The event is big and in my opinion as good as a Jai Ho concert or perhaps better given the uniqueness of it. Not everyday does one have the opportunity to hear the LPH play Rahman. It's a first and will definitely be an evening I will cherish. Just thought it would have been great if there was more transparency with such events. I encouraged friends (from non-south asian backgrounds who may not have necessarily been keen on the event otherwise) to purchase these tickets in the hope of seeing him perform that evening as the Southbank Centre website did not state clearly that he would not be conducting. Unfortunately I don't have the text from February but it may have vaguely implied that he was in some form going to perform "AR and the LPH". I could be wrong though. But the text on the website right now clearly stating the conductor etc was not on there when I bought tickets for friends and family. Just thought more clarity on huge events such as this would be useful from a reliable source such as Rahman's website. I am glad that Jai Ho concert tickets are being made available on there and I understand that all of this is part of a development process to have the website doing all the things you want it to do. This is just feedback for future events such as the one at hand. Thanks for replying, Vijay.

But only found out yesterday that I was wrong and that he'd be part of the audience instead. My humble request is that more information about events such as these should probably be advertised/announce d officially on Rahman's website a bit earlier, given that the event tickets were open about a month ago. More transparency on such events would certainly be useful, I feel. Not sure if anyone who's part of the website development team is inthis group but just wanted to put my thoughts across on this one. It would not have changed my decision on buying the ticket but I wouldn't have got as excited as I did in the hope that AR would conduct the LPH or even play an instrument. But nevertheless, I look forward to this one. I doubt they would let us record anything inside the theatre unfortunately. --- On Tue, 16/3/10, wiredbeats <wiredbe...@yahoo. co.in> wrote: From: wiredbeats <wiredbe...@yahoo. co.in> Subject: Re: [arr] Royal Festival Hall THE MUSIC OF AR RAHMAN To: arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com Date: Tuesday, 16 March, 2010, 6:51 Whoa!!!!!..man this is going to be a heavenly experience.
