Live in Concert is a live album by Indian classical flutist G.S. Sachdev. The recording features a performance of North Indian classical music, released under the Lyrichord label. The primary format of the release is CD, though the exact release year remains undocumented in available sources.

The album opens with Mandhu Kauns, a slow composition set in ektal, a 12-beat rhythmic cycle. The track spans 21 minutes and 20 seconds and serves as the sole documented piece from this release. Sachdev performs on the bansuri, a bamboo transverse flute central to Hindustani classical tradition. The recording captures the improvisational alat and jor sections characteristic of the genre, though specific accompanying artists or instrumentalists are not listed in the provided context.

The album’s production details, including recording location, engineers, or additional session musicians, are not specified. The track’s extended duration aligns with the conventions of live Hindustani classical performances, where raga elaboration and rhythmic development occupy substantial time.
