It didn't work. KD was excellent. The level of participation he summoned from the audience was completely remarkable. That said, there was far too much blah blah. Sharon Salzberg was an irrelevant distraction. I left after two hours -- about one hour of kirtan -- with no sign of moving toward a conclusion.
I've kept my ear on almost all forms of music for many years. We have a couple of Krishna Das CD's, which are wonderful. The in-the-flesh experience was far, far better. Nothing else like it, that I know of...extraordinary voice, great man.
concert started on time, was over two hours long with no intermission and was fantastic. KD was witty and charming. The sound from one speaker was poor until the house made the needed adjustment. the kirtan chant, call and response was meditative. .
Krishna Das was amazing...his band was great...he gave a soulful performance and was really engaged. But. The Keswick is a ridiculous place. $35 to sit in a broken chair? An itchy, broken chair? The Keswick did call us that day to explain we'd be moved (which was nice). But it didn't matter, since the event was half-empty. The seats we moved to didn't work right either...and there were many broken chairs. And the event staff allowed parents with children to stand in the lobby crying and otherwise distracting the audience. Krishna Das insisted on keeping the lights up, so people could "read the hymnal" - bad choice. Very distracting to have people walking in and out constantly... The first 15 minutes were marred by screechy violin feedback... Not worth staying out late on a Monday night, paying a babysitter...
Dear Ones: I have been going to kirtan with KD for five years. Each event has something new to offer and this concert was no exception. KD's devotion to his guru comes from his heart and soul and shows through his beautiful chanting. What makes chanting "fun" is that we don't have to know what the Sanskrit means - and that allows each person to receive whatever they are meant to receive. When KD comes onstage first there is applause - then there is respectful quiet - and then the magic begins when he starts the prayer for Grace. Then he launches into evening and things just....happen. We get...happy. Simply happy. The chants help us release any stress, any pain - and just allow us to let us be Our Selves. The band was - as always - outstanding. They are very talented musicians and they bring so much depth to the chants. It was a beautiful evening.
I loved the whole experience! The chanting was so powerful. Krishna Das is a wonderful presence...he brings lightness, humor and great stories with him. And the band was also great! An unforgettable evening!!
This evening was an incredible experience. From the opening Om to the very end, the music and the energy were very moving. I am grateful to have been a part of it all.
excellent, moving, heart-filled, delightful, great
The energy in the room wasgreat! Krishna Das and the whole band were terrific.
Amazing Kirtan as usual! Loved to hear all the voices coming together. Such an amazing community of wonderful people. Only problem was that the theater was slightly warm.
Kirtin is not for everyone, but I really enjoyed his form. Krishna Das has such a beautiful voice that it helped me to get deeper into the music. His music can help bring on those few moments when you let your mind still. His band added to the experience, especially the drums.
It was a wonderful, interactive experience that helped us all create within each of us, a powerfully positive inner connection. We thoroughly enjoyed the show and all the talented artists that helped support this experience! Thank you!
I enjoyed the event and reminded myself multiple times how blessed I was to experience a beautiful evening of kirtan with one of the modern day kirtan masters. I hope Krishna Das returns to the Fitz soon! I will be there.
Krishna Das is my idol! He is amazing in his ability to reach into your heart and spirit.
Once again Krishna Das has made me float on my feet, with the love and beautiful energy that he exudes from his person. This is the 5th show I've experience, and it won't be the last.
Wow! This man has it together. It ended up being a 2 1/2 hour chanting session. The audience participated fully for the entire time. The voice response from the audience was absolutely beautiful. Talk about entranced. After each chant there was no applause, just silence. The silence showed the total respect the audience had for this man (and his band's) performance. I have never seen that before in a concert, it was amazing. (one exception was after 'Jesus On the Main Line') With all that said, this performance is not for everyone - you had to be there to understand what I mean. I do plan to attend the next time he tours the area.
fabulous! krishna das never fails to deliver. highly recommend attending one of his concerts every chance you get.
Krishna Das not up to his potential. the show lacked the full energy I experienced last time I saw him. I love his music so it was a little disappointing. perhaps it was the venue or maybe he had a cold, or the cops standing by the front or all the light in the room?
KD and crew rocked the kirtan world as usual. Supreme sound combined with Divine devotion. Hari Bol !!!
Great music, but was unable to see seating chart and did not like seats. Would have been better to have a venue where there was more room for dancing
