I got free tickets for Sonu Nigam's concert this past Saturday and thought the arrahmanfans group might be interested in some ARR related news from the concert.
The concert started with a cover version of Roobaroo from Rang De Basanti. The cover was performed by the accompanying musicians and not by Sonu. This version was not bad but was let down by the lead vocalist. Sonu Nigam performed two of Rahman's compositions - Saathiya from Saathiya and Satrangi Re. Both the performances were impeccable singing wise. Before starting Satrangi Re, Sonu mentioned that in spite of singing a huge number of songs in career, that this song remains a favourite. Once the song was completed, Sonu Nigam received a standing ovation from a few and chants of Sonu, Sonu from the crowd.
