Went for a concert of Sunidhi Chauhan and Shankar-Ehsan-Loy on 8th March 2013 at World Trade Center in Dubai.
Seats in Zabeel Hall in world trade centre were on a flat surface rather than slope so visuals were bad. Sound was so loud that we had to use ear plugs to save the ears from decibel assault.
1st half was Sunidhi. The performance was at best mediocre with flashes of brilliance in a couple of songs like “Sheela”. Rather... than starting slow and building up the tempo, she started with fast songs, but audience did not warm up and every one started waiting for Shankar.
2nd half was Shankar-Ehsan-Loy. He started with Vishwavinayak and was a delight to ears all along. He was ably supported by Raman and Rasika as co-singers and of course Ehsan & Loy. He is a man with miraculous voice and sung for almost two hours effortlessly without halt. His breathless was breath taking and end with Senorita was very appropriate.
Shankar also lightened the mood by his witty commentary and by thinking on his feet.
Finally we left the auditorium thinking that it would have been better if the concert was only Shankar-Ehsan-Loy.
