To my surprise, there was a program yesterday (Ch 211, i think) between 6.30 and 9pm on the concert – kind of a "making of" and coverage of the concert as well. Again, I could only see the little crowd, just immediately in front of the stage. I think about 30 rows deep and 40 chairs across. No shots were shown of crowds at the far ends or higher seats. Surprising indeed since if there was a large crowd surely the cameras would have caught it.
I also felt that some of the background crowd voices were added into the video while editing. But it was still not enough. I can't imagine Vijay's voice can be heard of 10000 people were there. But on TV, his voice was clear, without much interruption or noise from the crowd.
So, looks like there was a small crowd indeed for the concert! Anyway, it was much more enjoyable to watch it on TV with all the interviews.
