Aerosmith and more...

Steven Tyler is a showman! His zest and zeal for life shows in his performance! I am not an ardent fan of Aerosmith but I grew up listening to their music. It was awesome seeing them perform live and I was just about standing 10 feet away from the showman himself! He had LICK ME tattooed (must be mehendi!) on his lower abs and yeah he wore a Pink hat :P
They opened with Taste of India…went on to Crying…Falling in Love…Dream on…Jaded... I was eagerly waiting for Crazy and Janie’s Got a Gun but the concert ended with I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing.
So, that’s somehow the good part of the show on the whole.

On the other side of this is the story of Penny Lane trying to get a glimpse of the rock star amidst thousands of fans who would kill and even fly to get closer to him as much as possible! I swear I was not standing on the ground. I was on somebody’s shoes! So after the fifth song some of us decided to call it quits and found our way at the back to breath again. It was excruciating trying to get past the grunting fans who had decided to fix themselves on to the ground for the entire part of the show.

Penny Lane: Excuse me…oops (smiles)…sorry…sorry… (smiles)...sorry…
Fragile Man: OUCH! Your Heels! (Penny Lane STARES at the Fragile man)
Penny Lane: I Am Wearing Sneakers.
(Fragile man is lost for words, Penny Lane Smirks and moves on in life.)
(Background: Snicker, snicker, hee hee, snicker…)

We go right at the end. It was still crowded but I could at least stand on my own Sneakers :)

Bangalore is an awesome place. The right amount of laziness, heat and maximum cool people. EXCEPT for the traffic. It can be quite an ordeal.

Places to shop!: Tibetan Plaza, Commercial Street and MG Road.
Places to chill: Pecos and Opus (AMAZING!).
Confession: Concert became secondary. I had more FUN otherwise :)
