Vengaboys - Live In Concert: Events in Hyderabad

REVIEW FOR VENGABOYS - LIVE IN...

One thing that a high degree of international exposure teaches you is that when
at Rome you be Roman. And so this 7pm Hyderabad concert started at 9:15pm, thus
making the Vengaboys appear very Hyderabadi indeed. Only, the deal is nothing
Hyderabadi at all - you get about 40 minutes of the stuff you actually went there
for, and that with the band lip syncing to recorded music. After you paid a minimum
of 250 bucks. It's almost as if the event were intended primarily to help some
sponsors get mileage and let some others make money, and that by itself it was
just a formality to get done with. And so much for all the fuss.

Anyway, let's get to the show itself. The Vengaboys believe in two steps to concert success: 1. Keep yelling at the top of your voice "Do you like to party?" 2. Follow it up immediately, again at the top of your voice, with "Are you having fun?" The concert at Treasure Island had them put the strategy to good use. As they came in their Vengabus and unloaded themselves at the venue, the evening was stomped out of its mugginess, with them popping the aforementioned questions again and again.

We really should let this pass, but still
