/> To perform live without props for three hours isn't easy.

But that's precisely what Himesh managed to do at the prestigious Heineken music hall in Amsterdam on Saturday, December 1 when he performed live before a jam-packed audience.

Himesh was the first Indian performer at Heineken which has seen the likes of Nelly Furtado and Pink Floyd perform.

"What was specially thrilling for me was the fact that the audience didn't only comprise of Indians and Pakistanis. There were Moroccons and people from all over the world at Heineken.

That to me, is a big achievement not personally but for our Indian entertainment industry which seems to be reaching out to non-Indian audiences outside India. So yes, I'd describe the Heineken concert as my best to date," said the triumphant Himesh from Amsterdam.

Remarkably, Himesh performed live for 3 hours and sang 55 of his songs with no break or breather.

Says Himesh, "It was meant to be just two hours. But it stretched to three hours. What can I say? God is being very kind. I just want to take our Hindi film music to places where it hasn't been. "
