Strings concert in New York

So, I had been to the Strings concert in NY a couple of weeks back. The concert was in an auditorium, which didn’t really give one a “concert” feeling, and the band didn’t really play to a packed audience, but the show was pretty good nevertheless. As a spectator I felt the band lacked the ability to keep the audience captivated long enough. The additional interruptions caused by the charity organization which had invited the band didn't help as well. Impromptu announcements urging donations, coupled with a bidding game to see if they could raise money spoilt the atmosphere of a "concert" altogether. The high point of the evening however; was when the band played "Yeh hai meri kahani" from Zinda. Apart from the performance itself being great, this also happens to be a current favorite of mine, and I felt the band did an absolutely great job performing this track. I was lucky enough to capture the whole song on my digital camera, so the sound and video quality isn’t that great, but I wanted to share it regardless for those that might be interested.
