Due to some problems Farzad couldn’t go with his band and he playbacked the songs (instead of guitar parts that he played) with video clips that had been made by his paintings, and he played on it. it was a concert with a different visual performance. Some tracks from Albums “One”, “Two” and “Three” was playing in that gig. For view some pics from that concert checkBand Photos page.
