Omer Adam went up yesterday (Thursday) to perform at Zappa Live Park in Rishon Lezion. This was the first of three performances that were set as compensation performances for the fiasco that was at Yarakon Park a month ago, when Adam appeared for less than an hour. Leave that show, forget it, Omar Adam came out big.
Omer Adam in a conversation with the fans yesterday
Yesterday I stood in traffic for hours on the way to the concert, I parked at the end of the world, I lost my mind when the internet crashed, I couldn’t get the tickets – and I had a blast. Omer Adam opened what was defined as the “compensation concerts” yesterday, and gave his heart and soul to his fans.
He opened the performance with a few words from the heart: “Tonight the performance is a little different and I have to share with you, after the last performance it really wasn’t easy for me. After all the investment, all the work and really the desire to do only good, in the end it didn’t work out, not the way I wanted, not the way you wanted, everything just got a little rough I saw a lot of your reactions… (the audience screams “Omer”) I want you to know that I left this show for the first time and I felt (the audience continues to scream “Omer”) until I speak and open up, give me five more seconds, thank you. I really felt the same .
“It is important to me that you remember that behind every such reaction of yours there is a human being, your faithful servant, and we are all human beings. After I sat with myself I realized that everything should be taken positively and really everything for the better, and somewhere we should have been more together. That’s all. So it made me happy , it did me good, I will never let you down and if you are hurt or something after this show – I will put a complaint box outside. No problem… I love you. Let’s start.”
Omar just wanted to make his fans happy with all his heart. And for all the cackling, he put his hand in his pocket and it cost him a lot, in the millions
Omar really loves the audience, and the audience loves him back. True, this is a captive audience that knows the words to all the songs, sings with Omar, gets excited with him and is sometimes happy, even shocked, by the magnitude of the gesture. The compensation – this is an unprecedented matter. I have been to quite a few shows that were bad for various reasons and I have never come across such a compensation.
Omar simply wanted to make his fans happy from the bottom of his heart, and for all the cackling he put his hand in his pocket and it cost him a lot, in millions. An artist who wants to stay here for a long time, made a brilliant move for the long term. The people who arrived yesterday, and will arrive tomorrow and on Sunday, will follow him to the end of the world.
“I was thinking of shutting down guest artists, just like that,” Omer laughed, and the audience laughed with him. Omer, accompanied by a lot of dancers (yes he also danced, not Noa Kirel, but he danced), and sang and sang and sang… yes, “Cockadilla” was also there (I already wrote what I think about this song). He sweated his soul out and thanked the audience after each song. from the heart
A month ago I was at Ed Sheeran’s concert in Amsterdam, everything was perfect, 65 thousand people, no traffic jams, no queues and no quarter of the soul given by Omar Adam. To all those who chose to insist on a refund – you lost.
