reverberation and the capture would have to be directly from the venue table. That way we would better appreciate the judicabands, the predominant brand in the group. A pity, but it serves as a record

[@SteamDougy]

might someone list the names of the songs, please?

[@AnanthNat]

As if it matters?

[@tina.singh27]

Not bad, but I definitely prefer the old version of Shakti, with L.N. Shankar and without vocal... 😊

[@alanwerner8563]

P/A problems. But very fine performance nonetheless. 🪷🌸😊🌞🌈🌎🌍🌏🌈🌞🌺🌹🪷

[@AnanthNat]

1. Xxx 2. Ma No Pa (comp by Zakir) 3. Giriraja sutha 4. Sakhi

[@tina.singh27]

The problem in India is that most of the time, ppl just come and go as they like during the concert and that is not showing respect to the performers and disturbing the rest of the audience, imho 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@GeorgeMacDonald-n5f]

Ok

[@pan.satyros131]

RIP Zakir Hussain.

[@rodcoombes8711]

Seems everybody is into playing a million notes a minute these days, neverthless this is spectacular, but I would prefer more content less speed.

[@AnanthNat]

Jazz fusion is mostly like this. Ghazal and Hindustani classical concerts would be slower

[@rodcoombes8711]

@@AnanthNat True, but I even find tabla players are doing the tabla speed Olympics these days.

odd to me that there is such commercialism for the background... Is it just me?

Just you. Most are happy that banks sponsor good stuff

[@dhyanrajagopalannair6095]

Audio isn't good....

[@SuperBB1962]

A great presentation is somehow lost its desired charm with unprofessional attidude of the technician team including poor videography by the cameraman.Where the camera was paced ?Face of audience appeared in between lens and stage.

[@AnanthNat]

Yes this looks like a mobile phone recording from 5th row

[@RaviShastryC]

Great music. Unfortunately sub standard recording with heavy humming.

[@ananth79]

Violin sounds so horrible, missing Mandolin Shrinivas ji.

[@AnanthNat]

And L Shankar! Ganesh is a fantastic violinist, but he just cannot fill in for L Shankar.

[@rohitj7708]

One artist can't fill in for another instead they bring their own identity.

[@UjjalKohliYeah]

Amazing virtuosity. Great artists. Nice attempt to meld North Indian Classical, Carnatic and Jazz, three genres of music that I love. But with the greatest due respect, may I candidly say that this lacks the emotionality that I feel in any of those three great genres. The melding here is not creating anything that I love here. The percussion solos are the best part for me. Just one person's subjective non expert opinion.

[@AnanthNat]

@Ganesh ji is brilliant as Impact substitute violinist for you-know-who! However it seems he decided that Squeaky bowing = Jazzy Shakti. It is not.

[@patricketienne-e1m]

Stop measuring,it create more conflicts for us .
