Best Rahat Concert in a decade
by Imran on 5/15/23NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesI’ve been to a few Rahat concerts over the years, they have been pretty good overall. This time I decided to go because of such a long break from Covid, just wanted to go out and see anybody who was coming to Chicago. I have to say I was totally blown away by the performance that Rahat and his team put up. The official start time was 8:30 PM, rahat was on stage singing at 8:45 PM. I have never experienced this type of punctuality in a desi concert before. He sang Bollywood style songs for about an hour and a half, then took a 20 minute break, and came back to sing qawallis for another hour and a half or so. The sound, the lighting, and the background affects added to the amazing vocals of Rahat, and the world class orchestra that accompanied him. Overall, I had high expectations going in, but this time rahat raised the bar even more.
