Nazy jaan it may have been Emad.
by Anonymouse on Wed Dec 08, 2010 04:58 AM PSTI don't recall the exact name of the Flamingo guy leading the band and can't see youtube now, but whoever he was he did a really good job. It was truely a nice infusion of Hamed's voice into this music.
I actually exchanged some pleasantries in email with Hamed after the concert because I was really impressed with his performance and encouraged him to make more of that kind of music with Emad (if that's who he was). Not sure if he was interested though. If you see him remind him again to make that kind of music as well!

Thank you!
by Nazy Kaviani on Tue Dec 07, 2010 11:56 PM PSTThank you so much for your kind comments. The concert was absolutely fabulous and full of life.
Anahid Jan, it was a pleasure meeting your friends and your lovely sister. Let's do it again soon!
Souri Jan, I hope you are able to see the Abjeez live! You will know what I mean by "endless energy!" Heeh! Of course, you know all about endless energy yourself! Jaaye to o Majid o Jahanshah kheili khaali bood!
Jahanshah, you were missed by many and in many ways!
Nader Vanaki, Wow! You must live in some palatial digs! The Great American Music Hall has a capacity of 600! I hope you can go see the Abjeez wherever they perform. They will put a smile on your face!
Anonymouse Jan, Didn't Hamed do the Bam concert and that album with Emad Bonakdar? Emad now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well. Also, I think it was Shahrokh Moshkin Ghalam who danced with Hamed. I hope you go and see the Abjeez perform, even if it on a weeknight. You won't regret it!
Cost of Progress, I think the whirling takes practice and concentration, more than drugs. I mean I have seen the whirling dervishes of Konya in Turkey, and that's all they do in their dance--whirl! Also, have you seen Banafsheh Sayyad perform her dance?
Monda Jan, It was so cool hanging out with you that night. We must definitely do it again really soon, and take Sima, too!
Monda jaan you are in one of these pics, right?!

Cool Abjeez!
by Monda on Tue Dec 07, 2010 08:43 AM PSTI felt so energized by Seeing them on stage (Honestly GAMH does not do acoustic justice!). And I wish I had attended the party.
Thanks Nazy jan for posting this as our souvenir from this concert... as If it could be forgotten? :o)
I remember the dancer guy
by Cost-of-Progress on Tue Dec 07, 2010 06:38 AM PSTI kept wondering how he could spin like that without feeling dizzy...so, you were there? I thought I saw you...(he he, kidding). I think these people are in a trance - I call it high, Nashe'...that is. I dunno, I am not that suphisticated..... And you say he is a dick, that's not good...

Yes that was a very good concert with Hamed and the Flamingo!
by Anonymouse on Tue Dec 07, 2010 06:32 AM PSTI bought the CD and so far have 2 CDs of him and hopefully soon the 3rd one. Yes I went to the same BAM benefit concert and really liked the way he sang his songs with that Flamingo band, Shahram something. It was really awesome and my introduction to Hamed.
This other guy Shahram the dancer was also there and I like it and the way he twirled and all while Hamed was singing and the other Shahram playing the music. Then a while later we went to see the same dancer in his own performance and he sat down to answer questions from the audience, only to insult the audience instead! So I'll never go to anything he has to offer again, except if they dump him on us as part of another concert!

Hey Anonymouse
by Cost-of-Progress on Tue Dec 07, 2010 06:19 AM PSThave you heard the BAM benefit concert that Hamed and a few others had put together in Iran? I bought it at his concert in the DC area about 3 years ago (Jefferson High in Arlington). It is a great piece of work. They had it on an MP3 (!!) disc, so I had to convert it so I could listen to it everywhere.
And yes, I agree, Thursday or weekday concerts/events suck for those of us who work for a living....

How come Abjeez's date with DC area is Dec 16th, a Thursday?
by Anonymouse on Tue Dec 07, 2010 06:12 AM PSTThursday in DC area and Saturday in Atlanta? There are more Iranians in Atlanta than DC area? Hopefully on another occasion we can see the SF talents. So far we've seen Hamed Nikpay and we've liked but no Namjoo or Abjeez yet.
BTW Hamed has a new album out, good for the holidays!

Abjeez-zeh!
by Jahanshah Javid on Mon Dec 06, 2010 12:14 PM PSTThanks Nazy & Faranak. Looks like -- no, definitely -- I missed out on a great concert and party. The Abjeez are the real deal. People love them for a good reason: Great music, great fun, and great appreciation of their fans. Dameshoon garm.
Thanks dear Nazy
by Souri on Mon Dec 06, 2010 05:27 AM PSTFor this great photo essay. At least now we know what a great event we have missed :-(
It seems that you guys had a splendid time there. Abjjeez look very energetic, as you mentioned. More power to all of you....and Khasteh nabashid.
Nazy jan, thanks for the article and pictures and for everything
by Anahid Hojjati on Mon Dec 06, 2010 05:01 AM PSTNazy jan, what a night that was! Music, friends and family, food and drinks. You captured the mood in your pictures very well. It is great, you even have pictures of "Mohsen Namjoo" and "Shahrnoosh Parsipour" and other artists who were there to watch Abjeez. Between all the taking pictures and everything, you managed to make sure people had a good time. My sister and I had fun, and it was great to not only see Abjeez but also visit with Iranian.com friends.
