Music in Pakistan is going great guns these days. With all sorts of music and bands in the limelight we have a tough competition on our hands to who is the best. Music lovers have now more reasons to go to concerts because of the great bands like Noori, Fuzon and Junoon. Jammin Karachi was a concert held recently in Karachi featuring Ep, Noori, Fuzon and Junoon. The venue tucked away in the confusing lanes of Korangi, was the P.A.F yacht club far away from the city. The stage was nicely set with all black and the weather was very nice. As with every show or concert in Karachi, the show started late and the first band to see the limelight was Ep. The band was full of energy but there live playing was not that professional as firstly, they have a lot of members in the band and secondly, they were complaining about the sound all the time. I really fail to understand that when Fuzon and Junoon played on the same sound and set there was no problems. Even Noori didn''t complain about the sound. Anyway Ep did covers of rage against the machine, linkin park, limp bizkit, tool, system of a down, Sajjad Ali and few of their own songs including, Rahguzar, Hamesha, Hum ko Azmao and a few more. In the end Ep thanked Karachi but made an absurd comment about the sound on the stage, which was very wrong of them. Next up was Noori and as soon as the stepped on the stage the crowd went on fire and every one enjoyed their own songs which they played live and they were, Suno kay main houn jawan, jana tha humnay, bol, manwa ray, sohni chad mahiwal and tum hans diye. Ali Noor the vocalist / guitarist of Noori was very exited and they played really well. With the former drummer of Junoon (Gumby) playing on Noori''s side the band is well organized musically and their coordination was perfect. Following Noori was Fuzon the moment everyone was waiting for. As soon as they came up into the blazing lights of the stage, the crowd went wild. Everyone was going crazy, as Fuzon is the new music sensation in our country. They started off with Dewaaney went on to Pyaar na raha, Teray bina, Khamaj, their biggest hit Ankoun kay sagar and in the end Ankhian. The best song they did was Ankhian and the people over there and the band went wild with an amazing solo performance given by Shaleem, Sameer, Imran and Farhat. By that time the crowd at the venue was all excited and were on their feet when Ali Azmat of Junoon came up with his band. The crowd had a time of their life. They did their old songs blended with their new songs and list was, pyaar bina, khuddi, sayonee, saeein, neend ati nahi, garaj baras, maza zindagi ka, mera mahi, neeli neeli ankhain, dosti and Azadi. In between Salman added that we could all be number one and that they were really happy that bands like Fuzon are making big. On the whole the concert was a beautiful event and also because the singers were not singing on DAT (Digital Audio Tape) but there was ''Live'' music. Event like these should happen more often as I am sure that there is a lot of good music to come. |
