Those were the best days of my life…

From 2 o’ clock in the afternoon till 5 we’re sitting outside the gates for being in the first row of the crowd. In sometime people started gathering around. Some were talking about how he performed in pune. Some talked about how the delhi concert was cancelled. Around 5 the gates were opened, and people started forming lines in 4 columns for the security check. While checking me, he said that I couldn’t take my camera in. I was sent out of the que. I put my camera inside my bag and joined a diff line. And this security wanted to check my bag as well. He let me through despite noticing the cam inside my bag. Guess I was lucky.

As expected we two got in the first row which was around 50 yards from the stage. The DJ was playing his songs and it was really feeling great at that time when each beat coming from those sound towers entered our ears. In no time a whole crowd was there, waiting like us for the legend. 40 feet sound towers, full LED wall made it perfect for the BRYAN ADAMS LIVE IN CONCERT. It was scheduled to start at 7 but somehow got delayed and we couldn’t wait any longer. Each muscle in my legs were begging mercy, guess they were not made to stand for 5 long hours. The time between 7 and 8 was really awful, both the wait and the music. People started cursing the DJ. :P

At last we got to see him. It was Around 20:15 hours when the concert began. He came and started singing.  All of a sudden there was no more pain in our legs, it was as if we’re just complaining because he was late. After 2 songs he said,”hi!! I’m Bryan Adams” . The whole crowd went crazy with his smoky voice when he sung his all time hits, “”summer of ‘69, here i am, heaven, everything i do, let’s make a night, 18 till i die””.

 

It was about an hour when suddenly a security jumped in and tried seizing my camera. Warned me to hand him the battery or else he’s going to kick my ass out from there. While he was checking others with cameras I slipped out at the back and saved my battery while others had to give theirs. During this whole stuff I dropped my shades in the crowd and was damn lucky enough to find it after 5 mins without being crushed by someone’s feet. I came forward, back to my position after 15 mins and enjoyed the show. But there was someone even luckier than me, one fan was allowed to come up on stage and sing with Bryan Adams. At the end he asked everyone to put up their cell phones in the air, and he took a picture of that crowd. He finished off with two songs on his acoustic guitar. It was the only time I felt bad because i was running out of storage space on my card and couldn’t record it.
