Yeah Pavan,, ur correct.. Hariharan messed it up so many times with his
extra Alaaps and was trying to teach Chitra during Tu Hi Re..

Thank you Pavan for sucha great hospitality and support extended. He wrote
everything but forgot to mention that Next day (after the concert) early
morning he took us to Redfort and Inda Gate.. When we were there, we kept
playing Khalbali and Paatshala repeatedly and took some ulti snaps. I should
also mention that, he is so kind and helping felLow that without him our
accomodation was nothing but Delhi footpaths. He arrnaged us accomodation
too along with the memorable company...

Thanks to Gops and Vij for all the co-operation and effort they put in make
this expirience a memory worth life time.

Thanks to Nazeef for the Tickets.. Varun for that smily and enthu
company, Ravi for the Pinching comments and Dinner Plus Sirish for being
with me all the time..

Thank you Guys and Will definately Rock next time wherever he performs in
India... Wat Say??

Shivu..

[arr] Delhi Concert - My Experience

2007-11-20 Thread $*$ PaVaN $*$
Here is my experice,its not detailed,i have been really running short of 
time..sorry if i had missed anything or if you didnt like it,as i have just 
writted it in hurry..Here it goes :
   
  
---
   
   
  Reharsals :
   
  Reharsals of the show took place a day before the concert ie: 16th 
nov.Myself,nazeef and varun reached the venue at around 4,and the excitment 
level in me was at an all time high :) ,i had never felt like this before.At 
reharsals,we were lucky upon to meet Tanvi,Blaaze,sayonara,Kailsash Kher,Keith 
peters.We also saw Chinmayee,hariharan and other performers.It was 6,and 
reharsals were yet to begin..then atlast rahman came,and he went directly to 
the stage.It was great to see reharsals,i understood how difficult it is to 
stage a concert.H Sridhar and K.J Singh were just making it perfect.
   
  A special mention abuot blaaze,in one word,he is just an amazing guy..he is 
an original peice :)
  He was so down to earth and was so fun to talk...when press guys came to him 
and asked for an interview,he  was talking to us,he made them wait and he 
continued our conversation..he was absolutly great..and he gave us something 
special,which i cant disclose :P
   
   
  During Reharsals we were very much near the stage.When the first song was 
about to be reharsed,we were at backstage..Then we heard Jodhaa Akbar song..the 
first peice was just played,we realised tht it was from JA,we ran towards the 
stage..They had a 2 huge speakers..and as i neard it..they started it..azeemon 
shan shensha...mahrabaaa...wow...it was just amazinggg...unbeleivable..as it 
proceeded,and i thought it would end with rahman singing "Jalaludin akbar" then 
i got a shocker..the drums played on..with chorus singing ...0(Rukmani 
song,Roja)...then another shocker..rahman started Verapandi Kottayile...and 
beleive me it was amazing moment coz the way rahman mixed these 3 songs was 
just superb..cant describe it in words..Then...other songs were performed,i had 
tears in my eyes when i saw rahman reharse Tere Bina..amazing...
   
  During reharsals,hariharan was messing up with Yun hi Chala song(in concert 
also he messed it to an extend),rahman had problems with chorus singing of 
Chayyian Chayyian..and it was around 11.30,rahman said that we will have a 
break now..we went to backstage,hoping to meet rahman.At 11.50pm rahman came 
down..and as he was singing a autograph,i saw him for first time.he was just 
near me..and as he heard tht we were from yahoo group,his eyes lit up and he 
said"oh is it? "..tht was amazing...he was damn busy and tired...still i cudnt 
resist asking rahman for a pic..i asked him " sir..oru photo edukulama",he was 
kind enough to say"ellapa,rombo velai eruku,approma"...i had no 
regrets...talking to him was such a great thing for meAlso it was great to 
see the respect of each and ever crew member for rahman..tht was great..
   
   
   
   
  The Concert Day : 17th November.
   
   
  The day had finally arrived.First we all started out to meet vijay and 
gops.They both had gone to rahman's hotel to arrange a meeting for us fans..but 
rahman had gone to dargah..to it didnt materialise.Then as rest of guys 
came..shiva,sirish,ravi..we all went to concert venue..Gops and vijay got a 
backstage pass,we guys moved to 1500 place.We were eagerly waiting for the show 
to start and it did a 1 hr late.Well am not going to tell about each and every 
song..the whole performance was rocking one..the best moment for me was tht 
triple combo of Jodhaa Akabar-Roja-Thiruda Thiruda..tht was amazing man.
   
  People were crazy for Athiradee..but we at 1500rs place had a rocking 
time..shouting,dancing...singing along..it was amazing..I had a lady near me 
and she is a great fan of arr.she was a north india,when they played 
chandralekha song.tht lady unaware of it..asked me ,is this song from any 
rahman's new movie..i said.."madamji this song was released before 12 yrs :P 
".The sound effects were great,the show was for me an error free...ARR was at 
his amazing interactive best,he was like a rockstar...
   
  Vijay and gops went on to stage to release pray for me brother Colouring 
books.
   
  It was one of the best moments for me..i have never enjoyed like this in my 
life before and am sure this,i wont have another day like this again in my 
life..coz it was was special..somethin special.
   
  We had a great time..jumping..and the crowd went crazy as soon as RDB title 
track was played.Everyone were dancing like somethin..i had taken loads of 
pics..with help of sirirsh cam.I took about 260 pics :P 
   
   
  We werent able to see Vande Matram coz we had to run to backstage as soon as 
possible to have any chance of meeting rahman,but we were late.Those stupid 
police guys didnt allow us..they messed it up,as soon as we went in,rahman 
moved out..Yes i was sad,but i wa
