Golden Throne of the Veena: SB Shubhapantuvarali Audio

I apologize for not having the video to put here. But, just the audio music is in itself so powerful, that I venture to put just audio without a video.

SB plays a heart-melting, mind-boggling, soul-stirring ShubhaPantuvaralli. I am sure every Vainika will be forced into self-introspection and see how and where one in on the side of this steep magnificent mountain of Veena music set by one unique and sigularly creative man - SB

I first of all thank Mr. SBS Raman (SB's son) for sharing this gem with me - and, further allowing to share with with the world. I quote Mr. Raman below:
Begin Quote:

"This is from the early days SB was experimenting (as typical with him, exploring uncharted unrehearsed territory, walking a high strung tightrope with no safety net, on stage, in live concert) with playing in the "tuning-box" area with no frets to guide where a note lands.
His "andavane", "ayyo" (as the next 'logical' sequence of sangathis strikes him), "sabhash" (to himself) and chuckles sharing the enjoyment of the audience, are particularly endearing.
This clip brought back a flood of memories I wanted to share with you!"

18 seconds is all??

[GopalMeera]

I have no idea what happened to the rest - youtube has been acting very flaky recently - chopping away the time like this one

[srinivasrgvn]

It's coming only for 18 seconds! What happened?

[GopalMeera]

I am truly baffled - I don't know what happened. I will try to troubleshoot. Thanks for pointing this.

[sunilanandatheertha]

i have never come across an upload where, youtube has acted "flaky" and chopped away the time. Please upload the complete track.

[srinivasrgvn]

You still haven't fixed it, have you??

[srinivasrgvn]

Mr.Gopal,

please fix it as soon as possible.

I really want to hear the brilliant Shubhapantuvarali rendered by the great maestro. Please consider this as my deepest request.

Thank you.

Really thank you for posting this. This was really blissfull. Indeed no singer's throat could match Balachandar's hand.
