Very inappropriate/unprofessional presentation just finished.
What an amazing event!! Overwhelmingly Chassidish and in hindsight it was obviously geared towards the Chassidim.Aguda should've hired these guys instead.
Aguda had to cater to other groups too.
You do realize that other frum Jews exist besides Chassidim, right? As a Klal organization, Agudah has a responsibility to be geared to all Frum Jews, and I hope that you have the capacity to understand that.
These people are competent enough to run it geared towards the Aguda crowd. That's my point. Aguda hired the wrong people and the execution was therefore a disaster. I say all this as a staunch agudist.
I didn't have any issues with Agudah's program. I thought everything was beautiful. You may have been thrown off by the outdoor-in-the- freezing-cold vs. comfortable indoor event.
Did you attend the Dirshu siyum? I was at both and am comparing.
Ok. Enjoy. Just leave your agenda at home.
I was at both too. What exactly are you calling a disaster there vs success here?
Choir. Music. Sound. Production. Actually gave people a few bottles of water, a sandwich and danishes, instead of the super stingy Aguda.
The fact that this was a better concert doesn't make Agudah a disaster. Levine, Daskal Helfgott are no disasters. Of course sound is better in a smaller indoor venue.
Speaker lineup here was pretty solid, but Novominsker, R Frand, R Shmuel, R Antwerp were also no disasters. Plus the on field snippets, plus the videos which were all great hits.
Of course, but Aguda was a disaster at every level. Here everything worked like clockwork. Sound was the best ever seen. Same with Mona and the music, production etc. Aguda hired incompetent people and the planning and execution was poor.
Let's not forget, one was trying to make money, while the other was maybe trying to recoup some of it's expenditure.
Ehem eHem... sound was horrendous by the last dance set at the end. And throughout the entire event was decent at best. They didn’t nail it unfortunately. Time to hire real goyishe sound guys that do these mega concerts for a living instead of using the sound guy who’ll be tomorrow in Ateres Chaya...
