Hi my name is nitin i am from palakkad(kerala).Chenai concert was myht fourth ar arhman concert which i am attending Which i am attending. First was 2003 unity of light concert held at chennain.second one was sharjah concert 2008.third one calicut jai ho concert.
if u ask me which one i like most i would say (quality wise) 2003 chennai unity of light concert reasons. 1.There were 24 singers all are seasoned(among 14 singers were national award winner)if i remeber it correctly.i think rahman was not bothered abt the cost of the show and profit making at that time. 2.excellent quality of sound(some songs they played live) 3.excellent arrangment . 4.we got to hear the songs rendered by the original singers (imagine the level of perfomance) second comes calicut concert 2008 jai ho reason 1.only one reason i was able to take pic with ar rahman & met some harcore rahmanfans like vithur farhad..etc. what lacks in jai ho ar rahman concerts. writing this based on my experience on calicut & chennai & sharjah concert) 1.POORE SONG SELECTION (RAHMAN SHOULD INCLUDE SONGS WHICH MADE HIM AR RAHAMAN EXAMPLE MUQALAMUQABLA .OOOH HUMDUM SUNIY ORE) 2.IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONCERT THE ENERGY LACKS PEOPLE ARE GET DISTRACTED FROM THE CONCERT (THEY PLAY SLOW SONGS THIS TIME PEOPLE WIL START TO LEAVE THE AUDITORIUM AT THIS POINT OF TIME) I DONT MEAN HE SHOULD NOT PERFORM ANY SLOW SONG BUT WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY THAT THERE SHOULD BE PERFECT BALANCING BETWEEN SLOW AND FAST SONGS. 3.IN MOST OF THE SONGS THE MUSCITIONS ARE MERE SPECTACTORS (ACTING AS IF THEY ARE PLAYING THE INSTRUMENTS)MINUS TRACK IS PLAYING MOST OF THE TIME..I KNOW IN ORDER TO GET THE BEST SOUND AND NEAR TO ORIGINAL KIND OF FEELING THEY HAVE TO PLAY MINUS TRACK..MY SUGGESTION IS THAT THEY CAN START WITHH LIVE PLAYING AT THE BEGINNING AND LATER TRACK CAN BE USED.MOST OF ARTISTS IN RAHMANS TROUPE ARE BEST IN INDUSTRY .ONLY THING THAT THEY HAVE TO SPEND SOME TIME ON REHERSAL TO GET THE SYNCHRONISATION OF INSTRUMENTS. 4.ANCHOR SHOULD BE THERE TO INTRODUCE SONGS.(IN 2003 SUHASININ WAS THERE) THATS ALL FROM WILL WRITE SECOND PART SOON 5.RAHMAN CAN SHARE SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABT THE SONGS LIKE INCIDENTS DURING THE CONCERT 6. 5.
