A concert that gave the fans plenty in the way of music time on stage, energy, jokes and laughs and as well as tears. To say 'brilliant' is to only do it half the justice. Kher's voice, as expected, thrilled, brought joy and moved the audience, in their hearts and out of their seats too, for a good old dance! He was in full throttle from the word go! The musicians were on top form too.
For those who were familiar with him (and even more so, for the ones who may only have been acquainted with his music alone), Kher's interactive playfulness with the crowd and anecdotes of his U.K. experiences was a great treat and a privileged glimpse into his open personality. He spoke to the fans in between almost every song, endearing himself further into the hearts of the people present with his raw realness (a far cry from the pompousness acquired by artists in the same field. Mentioning no "full" names, Mr. Nigam ;-) LoL!).
Typically, the crowd was left wanting more, even after we were regaled for about two hours of musical delights. An evening that would always feel like it ended too soon because it was THAT GOOD!
It was a concert, a show, a meeting, an experience..... to savour and cherish for many years to come. Just fantastic :-D
