Carthage Concert: Incomplete Report

The Egyptian legend Amr Diab performed a legendary concert on the historical stage of Carthage, Tunisia, last night. The concert started at 2145 GMT, and thousands of fans attended long before the party got started!

Amr, who looked great in his black hair, while he was wearing a creamy blouse with cool blue jeans, decided to begin the concert all by himself. Playing the piano and singing "Ousad Einy" was a surprise to me.

After that, the songs flooded one after another. Here is the list:

Ousad Einy/Amarin, which he dedicated it to his children/We Heya Amla Eih/El-A'alim Allah/Wala Ala Balu/Kan Tayeb/A'amil Eih/Tamally Ma'ak/Ana Ayesh/Medly:Rageen, Edu El-Bab, Matkhafeesh (he played on drums), Shawwana (he played keyboard)/Khallina Neshofak (ended with Mayyal!) --Break-- Ba'ed El-Layali/Khaleek Fakerni/Rehit El-Habaib/Leily Nahary (piano)/Wahashteeni/Leily Nahary.

Here and there:

- There was a short interview with Amr in the Airport, where he signed autographs for fans and took pictures with them. He was wearing a white t-shirt with blue jeans, and carrying -as usual- his Lui Vuyton bag.

- Amr seemed to have a very good mood all the time on stage. He was happy to sing for a big audience, and the people were happy to see him singing their favourites.

- During the concert, Amr praised Rotana for what he called their "good work." Excuse me Mr. Diab; they are not good enough for you ;)

- Just before the concert ended, a Tunisian little girl held the mic and said to Amr "Welcome to Tunis." The concert lasted over tow hours.

- The fans filled the SMS ticker most of concert time. One example is Osama from ADW. Other fans also existed but never mentioned their names. You know who you are, guys!

- There was some interruptions from Wael Kefouri fans who were talking about some party next week. What kind of party is that? Birthday party? Bachelor party? What the hell are they talkin' about? The King is here, so try to enjoy him, people! ;)
