Harris on the Edge

"Harris on the Edge" live concert happened at Dubai Festival City yesterday night (4th February 2012) and I watched the electrifying show. The concert was for exactly 2 1/2 hours and as usual the show started late at 8.10 p.m. though the start time announced was 7 p.m. It was a very chill and windy evening and the audience enjoyed the show with lot of people dancing for the beats of Harris.

The show was originally scheduled for 3rd February 2012 and for some reason got postponed to 4th February 2012. Harris announced that 3rd February is a very auspicious date for him as his first film as Music Director "Minnalae" released on 3rd February 2001. He is a very shy person and speaks very little. He enjoys his music and jumps in joy during every song. His style, music, talk and walk has a lot of resemblance with A.R.Rahman.


The stage setting and the arrangements were very good. They also had a 3D visual for the song "Rendaka Rendaka" which was very enjoyable. True to the title of the concert Harris Jayaraj kept the audience at the edge of the seats throughtout the concert. It was non-stop music for 150 minutes packed with 24 top compositions of this young Music Director. The orchestra on the stage was very good though the number of instrumentalists were less than the number of singers.

The following is the list of songs played at the Concert:
