There was continuous entertainment. If you blinked your eyes, you would miss something happening on a different part of the stage. The costumes, lighting and the props added a wonderful experience of the familiar songs. the artistes were very vibrant and a lot of energy.

This was amazing and he has learnt so much from Andrew Lloyd Webber about stage shows. It was eastern yet western and the accoustics were excellent in the O2 venue. I am so glad i paid top price tickets for this show and was sitting close to Danny Boyle the director of Slumdog Millionaire. Use of English dancers instead of typical bollywood style dancers was dramatic and they really looked good and could do rap moves and body popping through to flamenco,.

I was expecting the show to be a feast for my ears which it most certainly was but I was amazed at how well the whole event was choreographed and a lot to see on top of gliding through Rahman's classics one after the other.
The event can be categorised as "world class" as it was pitch perfect in the choreography the song selection, the vocalists the graphics the dancers the people on the instruments and ofcourse to top it all off Rahman the LEGEND !!

The show was briliiant. I have watched other live AR Rahman shows in the past and this was by far the best. In addition to the music, the dance and sets were amazing. ARR delivered the kind of music expected from him and his team. Would have like to see some more known popular singers though (except Hariharan, ARR and Blazee I could hardly recognize others.
I also wish the show started on time. We were told that the show will start at 7.30 pm but it actually did only at 8.20 pm. Some one as highly regarded as AR Rahman better start respecting other people's time as well. The VIP lounge filled up between 8 and 8.05 pm which means this was well planned. Why make other people wait?

The show was great! Very entertaining from start to end with foot tapping popular numbers and other equally enjoyable ones. Rahman is as every bit as good if not more at his music. The show was a perfect platform to showcase his amazing musical versatility. The accompanying singers were excellent. The only negative aspect was that the show did not start on time.

the concert in general was good but my expectations were very high i suppose. The sound quality at the O2 was very very poor...we could hardly hear anything and the tv screens could have been bigger as it wasn't clear from level 4. However, we had a good time when we forcefully changed our seats to the lower level. Cheers ARR!!!

Of course, the following review is greatly influenced by the second row seats myself and my girlfriend had, when the artistes performed on the semi-circular walkway that extended from the stage we were within 4-5 feet of A.R. Rahman and colleagues.
The show was rich and diverse, spanning almost each realm of Indian music (there are many !) that Rahman has explored and beautified over the years. From recent dance/pop film tracks to the traditional regality of Hindustani classical to the deep-spirited passion of sufi music. The most magical moments for me were: when Rahman saab appeared a few feet in front of us on the extended stage to sing Dil Se, when he sang the Luka Chhupi duet with a pre-recorded Lata Mangeshkar, and of course Khwaja Mere Khwaja which is a song that transcends all religions with its spirituality. The single most magical experience for me has to be the solo flutist playing the Bombay theme tune, I wish that could have lasted longer. Urvashi Urvashi got me so excited, but Rahman only sang one verse ! A R Rahman is a musical genius everybody knows that, but few know how versatile he is as a live performer, and this show sheds some light on that: from singing, to playing classical/qawwali harmonium, to jazz piano, to witness such talent is truly wonderful.
The show was highly choreographed and the dance features were amazing. A boy of about 9 or 10 years of age intermittently delivered spell-bounding individual performances. In some songs however the choreography had the capacity to distract almost totally from the singing (e.g. in the sitar-electric guitar jugalbandi), which is good for the performance but not for the music, and unfortunately I must feel the latter is more important.
The only disadvantage of this close proximity with the artistes is that one was quite capable of striking at a couple of them, e.g. 'Blaaze', whose true musical contribution to such a high-calibre show is highly questionable and who only got more irritating with each opening of his mouth. In this regard I think A R Rahman, the great experimentor, has a remarkable sense of humour and liberality.
I also thought that, while the female singers were brilliantly talented singers and performers, Barso Re Megha Megha by Shreya Ghosal is a song whose live performance demands exceptional technical ability, which I do not believe was achieved.
Hariharan was the best-known singer, apart from Rahman himself, and Hariharan's semi-classical renditions were superb. If Sonu Nigam could have been present as well, singing songs like Saathiya and Satrangi Re, this show would have been the best show EVER ! But it any case, it was the best live musical show I personally have ever seen.

The concept was very good, the moving stage was briliiant but the song selection was poor. Mr.Rahman looked very very tired. Hariharan was not in the last act. It is not a good idea to do three concerts in three days.

The show was great but the seats in the arena were very uncomfortable.
The show started 45 minutes late. There shoud have been an announcement to inform the public. We were fed up watching and listening to the LEBARA advertisement
