Some more things we should know about this concert that everyone is mad about. a) The 'organizer' was chosen about a week before the concert because it was not even certain if Dipak B. would be able to make it. His visa request had initially been turned down. He finally managed to get the visa, but then it was only him and his keyboardist, Jivan. The "organizer" was then chosen because only he could make something out of that chaos. while we should all appreciate the fact that Dipak was resourceful enough to make it a succesful show, we should also know that the organizers did not have enough time to prepare a show around him. b) Dipak only wanted to sing 6 songs, because he did not have his band with him, and did not have enough time to practice with the 'new' guys who volunteered. c) Initially Marriott had wanted to shut this down at 1:30pm, so the organizer had to ask some of the performers to cut down their number of songs, but later on, somehow they persuaded them to stay till 2:30 am. d) Karma was asked to stay on stage for at least 45 mins because Dipak would only be able to cover 30 mins with his songs, and the crowd was throwing cups and beer bottles at the previous bands. They were concerned that the crowd would get outta hand and Dipak would not even come on stage as a result. I know the show could have been so much better, and I agree the price of the ticket did not justify the show, but as someone who knows a lot of these "internal" things, I think it is good that we all know what happened. I am mad at myself for expecting too much out of the show, and paying 25 bucks and standing in line to get in. But I also happen to know quite a bit about what happened ( I knowsome of those guys in dallas)
