The
first
of
the
'Unforgettable'
concerts
on
Friday
night
in
Toronto
was
a
spectacular
success.
Speaking
about
the
show
from
Toronto,
the
Big
B
says,
"It's
a
very
well
packaged
show
and
the
production
was
brilliant.
The
energy
level
of
each
performance
was
simply
unbelievable.
I
am
so
happy
for
the
kids
-
Akshay
and
Preity
and
Ritesh
and
Vishal
and
Shekhar
and
Abhi
and
Ash
and
Shiamak
and
his
tireless
dancers."
"Everyone
performed
their
heart
out.
And
the
crowds
were
just
fantastic.
Sold
-out
venue.
We
had
to
open
up
the
tiers
to
accommodate
those
who
could
not
get
tickets.
Fire
marshals
and
security
had
a
tough
time
keeping
them
on
their
seats.
Not
a
moment
to
breathe,
just
one
ecstatic
moment
after
another."
The
Bachchan
family
was
given
a
green-carpet
welcome
in
Toronto.
"The
Prime
Minister
of
Canada
sent
his
Secretary
of
State
to
greet
us
and
welcome
us
to
Canada.
He
sent
me
a
wonderfully
worded,
framed
letter
through
him.
I
feel
so
honoured
and
privileged
when
India
and
Indians
get
recognition."
Enthused
by
the
next
'Unforgettable'
concert
the
Big
B
says,
"The
promoter
from
New
Jersey
came
in
to
see
the
show
and
informed
us
that
the
New
Jersey
show
is
sold
out,
weeks
in
advance
and
New
York
is
on
its
way
to
a
sell
out.
This
is
unique
for
Indian
show
responses.
Yes,
I
am
old
and
seen
and
been
there
but
the
enthusiasm
of
the
youngsters
and
the
unchanging
allegiance
of
the
fans
is
such
a
booster,
I
start
feeling
young
again,
once
on
stage.
The
Big
B
misses
Mumbai
already.
"We
will
be
away
for
a
while,
but
the
entire
family
is
together.
We
have
not
been
able
to
be
like
this
for
a
very
long
time.
I
love
being
in
this
state,
so
long
as
we
are
all
together.
The
Big
B's
missing
baggage
has
been
retrieved.
"Bags
have
been
found
and
are
with
me.
Costumes
came
separately
and
were
in
tact.
Our
first
show
last
night
(in
Toronto)
went
off
like
a
bomb.
Incredible.
Non
stop
adrenalin.
And
what
a
crowd!
Just
fantastic.
Thank
you
Toronto."
