Electrifying performance forming lifetime of memories
by Jupiterfly on 8/14/24Angel Of The Winds Arena - EverettRating: 4 out of 5There are few artists I would always love to listen live, and Sonu Nigam is one of them. Such a talented artist, blessed by Maa Saraswati! I was in awe to see he sang continuously for 2 hours. He also smartly sang slow and fast songs alternatively that kept the audience always on their feet dancing. It was an electrifying evening. His voice has such an effect on heart, mind and soul, I was transcended to a different world. When he ended the show with Abhi Mujh mein kahin, it didn't feel like 3 hours are past. Sound system was superb, probably little loud for soft songs. Lighting, background scene projections were very creatively done. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because of the delay. Show start time was 6 pm and gate open time was 5 pm. Doors didn't open till 5:40 pm. Then we weren't allowed inside the stadium till 6:30 pm. For about an hour, crowd was gathering in the hallways. There were many who came with senior citizens and they had to stand for more than an hour out. If show was to start at 7 pm, then that's what should have been posted. Folks left houses at 4:30 pm or sooner to beat the traffic and get parking to enter on time, only to be waiting for more than hour. Moreover, show was scheduled on a Sunday and if there are delays, it affects people's plans for a work week next morning. It didn't feel professional and hopefully whoever was responsible will try not to repeat such unprofessionalism in their future live shows.
