AR Concert Review Part 1

At last time to write the first part of the review.... So here goes... I am guessing I am going to make it all rather detailed... Hopefully make you all feel like you were a part of it... So lets just wait and see... Sit back and try to enjoy the show as much as I did...

The gates were open at 5... We got there around 6:30... Parking had to be pre-booked... We parked and hurried into the auditorium... There were sooo many Indians... Everyone trying to push their way in, not realising there was a turnstile almost completely free... But I guess that was good for us... We found our way in quickly... Looked at the huge surroundings... Many Indians filled up the place... Every place outside was packed... We quickly got something to eat and went to find our seat... We entered the huge auditorium... located our seat... scanned the crowds, surveyed the surroundings... finally sat down and waited with baited breath...

Sydney Superdome

It was 7... The concert was meant to begin... However it did not... We fiddled with everything we had... Including the 3D glasses, required for the concert... They hardly seemed to have any proper 3D effect... It seemed like time was going very slow... It was occupied however by seeing and talking to familiar faces, always good to catch up, without knowing... So after that we settled in our seats... It was 7:15 and on came the very lively MC for the day... Cheers all around as the program was about to begin... The announcement was made...

The screen lit up...On it there were the words,

"Thanks to the creator

for making music

the language of all languages"

I thought this was absolutely sweet and extremely relevant...

Finally the wait ended and out came the GREAT A.R Rahman! :) I was sooo happy as this had been like a dream come true... or rather something I have always looked forward to... He burst out into Phaana, form Ayuthu Ezhuthu (Yuva in hindi)... He sang it in Hindi though... But still the song was the same and it was AR so no complaints whatsoever... He sounded great, no surprises there, the whole huge auditorium was filled with his powerful voice... AMAZING to describe it in short... He was occumpanied by someone else, not sure who it was, the face was familiar, but I really don't know... I think she was a chorus girl... She also sang really well...

For now I will end it with the first song... wait for a detailed review on the rest of the concert, song after song... I wrote it all down... What a nerd you say... hmm yeah i guess so... But come on its an AR Concert and these memories should last me a lifetime... and plus I have to share them with all of you... ;)
