As it was named a Brand New World tour, all the songs played in the concert must be Brand New.

Absolutely true, it was a desaster not playing rangeela, rdb, humse hai muqabla, chaiyyan caiyyan, hindustani, saathiya etc. Most of the songs performed were from slumdog millionaire & delhi 6.

Probably that's the reason why they had more melodious songs as compared to the peppy and foot-tapping scores for the show. --- On Mon, 6/1/09, Dinesh Vaidya wrote: From: Dinesh Vaidya Subject: [arr] Re: A pune-ite's concern To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, June 1, 2009, 11:06 AM I will try to reply with my perspective of the show and the "lack of enthusiasm" from the audience .. Being resident of Pune for past 25 years, my conclusion is Pune audience is different than other cities, such as, they do not make much of noise during any concert, let it be a movie / classical / light orchestra etc. They like to listen to the songs with all seriousness and appreciate the nuances and finer details of any music during the show and AFTER the song and the show is over, they like to clap and show the appreciation. a somewhat disciplined behavior. Even for our RAHMANIA shows by The Wandering Souls, we get cheers, and claps, but the audience does not get up from seat. It is somewhat the culture of this soil.

[arr] Re: A pune-ite's concern
Hi all, I do agree with Dinesh.What he said is completely true! You can not say 'There was lack of Enthusiasm' People of Pune loves to listen any concert quietly and appalaud after finishing it. Being Puneite I say It's in the soil.The admiration you can see on their faces. Continuous shouting and dancing while concert is ON ; is not a culture here. Everybody was charged in concert..Everybody was appreciating and admiring. When 'jai ho' started many people were standing on chairs and singing jai ho with AR.(including me) So there was Rahman magic in the air and people loved concert to the core! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "Dinesh Vaidya" wrote: > > I will try to reply with my perspective of the show and the "lack of > enthusiasm" from the audience.. > > Being resident of Pune for past 25 years, my conclusion is Pune audience is > different than other cities, such as, they do not make much of noise during > any concert, let it be a movie / classical / light orchestra etc. They like > to listen to the songs with all seriousness and appreciate the nuances and > finer details of any music during the show and AFTER the song and the show is > over, they like to clap and show the appreciation. a somewhat disciplined > behavior. > > Even for our RAHMANIA shows by The Wandering Souls, we get cheers, and claps, > but the audience does not get up from seat.

Re: [arr] Re: A pune-ite's concern
This was my second concert after the 2003 Unity of Light concert in Mumbai. I remember that the banter by the compere was a distinct putoff. Like you said, to each his own. The Pune concert rocked.

Re: [arr] Re: A pune-ite's concern
I would like to clarify that whatever I mailed was my friend's thought who is a Pune resident. She wanted me to convey the same to the group and hence I did. No offence.

[arr] Re: A pune-ite's concern
Partly agree to Dinesh's point about the relative seriousness with which we ingest our music, and steering clear of the "we Punekars are hard to please" clause :-): I spoke to/read comments of a few such disappointed attendees, one of whom even described the show as "lacklustre". Largely, this seemed because: * they had never heard some of the Tamil songs (esp. the Sivaji ones) before * even songs like 'jaage hai.n' were relatively obscure to them * the screens & speakers closest to the standing sections were not the best * There was a perceptible dip in buzz between songs: perhaps a good emcee was needed when the stage was being set for the next piece * Some were there to 'shack their body' (sic) :-) * Some were there mainly to (re-)listen to their favourite tracks - not really to observe the millions of small & interesting things happening on stage or to discover more of ARR's repertoire * Compared to some other concerts, there wasn't much of a stirring up of the crowd by way of banter (though why one would want this in such a show is debatable). Just a case of one's poison being another's nectar, I suppose. ~Ramanand --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "Dinesh Vaidya" wrote: > > I will try to reply with my perspective of the show and the "lack of > enthusiasm" from the audience.. > > Being resident of Pune for past 25 years, my conclusion is Pune audience is > different than other cities, such as, they do not make much of noise during > any concert, let it be a movie / classical / light orchestra etc. They like > to listen to the songs with all seriousness and appreciate the nuances and > finer details of any music during the show and AFTER the song and the show is > over, they like to clap and show the appreciation. a somewhat disciplined > behavior. > > Even for our RAHMANIA shows by The Wandering Souls, we get cheers, and claps, > but the audience does not get up from seat.

I will try to reply with my perspective of the show and the "lack of enthusiasm" from the audience.. Being resident of Pune for past 25 years, my conclusion is Pune audience is different than other cities, such as, they do not make much of noise during any concert, let it be a movie / classical / light orchestra etc. They like to listen to the songs with all seriousness and appreciate the nuances and finer details of any music during the show and AFTER the song and the show is over, they like to clap and show the appreciation. a somewhat disciplined behavior.
