It was a great concert! Krishna Das is a teacher along with poviding a great concert event. The tabla player is the best I have ever heard. I got tears in my eyes regarding his story on "How do you meditate like Jesus?".
That was the fifth time I have seen him live. I would say it was the best of the five. I felt a real passion in the presentation and a great venue. I could tell his voice was overworked by prior events, but has the evening his voice got better. The band brought a real desire to put on the best Kirtan possible. Loved the mix of artists that performed with him. They added a special dimension to the evening.
A full house sang and danced and loved every minute of this satsang in song!
Be prepared for 2.5 hours without a break--he carries the show that long no problem but the derriere sometimes has different ideas. (And visit the bathroom beforehand!) Krishna Dass was a fabulous call/response leader--his gentle but commanding energy and grace never flagged. The violinist was fabulous--a gentle graceful master of her instrument. Her solos were wonderful yet understated--supporting the overall objective of taking the audience to a 'trance' place without any hint of 'look what a fabulous musician I am' (which she is). Drummer was very good also. My wife & I's biggest challenge is that it was pretty obvious everyone else already knew all the chants. They do hand out a sheet with the words, but sometimes K.D. seemed to begin in the MIDDLE of the chant, and we struggled almost every time to figure out which chant he was doing. And what do these (Hindu?) words mean? K.D. gave a couple hints here and there, but pretty quickly my confused wife & I gave up on chanting altogether and just took in the musical energy all around us. Which was wonderful!
after listening to KD's gentle but directed teaching, laughing at his irresistable humor, and chanting for several hours, i experienced fleeting but welcome moments (repeatedly) of release from my endless mental manueverings. what more could any of us wish for? krishna das--freedom fighter (altho fighter doesn't seem quite correct). his posse rocks, too. drummer was my favorite but everyone was perfect. liberation at the wilshire ebell--how do i review that? pretty utterly beyond wonderful. bliss filled. maharaj ji must be very proud of his jewish sons.
Krishna Das is a moving and soul touching man and being able to see him again was remarkable. The intimate venue was perfect for him and his band.
The seating was way too closely spaced...and there was def enough room for them to be spread out more. also, the chairs were being stacked up before people were barely leaving...gosh, give us maybe 5 min?! other than that the security, seat sitters, and the concert itself were all very well done! thanks!
Wonderful venue and Krishna, what can I say but bliss.. This is an event you want to experience for opening your heart and opening your heart. love, love love,, it will embrace you!
Very Good indeed. Will recommend. Thoroughly enjoyed the event.
KD was his usual inspired and inspiring self. Funny and provocative stories between songs. Started with slow rhythms and built up as the evening progressed. Venue was beautiful and relaxed. There was even street parking in S.F.!!! The crowd was a little less participatory than at other KD events I've attended but seemed like some were new to KD and thought they were at a "concert" instead of a kirtan. Didn't matter. We sang, danced and praised wholeheartedly anyway. Seating didn't matter as you could get up and move around, but if you want a good seat the main floor aisle would be best.
My fourth time seeing Krishna Das was the best to date. Lots of people who wanted to be there. Lots of people participated. Lots of dancing. Breathing in and out, centered in myself, letting the words flow, being moved to dance. All of these being held and encouraged in a container of peace and being energized by a strong presence of heart.
Wow, What a wonderful spiritual moment! It is what this world needs!
It was really a wonderful night; so encouraging to be reminded of our inate propensity to touch the energy we all share when we join voices. KD has hit an easy stride; while by nature, he and his group always embody confident grace, they now seem to "simply be" on stage and imbue the space with beautiful radiant sound, that we are all encouraged to share in and cultivate. He hit us with his "Foolish Heart," reminding us of his songwriting origins midway, a midst some of his recent material, then brought the crowd to a climatic heart smile with his now standard archival "Pilgrim Heart" and "All One" anthems; really a heart warming experience. When given the opportunity to be there; in a word, go. With metta, DI
