Participating in a concert was always on my two-two list, but apart from the general college gigs, I never experienced the magic of live performance. I had imagined crossing my list with recent giggle of cold play in the country, but the logistics and travel cost of attending a concert in another city reduced my enthusiasm. When Ed Sheeran is bringing her xx (The Mathematics Tour) For Bangalore, there seemed to be a elbow from the universe.
An hour-to-an hour and a half hour trip by the metro was from another long wait, after which there was a security check to enter the concert space. The expected General Z was fans of all ages, including couples and families, rather than crowds.
Finding a good place for yourself is the biggest task in a concert. After some strategic joining through the sea of the people, the mission was completed. In the evening, Mali aka Maulvika Manoj closed with electrification performance. He set mood with ‘Semi Automatic Butane’, ‘Mango Showers’ and’Anniku Ritri,
Then, as the sun started setting, Ed took the stage donating his ‘Bengaluru’ T-shirt and opened his performance with ‘Castle on the Hill’. The atmosphere was immediately involved in the crowd, burnt while singing with each word.
On his first day of performing in Bengaluru, Ed shared a hearty moment, “We played in Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad, but I can already tell that it will be the best performance ever.” After the evening, Hits, ‘Shivar,’ IMA Mess’, ‘Photograph’, and ‘Happir’ were chased with hits, in which the crowd was feasting.

While some songs felt very familiar, others were to be enjoyed by songs and sometimes used to hum. What can be said, on the contrary, you do not need to know all the songs from the heart to enjoy a concert. Ed threw some tunes towards the audience, encouraging them to sing, which could all be tilted and encouraged throughout the show.
Even more incredible was when he revealed the halfway through the concert that nothing was pre-riddled-har sound was made live, was leveled in real time and after the show ended, The experience of each city was actually erased in a way in a way.
The fan was a favorite, ‘Perfect’ in which the entire audience was sung by singing songs and captured on their phone. The evening became more magical as he pulled the fan favorite from the early albums, including ‘You Need Me, I DoT Need You’ and ‘Shape of You’.
Sheeran finished the show with ‘Bad Habits’ and a heartfelt thanks, “This is Saturday night, all of you could be anywhere but you chose to be here. I am very grateful,” and we don’t agree much Can.
The concert was a part of Ed Sheeran’s six city tour in India, organized by Bookmisho Live.
