A.R.Rahman is really the heart throb of today’s youngsters. I was thrilled to see the electrifying atmosphere at YMCA grounds at Nandanam that night. Though I went there at the fag end only, I really enjoyed the whole presentation viz. the stage arrangement, the powerful and clear sound systems, the lightings etc.,etc. ARR himself was singing the songs at that time. You should the the youth bubbling with enthusiasm alround. “Athiradee…..” from the famous “Sivaji”was sung, followed by “Arabic kadaloram… a superb one.Finally concluded with the ever green and inspiring Vande Mataram….. I saw Hariharan on the stage. I came to know that he sang very well. I missed the songs of Hariharan, Chinmayee, Chitra and others.

 I found Naresh Iyer in high spirits and the inimitable Blaze with his Rap in superb style.

I was quite impressed with the excellent arrangements made and the very orderly crowd. Indeed a memorable evening! My congrats to MARG for organising such a memorable programme and all ARR fans will be grateful to them for this excellent show !

I am quite happy that I have attended the live concert of M.S.Viswanathan with his full orchestra in 1968 in the World Trade Fair in the specially developed grounds then with a big Tower in the middle.That place is called Anna Nagar now! Later in the 90s ( not sure of the year) attended Ilayaraja’s live concert with full orchestra in the University Centenary Auditorium when the Dalapathy song Rakkamma kai yai thattu….  was sung even before the release of the audio as well as the film! You can imagine how thrilling it would have been !

Now  this show of ARR has shown the evolution in the sphere of Film music, orchestra, technical advancement etc. Wishing ARR more and more laurels and achivements in his musical endeavours!
