Forever in my mind is this band (sans singer) playing at Harvard U. in 2001.I went with a friend who would be dead in months from Brain Cancer-he knew it, and came to the show anyway (his idea!) During an AMAZING performance, he leaned over, in pain, and said, 'I'm so glad you are here with me hearing this." I'm still getting misty-eyed thinking about it..Shakti and Martin Baker are forever fused together in my mind. RIP brother, 10/8/2001.12 years feels like 2 weeks. Thank U for posting this!
U Srinivas had such an amazing talent; such a unique take on mandolin playing. I am always blown away by what he played. I'm sad I never got to see him live, but thankful that he existed and was recorded.
With a blink of Shiva's eye Srinivas came forth, gave us pure manifestation of sound, music to our ears, and was gone. But we still have the material recordings to supplement the akashic trails. !Om Shanti Om!
Thanks! I have written the beginning of each piece as I was listening: 0:00 Caruna 15:55 Introduction of musicians 19:00 Manopa 29:00 Sahki 41:22 Giriras Sudha
These musicians are all masters. I saw Ravi Shankar before he passed away and his daughter Anushka played with him. Indian music has always fascinated me. John is the only fusion player that can play this style. He is very unique slong with all these musicians. A rare perfection in these styles. Bravo!
Radhekrishna, music has no religion. hindu muslim christian unity concert. The music alone can unite us. see the unity of joy and tremendous effort to play like this. AMAZING! truely no words. but we miss you srinivas very much to see such a wonderful vedios. A HUMBLE SALUTE TO ALL THE MUSICIANS. SRINIVAS WE LOVE YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE! IT IS EASY FOR THE GROUP TO PLAY LIKE THIS BUT DIFFICULT FOR US TO DIGEST. WONDERFUL!
Music is NAAD BRAHMA, sound of God,no mood is difficult to be lifted up,its healing,its energising,its magnificent,the magical fingers on Tabla,Mandolin,Guitar ,Ghatam and the vocal make listening a pleasure,sublime music ,music is the only language which forebodes any barrier,without borders,without differentiation,a language even the deaf will relate to,let us enjoy without creating a divide,unite and enjoy
I've watched this video a dozen times or more and I NEVER get tired of it. Two of my heroes: John McLaughlin and Zakir Hussein. As a percussionist for about 45 years, I am fascinated...
THIS CONCERT SIMPLY STAGGERING THE LEVEL OF JOY THAT IS SIMPLY VISIBLE THAT GIFT OF SHARING JOY AND UNDERSTANDING.....THE SOUND THE ALL SPIRITS ARE UNITED.... IT'S..BEING ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL..... WORTH LIFE ITSELF
It is at moments like this that I find technology a blessing. That I can sit at home and find this extraordinary music. And then play it through my quality sound system. God Bless ! TH-cam for being here and ktroxie for posting this. The later two songs are simply transcendent. Srinivas's playing is extraordinary and JM's licks are among his most delicious. His solo on Sakhi makes his syn guitar an instrument of holiness. We are fortunate beings who find this.
What amazing music, what talent. A whole different world combining the ancient and the cutting edge of music from different cultures. Thanks to John McLaughlin for opening my eyes (and ears) to those wonders.
what a wonderful combination, never before .It is so faaaaantaaastic.I deeply regret the sad demise of legend U.Srinivas.But he will live forever with his mandoline in everybody's heart of hearts.May his soul rest in Mandoline.
Saw this line up at London's Royal Festival Hall November 2013. By light years the most amazing performance I have witnessed by any musicians. RIP Srinivas.
Eines meiner absoluten Lieblingskonzerte!!!! ich werde nie müde es immer-und immer wieder zu hören! Nebst den grandiosen Gitarrensolos...die warme, klare und so herrliche Stimme von Shankar MAHADEVAN .....wow!!!!!! Thanx for posting!
Thank you for playing such a beautiful musical blessings for us. Hope Indian people understand the meaning of true music, godbless todays music.. thank u, coz of you all today Indian music is still alive
The mighty fine and wonderful Johnny Mac doing what he does best,simply making music that is always light years ahead and beyond what anyone else can even dream of. I mean this man has turned music around a number of times,and no matter which direction he chooses to go he always comes up with another plateau for us mortals to dream about.I think the song Chuck Berry made all those years ago was a proclamation of what was to come,Johnny B.Goode,or Johnny go go go.The master of masters.
Awesome! I saw the original Shakti band at a university gig in the 1970s. They were terrific then and they still are. A truly great upload-thanks a lot!
This is 'Remember Shakti'. I saw this band at the Royal Festival Hall London last November and they were without doubt the finest band I have ever heard or seen. You have to experience this live to get the full impact. They are beyond the ability to play an instrument to the point where they are playing music. Look at the way they are communicating with each other.
At the end of this concert I was literally reduced to tears as the beauty of the music and the joy of the musicians performing it exuded through time and space. Thanks for sharing your soul and spirit ... and this recording. Waiting to find this on CD too.
I love Shakti. Incredible music and performance, sheer creativity and the power that shows how music can transcend and fuse so beautifully in terms of culture are only side issues which are overshadowed by the beauty and majesty of this great spirit of music, which "speaks the unspeakable" and allows you to be transparent to the transcendent.
Wowwww magnifique ensemble de musiciens talentueux et le chanteur a une voix d'une pureté et d'une puissance incroyables et en matière de musique je suis fan des mariages atypiques félicitations à vous tous
While viewing tabla lessons, I came across Zakir Hussain's clips, including this achingly beautiful concert with John McLaughlin's band, my favorite guitarist. This is a tearfully beautiful concert...
Very beautiful music. Just heard that young Srinivas died. How sad. He was one of the great musicians of our ages. Right up there with Clapton, Coltrane, and Hendrix. At least for us Westerners, there are three really great Indian music geniuses: Shankar then Zakir H. then Srininvas. His music touched souls around the world. He still touches mine.
You guys are playing now in Brazil, I send the video there for a few good friends I have still. Beautifull and soulful music. When I listen to something of this magnitude I believe that God is manifesting itself through men.
And the 164 of you who voted thumbs down, well, there should you lead the way. On this world, it doesn't get more spiritual or more unified. That we ever hear this is only but a blessing and a gift. Selah
Amazing.... Gods of music.. What a musician he (US) was... Cant believe that he is no more. I strongly believe he might have already taken new birth to give another magic to the world. Its all assignment changes. His soul will be in peace, but he will never take rest, will be busy in new music world.
Goddamn. John Mclaughlin is so fucking special. There is not a soul out there that could pull off this group of people co-operating to play weird transcultural music that they all believe in. The mutual respect is amazing. You can see he's fully into it and so is everyone in the band. The cohesion is amazing. Anytime anyone tells you the world divides down racial lines punch them in the face (EDit: OK don't. Just admonish them. Maybe that's enough.) and then show them this. We truly are One people. I just lose it watching John. He's the real deal spiritual musician. Luv and Peace.
Shakti is reuniting (sadly, without Shankar; but there is a supreme violinist playing) in 2023! For concerts, first In India 🇮🇳, then Europe 🇪🇺 and America 🇺🇸 1973--2023 Shakti: creative, ecstatic, blissful energy ✨️ 🕉 gratitude 🙏 beloved 💖 ones
une musique !!!! oui UNE MUSIQUE !!!!!!!!! une ambiance non dénuée de qualités pas de superlatif c'est beau et joli à écouter pas de bluff........... que du réel spontané ............ musicalement ...........
Supreme, spiritual music. Deeply fulfilling and expanding, of love and consciousness. Intellectual, emotional, spiritual ✨ all at once. Supreme musicians, giving the earth 🌎 and it's inhabitants, healing; understanding; realization; enlightenment. This is the creative, ecstatic and blissful energy of the universe manifesting before our very eyes.......shiva-shakti Entering our hearts and minds. Changed forever. Gratitude 🙏 beloved 💖 ones
Once Again I enjoy a concert I wish I could go to 'Love'. Listening to this is an amazing experience of grandeur. Thanks to my Angel Warrior that sends these Gems my way. Today I was in need of a refreshing of my spirit and I now am full and running over with joyfulness. :-) The vocal lyrics and vocal sounds, instruments all splendidly melding together to create this magnificent sound that reaches to my heart strings. :-)
Sie sitzen da gemütlich und spielen einfach so vor sich hin als wäre nichts gewesen. They sit there comfortably and play just as if nothing had happened.
Intoxicating; spellbinding; intriguing; suspenseful; fascinating; amazing; incredible; awesome and a few words that still can never be adequately descriptive for the emotional journey that makes time stand still: "Neti Neti"- Srinivas will never be forgotten- so much "love, devotion and surrender"!
Music has no religion, no racism, no bias, no country: it is soul itself
Absolutely!❤
Wonderfully put!
🕉 ✨️ 💖
If all in the world were musicians, maybe there would be no war?
Forever in my mind is this band (sans singer) playing at Harvard U. in 2001.I went with a friend who would be dead in months from Brain Cancer-he knew it, and came to the show anyway (his idea!)

thank you for posting even if I read it 7 years later , very moving testimony ♥

Damn I was at school there at the time and am bummed I missed it! Saw John Scofield but would have loved to have seen this John!
had this happen in´s cool. have had xps. doubt its ´´the final´´ bözz ^^ ?
Very heartfelt words, thanks for sharing with us
This concert is a hallmark of human achievement ……….ten years later I keep coming back to it
U Srinivas had such an amazing talent; such a unique take on mandolin playing. I am always blown away by what he played. I'm sad I never got to see him live, but thankful that he existed and was recorded.
Year now: 2023. Can't get tired of listening and sppreciating this wonderful concert.
I keep coming back and back and back again to watch and listen to this music! It is just totally amazing!!!
So sad to note that U Srinivas on the mandolin passed away yesterday in Chennai, India. RIP Srinivas, you will will sorely missed but never forgotten.
Hi didn't look that old
What a beautiful musician Shrinivas was. Sublime.
He was a wonderful musician. His playing on the ‘Floating Point’ album is outstanding. He is in Shiva’s arms now. R.I.P.
With a blink of Shiva's eye Srinivas came forth, gave us pure manifestation of sound, music to our ears, and was gone. But we still have the material recordings to supplement the akashic trails. !Om Shanti Om!
I did not know ..Sad...
If there's one emotion for Shakti and Remember Shakti, it is Joy. The musicians are so happy and enjoy creating it lights up our days.
Thanks! I have written the beginning of each piece as I was listening:
0:00 Caruna
15:55 Introduction of musicians
19:00 Manopa
29:00 Sahki
41:22 Giriras Sudha
legend!
Somewhere around the 3:00 mark, Caruna transitions into another song, 5 Peace Band. 5 Peace Band usually lasts 10 or 11 minutes or so.
Thank you!
Sakhi🥹🩷
Es gibt für mich kein interessanters Instrument als die Tabla und das Spiel dieses herrlichen Instrumentes zu erlernen sowie zu beherrschen. Wow
This has to be one of the greatest live performances ever!
These musicians are all masters. I saw Ravi Shankar before he passed away and his daughter Anushka played with him. Indian music has always fascinated me. John is the only fusion player that can play this style. He is very unique slong with all these musicians. A rare perfection in these styles. Bravo!
Start at 27:15, and just wait for John's utter amazement and shocked head-shake at 27:40, reacting to U Srinivas's stunning virtuosity. Priceless.
Radhekrishna, music has no religion. hindu muslim christian unity concert. The music alone can unite us. see the unity of joy and tremendous effort to play like this. AMAZING! truely no words. but we miss you srinivas very much to see such a wonderful vedios. A HUMBLE SALUTE TO ALL THE MUSICIANS. SRINIVAS WE LOVE YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE!

The joy of the musicians is wonderful. JM is the best musician of all time.
It will be a dream come true to see these legend live at concerts. I have always wanted to visit India for Music, food and classical dance.
what a wonderful combination, never before .It is so faaaaantaaastic.I deeply regret the sad demise of legend U.Srinivas.But he will live forever with his mandoline in everybody's heart of hearts.May his soul rest in Mandoline.
What a terrible loss to lose u Srinivas at only 45 yr old. The joy with which he payed shines through.
Saw this line up at London's Royal Festival Hall November 2013. By light years the most amazing performance I have witnessed by any musicians. RIP Srinivas.
すばらしい空間と揺らぎと調和です。どんなに疲れて帰宅しても、特にＳＡＫＨＩなど聴くと、心身共に魂から癒されますね。激しいストロークも酔う程に、マッサージされてるみたいに解されていきますね。
Eines meiner absoluten Lieblingskonzerte!!!! ich werde nie müde es immer-und immer wieder zu hören! Nebst den grandiosen Gitarrensolos...die warme, klare und so herrliche Stimme von Shankar MAHADEVAN .....wow!!!!!! Thanx for posting!
Thank you for playing such a beautiful musical blessings for us.

The eyes of the musicians say it all. Hussain and Selvaganesh communicate amazingly during percussion breaks and the ebbs.
John, forever in a state of grace, its nice to hear these great musicians.
Definitely among the greatest live performances in the world !!
To you who originally uploaded this, Blessings & Thanks!
THE SECOND PIECE ABSOLUTELY IN ANOTHER REALM ....JOHN THAT SOUND THAT MEETING OF THEIR SPIRITS.... SIMPLY BLISSFUL
Awesome! I saw the original Shakti band at a university gig in the 1970s. They were terrific then and they still are. A truly great upload-thanks a lot!
Saw them in Berkeley university 1974. Fantastic!
This is 'Remember Shakti'. I saw this band at the Royal Festival Hall London last November and they were without doubt the finest band I have ever heard or seen. You have to experience this live to get the full impact. They are beyond the ability to play an instrument to the point where they are playing music.

Listen to that singer. He is amazing. All of them are amazing.
Peter Saunders yeah. He's Shankar Mahadevan 🙏🏽
OMG....some of the best in Indian classical music (both Carnatic and Hindustani) with Western.. This is it!!
The last 10 seconds was sheer magic! The applause will never end. Mandolin Srinivas!!!
Hey Sri just watched the video and filled with tears. Thanks for sharing.
Indeed Sai.... Check out some of the other gems of the maestro that I have shared.. He was colossal talent!
I am just amazed how Shankar Mahadevan age was how different he used toh look😮
This guys play Dream Theater for warm up! So much felling and technic together! Awesome!!!
i was there in 2004...my best souvenir of concert !!!! wonderful!!!!
At the end of this concert I was literally reduced to tears as the beauty of the music and the joy of the musicians performing it exuded through time and space. Thanks for sharing your soul and spirit ... and this recording. Waiting to find this on CD too.
It's 2021 and I'm still listening to this masterpiece ♥️

Phenomenal stuff - I think Srinivas on mandolin is the sweet icing on the cake.
Absolutely superlative... a performance that is spellbinding!!!
fantastic music but more is to the joy of these musicians enjoying themselves while delivering this masterpiece.. pure joy indeed
While viewing tabla lessons, I came across Zakir Hussain's clips, including this achingly beautiful concert with John McLaughlin's band, my favorite guitarist. This is a tearfully beautiful concert...
This is Magic beyond words. Love and respect from #Pakistan

Magical...out of the World...and playing the TABLA with one hand....incredible Zakeer Sir...legendary....maestros together...hats off....
Much respect to Mr McLauglhin and all on stage (Y)
Saw him live in Norfolk VA 1977 totally enchanted . His guitar was made in heaven he just strums is without thought. Totally spiritual
it gets better every time i listen...i have listened to this 20 times!!!
It's such a joy to listen to the wonderful music these magnificent musicians create, out of this world.
And the 164 of you who voted thumbs down, well, there should you lead the way. On this world, it doesn't get more spiritual or more unified. That we ever hear this is only but a blessing and a gift. Selah
I am so lucky can hear the music today. 2019

one the best composed . hats of all greatest for ever legend mastro and musicians. hats off all time greatest and legend mandolin sriniwas.
There's so many things about JM performing with Indian musicians but I just love the mutual respect and love you see between all of them.
One of the most powerful and highest demonstration of music energy
Great music; once we had the opportunity to listen them at the Central Park Khargarh, Navi Mumbai (New Bombay) India a couple of years ago.
Angels music it's an expression we say in my country when the music is too good💕🇬🇷
Damn those vocals and altered chords at the beginning give me goosebumps everytime
Supreme, spiritual music.
Deeply fulfilling and expanding, of love and consciousness.
Intellectual, emotional, spiritual ✨ all at once.
Supreme musicians, giving the earth 🌎 and it's inhabitants, healing; understanding; realization; enlightenment.
This is the creative, ecstatic and blissful energy of the universe manifesting before our very eyes.......shiva-shakti
Entering our hearts and minds.
Changed forever.

Incredible..beautiful. U. Srinivas will be deeply missed.
That voice, wow, was like another language, one may not understand the exact words but the feeling, the passion comes thru...Thanks! :)
he is Shankar mahadevan one of the versatile singer from India
Comment ne pas aimer un moment musical de cette ampleur , un des rares moments que l'on peut vivre durant une vie ....
mandolin Srini is such a beauty! That Hamsadhwani interlude he plays in Sakhi is so incredible!
I had the honor of seeing he original Shakti in concert in the late '70s. I'll NEVER forget that concert. Still one of the best of my life.
Never underestimate the power and beauty of the human will
Sie sitzen da gemütlich und spielen einfach so vor sich hin als wäre nichts gewesen.
They sit there comfortably and play just as if nothing had happened.
50 minutes of happiness ! Thank you!
It proves that the soul of the music is same anywhere in the world ! Thanks a lot
Soul of the music is ..it should be very pleasing to ears and bring happyness around..
Love and respect to "The 5 Peace band".
Intoxicating; spellbinding; intriguing; suspenseful; fascinating; amazing; incredible; awesome and a few words that still can never be adequately descriptive for the emotional journey that makes time stand still: "Neti Neti"- Srinivas will never be forgotten- so much "love, devotion and surrender"!
I can watch this forever

it just seems like it ;-)

Quels beaux moments passés au festival de Vienne /france/ moments de convivialité , chaudes nuits de juillet sous et dans les étoiles . merci.
Musica dos deuses. Poderosa. Voz cativante, bandolim magistral, tudo perfeito! Um prazer ouvir esta qualidade de músicos.
John is out of The Universe!!! So is the rest of these Masters! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎼🎶🎵🎵🎶🎼
All are maestros....the great U. Sriniwas is no more. I've had the pleasure of seeing them ( Shakti ) live 3 times.
MERCI pour ce super conçert!!! EXCELLENTS musiciens!!!!
