A large gathering of mostly youngsters danced to her hit numbers. The crowd went euphoric when Beyonce came on the stage, even as pyrotechnics and laser special effects enveloped her glittering white and red costume. Her famed 10-member all-woman band was accompanied by a couple of men this time.
The 15,000-plus crowds danced, jumped, sang and enjoyed to their hearts content as she belted out her evergreen number like "No, No, Bill, Bill, Bill", "Dangerously in Love" and others. The open-air venue with a 40-foot covered stage was packed almost to capacity.
Lasting two hours, the mega event was organised by Royal Challenge in partnership with DNA Networks, which had brought singer Shakira to Mumbai earlier also on March 27. The tickets for the much-publicised concert were priced at Rs. 2,750 and Rs. 1,650.
The 10-time Grammy Award winner American pop star arrived here from Ethiopia Friday night.
Beyonce, a member of Destiny's Child, released her first solo album - "Dangerously in Love in 2003" - which won her five Grammy Awards. The singer has also dabbled in Hollywood with films like "The Pink Panther" and "Dreamgirls".
