On the 2nd of July, the great vocal-singer Alicia Keys had a concert in Istanbul, Turkey. The weather was below seasonal normals, which was a good thing I guess, so that we didn't sweat and melt.
Normally the concert was planned to be held in Beşiktaş, but what I heard from a friend of mine who works in İKSV organisations (the association which organised this concert), they had to move the concert to Park Orman because of the recent events in Gezi Park, Taksim. I didn't have a problem with it, since we could go to the concert place by subway.
It had to start at 9 p.m., Alicia kept us waiting for about an hour. The audience was a little bit pissed off, they even shouted slogan "Everywhere Taksim, everywhere resistance!" in Turkish (you have to google it if you wanna know what it means). But when she showed up, everybody was cooled down.
The stage looked exactly the same like in the photo I downloaded. The dancers, her voice, the vocals and the band, the stage shows were really awesome.. She even played the piano during some of her songs. Most of her favorite songs were played, so we were really pleased. The weather was a little bit freezing later that night, we even wondered whether she was cold or not, 'cause she was wearing really thin clothes...
Anyways, we really had fun, I think everybody would agree with me :)
