RE: [arr] Re: Chennai Jai Ho Concert - Hopeless - Analysed after a month
Vijay, is that a hint at what we might have in the future?! ;) P.S: We want to see Rahman at the Wembley stadium again! Please- I don't care if it's a hopeless concert in terms of organising. I just want to see Rahman, the Oscar winner perform for us. --- On Tue, 10/11/09, vi...@kmmusiq.com wrote: From: vi...@kmmusiq.com Subject: RE: [arr] Re: Chennai Jai Ho Concert - Hopeless - Analysed after a month To: dnshvai...@yahoo.co.in Cc: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, 10 November, 2009, 10:37 Keep your fingers crossed. .:) -original message- Subject: [arr] Re: Chennai Jai Ho Concert - Hopeless - Analysed after a month From: "DineshVaidya" Date: 10/11/2009 15:24 I agree with HARI's points. Even if Rahman is not directly involved in the event organisation, being a person on whose name the entire event is staged, he should be made aware of the feedback of the audience / fans.

To be honest, the audience / fans come to listen / see ARR and ARR alone. atleast that's what I and my family did in the Pune concert. If Rahman decides to do simple 1-2 hour impromptu unplugged sessions with chosen few artists and a simple orchestra, no fireworks, no dancing puppets and songs which he and he alone wants to perform, I think that programme will be a stupendous success and will not be a logistical nightmare for any event organiser. And who can know the true worth of GURUJI than his own disciples, the rahmaniacs ? So if Rahman starts a new trend of organising shows with local band or artists / musicians from his fan group, I would wholeheartedly support such a venture. This group has huge talent pool of musicians / singers / sound engineers / remix specialists amongst us, why do we require outsiders ?

Re: [arr] Re: Chennai Jai Ho Concert - Hopeless - Analysed after a month
Very well put up. When it come to ARR everything must be world class. Think of any other shows put up by DNA for International artists like Enrique, L.P etc. I don't know the standard of that shows, but the promotions and set up seems fine rather than Jai Ho Concerts.
