The one playing the ghattam ( pot) is a legend himself...Vikku.
Just to make them understand the greatness of man add Grammy award winner... 😇
@@Skeptic_arun haha yes..you should see the interview where he says how he found out what a grammy was.. amazing
@@ThouArtAGeek link please, if possible.
His stamina and control showing that
Vikku Vinayakram and Shakti were one of the most popular bands in my growing years. They performed occasionally in India too. I remember going to a big concert at the Talkatora stadium.
Of couse Zakir Hussain was well known and so was John MacLaughlin, but Vikku also had great following.
In fact L. Shankar may have been considered the most accomplished amongst the three Indians in the late 70s
So Mclaughlin got his guitar improvised with the additional strings below his fret to give it the depth of a sitar. So those strings are tied to a certain scale to give it more scalability
yup he calls them sympathetic strings
Thanks I was just wondering why the guitar sounded more sitar than guitar 😂
@@ThouArtAGeek it’s not that he calls them sympathetic strings. Strings that are not touched but resonate when certain frequencies are played on other strings are generally called sympathetic strings.
@@1080lights did not know that.. good to know!!
Thanks guys for the enlightenment!
The moment they started playing, only one music came to my mind, The Doordarshan intero music!😅
😁😁😁😁😁
You stole words out of my mouth. Top Comment Right here folks.
Right 😀
True😅
Same
The still perform, the band is now called Remember Shakti, with newer members like Shankar Mahadevan on vocals. I was lucky enough to attend one of the concerts in 2012. Mesmerizing time.
you lucky soul.
Nostalgia Dejavu Your appreciation and reviews were perfect Avante Garde Progressive Music is beyond definition and John Mclaughlin along with Zakir Hussain L Shanker Vinayak Ghatram as Shakti were Regulars when Jazz Yatra was a popular festival of Jazz and fusion
The violin player is actually L Shankar...He is from a long line of musicians. L Shankar is credited to be the first bridge between Indian Music and Western...
Im not sure what you ment by bridge between Indian music & western but if ur saying he's pioneer in using violin (western instrument) in Indian music then u might be wrong There used to be a very famous musicians in Karnataka Choudiyah famously known as Peteelu(violin in Kannada) Choudiyah long b4 shankar..
No ..like taking carnatic music there and starting what you call as 'fusion' (improper word i know)
Thank you
I would like to say L Shankar is the flipped guy among "Laxminarayan" trio. When three are together then another level of transcedence happens.
that was RAVI SHANKAR - not releted to L.SHANKAR
I listen to Shakti since I was 17, I am a guitarist and the first time I tried to play some of them it was impossible, but everything is practical (although it is almost impossible LOL) . In India the study of music is very different from the West, it is not only practice on the instrument but also reaching a very special state of concentration to reach such mastery. I congratulate you for the video, you reminded me of the feeling I had when I took Shakti's first album home. Greetings from Argentina!
The way ustaad Zakir Hussain looks at his nails while in the middle of a jam battle is just so op
USTAD OP..!!
Vikku also opened Zakir to the percussion style used in Southern India...Carnatic based. Actually both learnt a lot from each other!
I didn't believe this show really happened on earth,.. Never seen this type of mastery.. Just amazing, all 4 were outstanding unbelievable......
This is the first time I ever saw a reaction channel reacted to THE LEGENDARY SHAKTI this perfectly... This is why I follow this channel because you guys are so knowledgeable... specially RICK, you always amaze me with your knowledge of art...
John McLaughlin has collaborations with Ravi Shankar and recently Shankar Mahadevan (breathless).
I want to know who are those SUPER STUPID PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LIKING THIS. Come forward and say your name. You need something special..
@@protapsen1910 apparently there are 49 of them!
@@paramitanandi8137 yes all the special idiots.
This one is from "Shakti". The one with Sankar Mahadevan is "Remembering Shakti".
This is beyond any Oscar, AGT, BGT and all events compared. This was/is/will be legendary for all times to come
Absolutely True
My dad's uncle knew John Mclaughlin personally. He was a connoisseur of Carnatic Music and organized concerts for people like Mclaughlin, Mandolin Srinivas, Balamuralikrishna --> all three of these legends were personal friends of his and even played a friendly concert for a while at his son's wedding, which I attended as an 8 year old in 1997.
The Pot instrument is called Ghatam. It is used in Carnatic music .The ghatam is the same shape as an ordinary Indian domestic clay pot, it is made specifically to be played as an instrument. The tone of the pot must be good and the walls should be of even thickness to produce an even tone. The artist who played it is Viku Vinayakaram. Thanks for the reaction.
And Vidwan Vikku Vinayakram won Grammy too.... May be this will help americans to understand the greatness of the man....
Viku Vinayakaram is called the "god of the ghatam" and justly so. Interestingly his son V. Selvaganesh plays with Remember Shakti now, an amazing multi-percussionist, on the ghatam too, but with a focus on the kanjira frame drum.
This was another otherworldly experience. I was same as you guys. The level of artistry Indian classical music has, damn!? This took me to another world. 4 masters just having fun together. I don't have any words.
I'm glad you took my suggestion. Loved your reaction, just what I expected. Btw that's not an Indian Guitar, it's McLaughlin's own modification of a guitar to sound like a sitar, he called it the Gitar.
Finally you guys are watching Shakti! Listen to Lotus Feet
Yes !👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
In 2003, John Mclaughlin was ranked 49th in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". In 2010, Jeff Beck called McLaughlin "the best guitarist alive".
49Th. What the hell does Rolling Stone know? And who says they are the authority? He is top 10 on planet. Period.
You guys are so lucky to meet the legend. Where as many Indians dream of it.
I met them all, Vikku, Zakir, and John. Watched them play in New York as Remember Shakti. Later the next day, I had the distinct honor of meeting Vikku at his hotel because of a friend, who was his disciple. It was a great honor to spend an hour with him in private. I asked him about the back story of his Shakti days, how he met John, and some other details, which I cannot share here. But it was such an awesome time I had, talking to Vikku.
I was watching with sheer disbelief scratching my head..😂😂
Literally goosebump performance.
You just discovered the best fusion band the world has ever seen
You are so right...top shelf
Haven't you guys heard of 'Mahavishnu Orchestra', a jazz fusion band formed by John McLaughlin based in NYC?!! 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
John Mclaughlin has been an ardent student of Carnatic music
Just by looking at Rick's face u can tell how much he really appreciates the music
It warmed this boomers heart to see your reaction to “Joy” by John McLaughlin & Shakti @ the (Montreux Live 1976). My cousin from Baltimore knew I liked John McLaughlin and his band, the Mahavishnu Orchestra. All my cousin knew was John McLaughlin was going to be at a collage in Balt. He came to my house in Philly, told me to get in the car, and we proceeded back to Balt. The concert was in a basketball court, with the stands pushed back and plastic sheeting on the floor to shield it from scuff marks. Every one sat on the floor. I was close to the stage if you can call it that. I seen the clay pot (Ghatam) and was thinking WTF is he gonna do with that. Then seen the Tabla set and was wondering “where is the drum set” and started to worry about what to expect. Shakti opened with “Joy”. I was like the post boomer on the right with my mouth wide open, my heart was soaring and I had tears in my eyes at what I saw and heard. All intense/good music is like sex. Tension builds up and then there is a release. “Joy” is almost all ejaculation. Check out this tune from the Mahavishnu Orchestra. “One Word”

I would like to see you guys review this tune by Frank Zappa “Inca Roads” FZ’s guitar solo at 2:05 No gimmicks, very soulful.

You should react to Remembering Shakti with Ustaad Zakir, John McLaughlin, Shankar Mahadevan, U Srinivas And Selvaganesh
Time for these guys to listen rudra veena
hell yes
The Clay pot is actually called gatham and it's played by one and only king of king Vicku vinayagam.
If zakir is God of Tabla then vinayagam is God of Gatham.
It's an popular Tamil classical instrument
Popular carnatic classical percussion instrument. You can't claim just anything as Tamil 😄
To burst your bubble even the word "mridanga" (king of carnatic percussions) is derived from Sanskrit Mrit(mud) +anga(instrument). They used to make it using mud in the ancient days before moving to jackfruit tree trunks.
There is a lot of world outside of tamilnadu
@@sandeepsmysore can anyone tell me does they reviewed bahubali 2 ya only bahubali and if not reviewed bahubali 2 then why because i can find their review on bahubali 2
Just by name u can't prove, as people know... many of ancient tamil practices have been hijacked and appropriated into other cultures...
@@KarthickSelv such a dmk child 😁 enjoy your own little world.
The thing is that I'm indian bt sad truth is most of classical videos n music of our indian culture I heard or watched for first time on your channel thanks a million to u guys
Even mahesh kale is from my state but I was totally unknown about him until I watched his video on ur channel
And Korbin's jaw just mopped the floor ... :-D
can anyone tell me does they reviewed bahubali 2 ya only bahubali and if not reviewed bahubali 2 then why because i can find their review on bahubali 2
@@souvikdey545 No they haven't reviewed Bahubali 2. That's because they did not like Bahubali 1 and hence not tempted to watch Bahubali 2.
Beatifull Shakti y todas las empresas musicales de John McLaughlin, Genio! Aqui en Argentina llenó en el año 1980 en el Luna Park que es un estadio para 10.000 personas y hace 4 años estuvo en en el Teatro Brodway y practicamente lleno con su última banda 4ta dimention.
I discovered Shakti about 10 years back. For their time they were true pioneers of East-West classical fusion. The only other one I can think of before that era is the Ravi Shankar Yehudi Menuhin collaboration. Since then the likes of Silk Road Project have done similar projects. McLaughlin and Zakir Hussein formed a reunion band of sorts with other members (including Shankar Mahadevan) Remember Shakti, which has much more recent videos. Please react to those too.
McLaughlin WAS part of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, one of the landmark Jazz Fusion bands of the 60's and 70's. :) He was the band leader. :)
All the musicians are so much dedicated to their craft. when such geniuses come together the magic will definitely happen. Carnatic music is ocean and they were communicating with each other with such ease.Its Nirvana of music
I've been listening to guitar for nearly 60 years now. So many thousands of great and impressive players of the instrument. For me, none have quite equalled the 'impressive' power of John McLaughlin. He frames every line perfectly to devastate the listener.
Regarding the guitar, it was built custom for John McLaughlin to mimic the nature of a sitar, so the extra strings you see crossing over are drone strings that ring out to a chord that is tuned to the specific raga (indian version of a scale). If I may also point out, the guitar also has scalloped (kinda scooped out) frets so it feels even closer to a sitar with the absence of the feeling of the fretboard underneath
Ustad ji without his luscious curls... I did not know it was possible.. What a video... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just watching them play is such a difficult task.🔥 My eyes, ears and soul can't even keep up with that speed and efficiency. OMGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!🔥
McLaughlin is a acclaimed Jazz player. His partnership with Shakti (along with Vinayakaram, Zakir and Shankar), Remembering Shakti, Mahavishnu Orchestra and his solo albums are a joy to listen to.
They Never Rehearse. One do not rehearse in Indian Classical Music, one practices. When the Raga becomes a language one is proficient in with one's chosen instrument, many artists can simply gather together and have a conversation in that language, because they all speak it. ONE NEVER REHEARSES...that would kill the soul of the conversation...
Those extra set of strings you see are called Sympathetic Strings. You can tune them to the notes of the Raga that you're playing in (or whatever notes of your liking). They give you a sense of 'home' whenever you're improvising. McLaughlin is one scary picker. God level precision and stamina.
Listen to Shakti the band. And McLaughlin is insane -- huge fan 🙌
He whipped his hair back and forth even before Willow was born.
These are some of the videos that remind me why I'm here, not just be part of this family but also find auch gems which I would have never seen but for the recommendations of stupid family.
John McLaughlin plays a modified J-200 Gibson acoustic guitar with seven-string set at a 45-degree angle
Even the TV in the background couldn't help but react to this.
Finally you arrived here!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
..Most insanely freaking and best fusion ever heard...this is genius...I'd never have across this gem if you guys had not reviewed it...thanks
Who needs diet plans...just watch this video every day😄
It sounded like a guitar modified to sound like a sitar.
To quote an awesome football commentator whose name i can't recall- "It's not just a dream, it's a wet dream, full of orgasmic proportions!"
Request ...Please do a video explaining the US Electoral process ..It is complicated.
L Shankar, the violinist, also did the legendary violin solos in Queen of the Damned.
I was like Phoebe, MY EYES MY EYES!!!!!!!!
I have a little knowledge of classical music, butttttt........ what is this? OMG!!!!! Insane.... What a freakin speed...!!! Mad music???
With Zakir Hussain or some of such Indian concerts were there in india since long back which speciality is not only delivering the music but each musician, they speak with other musician through their instrument in the way it match. It is like "you or me". It's like game, competition, challenge. But in the end they all travel together just like friends, lovers, companions who travel to the sane destination. 🇮🇳
John McLaughlin played most of his career in bands like Shakti & Mahavishnu Orchestra, that's why no one knows him apart from purists.
You guys are enjoying there and here in India, media is worried about US election😂 And debate on who will win Biden or Trump? 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Check his insta..
Biden always XD
Kunnakudy vaidyanathan on violin will be another visual audio treat for everybody who love indian traditional music
Why was the Kunnakudy Vaidyanathan and Kadri Gopalnath concert banned?
Too much sax and violins 😂😂😂
There are quite few videos of Zakir Hussain in his young age.
To see Vikku Vinayakam as such a young age is something. He is such a old person now that you can imagine him in his youth.
5:20 These many days I thought that was a banner with light behind.. I'm so dumb...
Bambholle laxmii reaction
Just out of this world. This is the power of indian classical music.
Even the tv behind Rick and Korbin is displaying space view telling that it's out of this world...
Utterly mind blowing. All of them. John McLaughlin is the greatest guitar player I’ve ever heard. There’s literally nothing he cannot play to the highest level imaginable. Saw Zakir in Dublin a few years back. I was dumbfounded and elated. I dig what you’re saying re great artists being under appreciated. However, John’s band, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, were very successful during the early ‘70s. Prior to that, he played on a number of Miles Davis’s albums, including Bitches Brew, which actually has a track named after him. The ultimate accolade from the master.
It should be noted that John McLaughlin used a specially modified guitar here. Apart from the resonance strings that you guys wondered about - similar as in many Indian classical instruments -, the fretboard was hollowed to allow him playing microtones common in Indian music.
Also check out the maestro L. Shankar.
lol, always fun to see people who have never heard shakti before get their brains melted.
Imagine in ancient india music master was having power to come rain by music, by many instruments which does not exist now . Its mention in purn by master singing and music climate was changing.
I guess a year ago, I requested you guys to check out Shakti.. That's a band of all the legends including all of them on this stage.. 🙄
React to 'Yun Shabnami' song from Saawariya movie.
My Ears are blessed so many LEGENDS at one place!!
lucky very lucy audiance ... super crazy stuff ... legends on podium ... and you guyz are super crazy !! liked your reactions ...
Guys. You mention at the end About what band McLaughlin was in. Check out the initial lineup of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Absolutely tremendous. Drummer - Billy Cobham is the best you’ll ever see. Check out the live show in France in 1972 - One Word about 50 minutes in.
He nailed it with his observation about the majority not appreciating true artistic quality.
Omg..that's L. Subramaniam on the violin isn't it???? He is as big as zakir down south.... another legend with the others....and vikku on Ghatam
L shankar, his brother
JM was indeed in several bands - multiple incarnations of mahavishnu orchestra for starters. You should check out ‘between nothingness and eternity’ IMO - a truly excellent live recording of the initial electric mahavishnu orchestra.
A great live recording too - lots of other good stuff, great albums with Al dimiola and paco de licia, Saturday night in San Francisco- and on and on
Guitar is a J200 with drone sympathetic strings with scalloped fret board made by Gibson for McLaughlin.
Four persons in very simple dress T shirt/simple kurta etc and doing extraordinary artistry. Just pure art. This is what attracts art lovers not big stages lighting and Shining clothes., 😇
React to bhambole song from laxmi bomb its amazing
Who else noticed the netflix recommendation page in the back 😊
Rick and Korbin enjoying intoxicating music 4 Master's of Golden fingers crossed all boundaries... Festival of light's &
US Election Results ...!!
Am I the only one who felt some part of the intro of this song as the doordarshan theme music?
React to their song : The Daffodil and the Eagle!!
holy shit that would be a great one. always a fun one to freak people out with who dont know anything about indian music.
The pot like instrument is called Ghattam by our great Vikki Vinayagam who is also a Grammy award winner with special honor
All of them are best.no words.
Plz react Wajle ki bara song from Natrang
React to the songs "Hamdard" and "Galliyan". Also react to all the songs from "Aashiqui 2" they're iconic!!
Yes , the first song of the movie is best and all other song also
They are awesome!! These guys should listen to them. They are only reacting to either old songs or completely irrelevant ones
John McLaughlin has been blowing my mind and kicking my butt for almost thirty years now. Welcome to a higher plane. 🙂
Have you seen Zakir interview at google? He talks a little about getting to know the person you collabbing with helps with how his/her performance will blend on stage. Its very clear with Zakir and Rakesh, Zakir played for Rakesh Uncle Ustad Harripersad Chaurisa, that connection grew into the magic you see now with them on stage.
Shakthi❤🔥🔥
REACT TO AKSHAYS NEW SONG
BAM BHOLLE
Yes, I had to tell myself to breathe a few times. It's amazing they are having a conversation. Beautiful music and talent.
They had such a big Music O that Lust Stories came up on the TV behind.😆
There has rarely been a group with such a blend of musicianship, spirituality and mutual understanding as this one. Listening to them is like a religious experience that brings you to tears. It's hard to believe that human beings are capable of doing this.
My journey with this music started out as being intrigued and moved to being excited, ecstatic and then just calm in the middle of the storm of a performance! Maestros at work!! ❤️
Zakir Husain is crazy..wow that looked endless
The pot is a Ghatam and "the guy" banging the Ghatam is (I don't remember his real name but he's nicknamed Vikku (is he related to the extremely talented chess prodigy "Arjun Erigaisi"? They're both from Chennai and look a little alike)) called the god of Ghatam.
The freaking "violin player" is freaking Lakhsminarayana freaking Shankar. Yes, a freaking Shankar. A freaking son of the freaking Citar legend Ravi freaking Shankar.
John McLaughlin established and played in legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra.
Before that he played with Miles Davis and perhaps something in between.
