Rising up in the air

A huge crowd had gathered at the venue and cheered the band as they presented a rocking performance.

The band played classic rock, pop, and rock ‘n’ roll at the event. The main attraction was that they performed at a height of over 10 feet on a hydraulic hoarding, which turned to be a breath-taking stage, and enticed the audience. 

The band first started off with the number Have you ever seen the rain by Credence Clearwater Revival, which was a big hit with the audience. It set the tone for the evening.

The band then played Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams. This indeed was a crowd puller as passers-by also stopped to hear the melodious number. The crowd was soon enthralled by famous
numbers by Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Eagles, Eric Clapton, Dire Straits and Bob Marley.

Then came Wish you were here and Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd which saw contemporary beats added to classical rock. This was followed by La Bamba by Los Lobos. Creating magic on the instruments was Colin on the bass, Danny on the keyboard, Sridhar on vocals, Angelo on the guitar and Avoy on drums. The band rocked the floor leaving the audience spellbound with their
performance.

The last piece was the famous number, Knocking on Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan, which left the audience asking for more. The band members also obliged to play some of the favourite numbers of the audience and dedicated the songs to their near and dear ones. Some of the famous Kannada numbers were also played on request by the audience.

Yashaswini, an engineering student who was with her friends at the event, said, “This band is simply superb and it added a new touch to the classics, which was a treat for the senses. What is interesting is that they played songs requested by the audience as well and that was wonderful indeed.’’

Anagha, a professional with a private firm, was elated to be at the venue. “This band is an exception. They swept the floor with their rocking numbers. They must be having a big fan club,’’ she said.
