Great show.. not that many fast numbers were sung..
Most songs were in regional language. I wish it was mentioned when concert was promoted.
I have always loved AR Rahman's music since childhood and I have made it a point to follow his work throughout the years. The performance of AR was brilliant as usual during the concert. However, i wish the sound quality was better. It seemed muffled. Perhaps a bigger and grander venue for such a renowned artist would be better appreciated by his fans. His speech was inaudible mostly. I remember struggling to catch his words. Another screen to show a close up view of the stage would also do justice to the concert experience overall. I think the organizers need to look into venue and sound quality a lot closer in future.
Every thing well planned lot of parking and well organised.
I was quiet underwhelmed by the concert because I kept comparing to the last concert by AR Rhaman a few years back where he had amazing sets and dancers and a full out production. This time, it was low key, no fuss, straight out cranking out one song after another. The accompanying singers were good although I felt they should have made some effort to dress up as this is supposed to be a show. Apart from a couple of the singers, the rest just showed up in jeans and hoodie. Perhaps they lost their luggage. Their lack of effort to dress up transferred to their lack of enthusiasm to be on stage. Very low energy until the crowd got them going late in the show. What I enjoyed the most was the audience who were high energy and it looked like they were having a fantastic time. They were very vocal and constantly showed their love for AR Rhaman. Everyone else was having a blast but me. To me, it just felt like a rehearsal.
When the show start he didn't even interact with audience, even popular songs sung by him was in south Indian language which was not understand or enjoyed by audience. People was saying HINDI/HINDI but he was on his own zone. Last half an hour was really good that was all. Even on the end people was not sure weather his concert is done or not. He is great singer but not performer. We feel like cheated/robbed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AR Rahman north american concert has its own expectations. I feel he was not performing to his standards. Absolutely Not long enough. Was starting late and finished early. Should have had more mixed numbers played. There are amazing slow and fast hits he has that he left out. Not enough engagement with the crowed. Feel like he had limited musical instruments. The sound was loud but not aquitstic. Needs improvement. Limited performers and variety. Having said that the once he played were amazing experience. Not long enough
ARR is the absolute best performer you Could ask for. All genres. Completely immersive experience and delivered with incredible humility!
Very energetic!!! Simply great show, Solid is the word I wanna use!!!
