well guys....the concert was in bangalore at palace grounds on jun2....i went there along with a few friends....the whole trip, including, airfare, concert tickets, hotel charges, etc costed 10k per head....but i can say tht it was totally worth every penny....the experience was mindblowing and it was THE best concert ive ever seen...!!
so, i reached bangalore at 12 noon....we first went to palace grounds and tried to find a cheap hotel nearby...found one abt 2kms frm the venue....it was very cheap...but it had an ac, tv, etc...and very neat and clean...so no issues...
after passing time in some malls and having lunch, we went to the venue and reached at 4pm....stood in the line, until the gates opened at 530pm...!! then ran inside and took the row closest to the stage.....again we had to wait as the setup was still goin on...
here is a pic during the setup...
we waited as the crowd kept piling in....ppl started to get impatient....some even fainted, panic attacks, etc....but we were there through all this...
finally, at 830, the show started...there was a huge projector screen behind the stage...the aerosmith logo came on it and then the indian flag...then all the band members came out and started with their first song - taste of india...!!
at first, all of us were shocked and overwhelmed tht it was actually aerosmith..!! and we were so close..!! but then slowly the reality set in and we started enjoying the show....
the good thing abt this concert was tht there was ramp out into the crowd...kinda like those fashion events...so the band members cud walk sorta into the crowd...!! tht was phenomenal...!! u cud feel the music and the action..!!
joe perry and steve tyler were the real stars of the show..!! amazing vocals and even better guitaring.!! they lived upto their name of being crazy ass rockstars..!!
ps - cams were not allowed...so all the pics are frm my 2MP cam phone....thts y quality is pretty bad..!! but it gives an idea of the fun tht we had.!!
also, there are some vids....but it is on my friend's phone....ill post them once i get them...!!
