View of Stage, pan of crowd at Azad Maidan. Drummers in yellow t-shirts with
dhols keep beat while their fellow group members dance with cymbal in hand. This can be heard overlapping music coming from the stage. The music they make drowns the numerous other sounds emanating from the background.

... the place where we set out from yesterday, we find ourselves in the same place today, What did you say, what did we hear,

What did we get out of life, What did we get? Nothing. ... the place where we set out from yesterday, we find ourselves in the same place today, What did you say, what did we hear?

Let's think about what we've done.
