For those who are unaware of this name, it’s a band which has infused elements of Pop, Rock, House and Electronic to usher hip hop into a new era and take it to the wider masses. The band consists of Will-i-am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie and has already won 3 Grammies in 4 years of their existence as a professional venture.
The gates are thrown open at 6:30 pm, a good one hour late from the destined time and people start pouring in from all directions. The stage is set and the crowd is getting eager to get face to face with something they have been watching and following on television for this long. The author finds himself a location merely 5-6 feet away from the stage, thanks to his early bird antics. One hour more and the crowd is already on its toes, shouting, a bit of cursing and the stage suddenly shimmers under the blemishes of white light. The deep tone of bass boomed marked the arrival of BEP.
It all started with Hey Mama and moved on to Don't phunk with my heart, My Humps, Pump it, Don't lie and the very melodious Where is the love interlaced with the solo performances by Will-i-am (I got it from my mama, sizzling track and snuggest of random rap) and Fergie (London Bridge, Fergilicious and the very famous Big girls don't cry). Apl.de.ap went back to his Philippine roots with Bebot which was duly appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed by the crowd. Taboo and Apl.de.ap displayed their bboying prowess and revved up the tempo.
A brief stint by rain couldn't act as spoilsport as the ticket amount was too much to be wasted because of a drizzle, kidding. The deadly combination of great music, electrifying lighting and a hot-bod Fergie was enough to keep the crowd hold to their ground. One last announcement, BEP will continue to make music and produce albums irrespective of the solo careers of the band members.

The party continued till the wee hours but the meaning of wee hours is a bit different in Bangalore.

Damn it Gonecase, you stole the moment from me..I was gonna write about it:-( Amazing amazing concert, one of the best I've ever seen! And yes, very nicely written:-) The last line is so hehehe:D
Well, you still can, there is enough masala left to compose a few more writes. Moreover, it would be nice to visit the concert once again through your words. Concert was sizzler and am glad that you liked it, the concert as well as the post :D
The last line is funny to read but not so funny when you are at the receiving end :|
I don't understand why aren't the organizers not in tuch with me.. they should know my flying schedule and make sure that i be there for these shows ;)
gonecase and neha, plz make sure that next time it happens, take my schedule into considerations. .he he :D

btw,thanks to the mob phones and the technological advancements :)

bt, again y m i bloody missing out on all this.. :(
now really getting irritated..
Man. BEP is damn koool..
lucky ya...
Rohit-Haha, sure RJ, will tell organizers to call you as well.
Standbymind-Yep,they are great entertainment :D
Tell me about it..Taboo went on and on and on about how there was an "1130 stop everything" problem in Bangalore, and that he wanted to party all night long..then why the fuck did they stop doing their thing at half past 10???Grrrrrr
Yeah ! I say, we gonna party whole night, my a**.But wo bechara bhi kya kare, double trouble for them. First, the great bangalorean party rule and second, they ran out of songs, simple and flat !!
Why say something when you don't mean it then??I was getting my hopes up that we might go on till 11 at least..am sure noone believed him when he said that the show ain't gonna stop at 1130..but still we all cheered him (including you and I!) when he made that statement.LOL
Once I went to this power showdown by Wipro where they booked the whole Kanteerva stadium for a day and the whole Wipro staff from all over the India was there with biggies like Kapil Dev, Harsha Bhogle, Sonu Nigam, Mandira Bedi and Azim Premji himself.Ofcourse Banagalore police commissioner and more lallu-panjus were also there. As soon as clock hit 11:30, police came and closed the whole funtion in the middle of everything, no body could do anything. To fir ye Taboo kis chooze ka naam hai ?? Bangalore rules rules !!!
Yeah I know no one can do anything..which is the sad part..but then it is really pissing off when people make empty promises..it's like letting you sniff a chicken tikka, but not let you eat it..*dunno if that analogy made sense, maybe I'm just obsessed with chicken!*
so the moral of the story is that "11:30" shit thingo ain't gonna change.. i mean, i probably accepted it long back.. these fuking blore rules..i mean really this place is overrated..
delhi,mumbai roxxxxx...
crasiezt i suppose those "people" ur referring to..i hope they read these comments man..
Crazy-Yes it is. And about chicken analogy, it makes sense but only from your mouth M. Murgi ;-)
Rohit-Sure they do, but there is no point cribbing about it, have fun till you can :-)
It pains me when you call me that Gonecase:P
Quite enigmatic :D
Yeah am the "enigma" remember??LOL

On a side-note, the post is well written, You are genius Sid bhai, you are good at everything you do, try reporting on the events officially catch up with CNN or Times Now, you rock.
As a Post Script, if for a moment he could have spared me for the first paragraph, he will not after last, will come hard after me. Choke nahi le raha mai yaar, seriously.
