There is somewhat HQ version of Rahman's concert available, it's about 1.4GB:

Couple of words about the concert, I for one think it was absolutely great - 
from what I know off, it was Rahman's best. The production values were top 
notch, comparable to some of the better international concerts and yet this was 
a free one..

What I relished most about Rahman's concerts is that it gives Rahman an 
opportunity to re-imagine some of his past and present works. Normally, I don't 
give a bit about remixes, especially for Rahman's songs, but having Rahman 
re-do his work in light of his present taste/knowledge is something I look 
forward to. Case in point Chaiyya Chaiyya, Mausam & Escape, and even 
Chanderlekha - I thought they came out fresh and memorable. Also it was great 
to see some fresh new talent, and at last a proper rap artist in Rahman's 
stable.. 

If I have one complain, it would be about the song selection and the dance-only 
routines.. I would nix the dance-only routines completely and replace  songs 
from Lagaan n' Jodha Akbhar because they don't lend themselves nicely for a 
concert - even though they are great songs..  I would have preferred more of 
Rahman's own songs like Rehna Tu, Mangta Hai Kya, Meherbaan, Fannna etc.. 
Obviously selfish, but these are sublime songs.. 

And lastly, my picks from the concert are Papu Can't dance, Yeah Hasin Wadia, 
Chanderlekha, and Humma Humma... they were all very infections..
