Apr 21


Yesterday was the most memorable day in all the rahmaniacs lives. The “Changing notes” concert was held at the st.george grounds. The show was timed to start by 6.30 and we were there by 4 itself. Thanks to Mr.Anees(rahman community in orkut) who made it possible by giving five passes. Eight of us were there and we joined with every possible cheer for the music god.

The stage was getting its final touchups and the microphone testing was going on. By 6, the entire ground was filled with die hard rahman fans and the concert started off by 6.45. The first entry of THALAIVAR with the high pitch… “jaaghe…” made a unknown and an inexpressible feel inside the heart and we all shouted at the top of our voices for our music god.

Then the official first song of the concert was “Ellapugazhum” which had a great start following a video which symbolized people in distress and this song was like a medicine to all those who were in distress and that too being the first song, the entire audience were singing the song. Most of them were singing along for the whole concert.

For each and every song the lightings, set and the background added more flavor to the concert’s feel and enthusiasm. With all rahmaniacs besides me, and all die hard arr fans in the ground I couldn’t remember even my name at that time. For those three hours, we were lost in the music ocean of rahman.

  1. Guru

All those who were in the concert would have surely experienced the best ever evening of their life and I’m so haaappppy that I was also one among them. Those who missed it, really I don’t know what to say to them. Rahman is music, rahman is music god… This is the statement and yesterday’s concert is one among the proofs.
