Are you kidding me??? I was at the same show and did you see the energy levels of the crowd and performers there?? Come on.. how can you compare every concert with LA and dubai shows? They were big grand shows and supposed to be like that and ARR specially wanted to make this stream of shows just to play his recent hits and to satisy many ppl waiting for him. One cannot expect to include all the big singers in all the concerts as each artists schedules are sooo different and soo tight.. Do you expect Sankar mahadevan, udit, spb, asha bhonsle to cancel all their appointments and go for a tour for a month? All at once? I donno what problem you see there.. but the show as I see is as best as I can imagine to be. Smaller stage? what will ARR do for that?? He atleast did a show at DC.. am happy for that.. forget abut size and shape of the place. What do yu mean by ARR is just standing there... what else yu expect him to do? He composed it.. he made music sheets and made everyone play.. hes a composer.. you cannot expect him to comeout and dance vigourously. I am surprised there are ppl who are dissappointed by the show.. that too after hearing Ghanan ghanan new version too Its okay.. take it easy!
