Pune, February 5: IT was the closing act for Yamaha Roxx Express Verve 2007, and what an act it was!!!
Three days of intense competition later, it was time for everyone to let their hair down at the rock show. And boy, did they do just that. With the help of some pulsating music courtesy some amazing artistes.

But since everyone was waiting with bated breaths for the winners to be announced, there was no question of proceeding without them. Amidst thunderous applause, the Roll Call of Honour was read thus: The winners of the Verve trophy was the dynamic team from the College of Military Engineering. At second place was the BVDU College of Engineering, while the Army Institute of Technology came third.
Congratulations, celebrations, and the evening was all set to swing...
And Aquaflow, the rockers from Mumbai sure did not disappoint, with its awesome repertoire. From western to pop and rock, Bryan Adams to Eric Clapton, they had the 6000-strong audience in their grip.Elaborating on their choice of music, band member Rohan Sequeira said, "We concentrated more on English tracks and left Hindi for the other artistes so that the audience got to enjoy an all round performance."
From head banging to rip-roaring laughter, the transition was swift and seamless. Up next was the funny man from The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, Sanjay Keni. His flawless comic timing and wicked take-off on Bollywood stars did not miss a beat.
After the cacophony, it was time for melody again. And the Sa Re Ga Ma girl, Shruti Pathak put up a splendid show. From the seductive Kaisi Paheli to the searing Sajna Ve, she upped the tempo with the electric Crazy Kiya Re and Aaj Ki Raat.
Next in line were the Indian Idol finalists. Taking off on a fast note, Ameya Date had 'em swaying to Channa Ve, Bijuria, Khaike Paan, Ya Ali and Aashiq Banaye. With Date doing such a swell job, Jyotsna wasn't to be left far behind either. Be it the hip-swinging Kajra Re or the dhansoo Beedi jalaile, Jytosna was a class act, without a shadow of doubt.
The stage was afire already, but there was more thunder to come.
A fitting grand finale to the evening was rendered by none other than the versatile Abbey. The very announcement of his name brought a roar of anticipation from the crowd. And the Khallas guy proved he was worth every bit the wait. From Aye Sanam to Fidaa to Khallas, he proved there was no such thing as too much of a good thing.
