Posted in audience review, toronto on October 27, 2008 by bdclimate
It was a phenomenal show….Arnob er voice niye notun kore bolar kichhu nai…but I couldn’t take my eyes off of Andrew and not only cuz he’s a nice piece of work…he was amazing with the sax! and there were moments when I forgot to clap after a song was done cuz i was so mesmerized by the whole performance… was a little disappointed cuz he didn’t play too many of the songs that are really close to my heart like “bhalobasha tar por” but no complaints really… the crowd was amazing…it was a full-house..a sold-out show (500+ ppl) and I think the band loved the crowd response… er modhhe abar AG-related ekta chhoto vdo o shoot kora hoilo with the crowd, the organizers and the performers themselves… stay tuned for that, it should be up soon, right Fay?
lastly, Nazia was probably the biggest surprise of the night…her “Piya ki Nazaria” left me speechless…fabulous definitely a night that I won’t be forgetting anytime soon
