finally it is over

Yes.. it is over finally. Even with a slight glitch in the guitar and a slight confusion during the first song, I think it went pretty well. The best part of the show was (in my opinion) the Karnatic classical music in the beginning. What a performance by 4 amazingly talented people 2 on vocals and a guy on mridangam and another on violin.

Entertaining a crowd is certainly not an easy task. Countless hours of frustrating monotonous preparation goes into a 20 mins of live performance. The performance should be thrilling. It should make people happy (maybe sad in a few cases of serious drama or music), whatsoever, it should really be good enough to trigger some reaction in the brain that releases the emotion goo. Obviously lots of people can do it very well. Thats why we go to see concerts and dramas.

The most important part in all of this is ofcourse, the preparation and rehearsals. I was glad I was a part of this all. It must have certainly not been as thrilling as watching porcupine tree play live (quite far from it, very very far indeed) but it was a good effort none the less and I guess that is what counts at the end.
