Finally, the day when I can do away with all my wrong doings (missing the Aerosmith concert earlier this year :p).
The last time that I was in a rock concert was similarly in december last year, the Deep Purple….you know the smoke was really on water that day :) I just hope they live upto their expectations (I have tons…. "Rhythm of love - Scorpions acoustica..live at Lisboa" play that one more time guys)
The last time Scorpions played in India was .. I don't remember …maybe these guys never played in India ever before. But whatever, I hope there is tons of crowd to cheer these guys all the way, and hope it turns out great. The only problem that the Deep Purple concert, that I talked about earlier, had was of the crowd. There were not more than 2000-2500 guys that time, and seriously that's a big issue. How can we expect these legends to play with all their energy when all they get is a mediocre 3000 rock lovers witnessing their concert. Try looking at some other bigger concerts, and it's easy to see where India just lags behind.
The surprise element this time is the inclusion of Shillong in the tour (I wonder when will Delhi be included in such tours .. alas .. only after these politicians go to someplace else, till that time delihites remain void of quality rock .. let bhangra rule !!)
Anyways, I just hope that there is a huge fan following for Scorpions in India and that people turn out in huge numbers.
And BTW, the tickets are cheaper this time around. I got one for 1000 bucks. Check out the tickets at bookmyshow.
If you are coming for the concert too, then do let me know. It's always to get together and level up with a rock fan
Cheers !
