goosebumps

Well, it happened. O-hum, had their concert in Berlin. BBC Persian covered the whole thing live, Unfortunately I wasn't aware, but I listened to the whole thing later.

Eventhough Shahram's lack of experience in live performances is recognisable and it's slightly disappointing to see the amazing quality of their studio recordings lacking in the live performance, I'm still filled with a feeling of melancholy for not being there. My aquaintance with the band is by no means a factor in my endorsement of their music.

In any case, I almost got the goosebumps hearing the concert. It was almost similar to when I watched Pink Floyd's Pulse concert live, on TV. I'm not, and never have been a hardcore Pink Floyd fan, and I've always decided to keep my appreciation for their music to myself as I don't like how some people try to buy themselves credit by merely accossiating themselves with everything Pink Floyd.

In any case, even back then in '94, staying up til the early hours of the morning and watching their concert live on TV, knowing that I'm witnessing a formidable moment in music history, gave me quite a rush.

Listening to Ohum now almost reproduced that. Specially hearing their new song (oh how thirsty they keep their fans, how many years has it been since they released anything?), "Eshgh e Saaghi". I just can't wait to hear the studio version, it's brilliant, and ... brilliant.
