Fairuz, singing in Syria for the first time in over 20 years, brings down the house

The 73-year-old Lebanese diva (above and below), "widely considered the greatest Arab singer after the death of Umm Kalthoum in 1975," electrified the crowd in Damascus this past Monday night, January 28, 2008.

It was the first of a series of eight sold-out concerts.

Note that the video up top was posted on YouTube on Tuesday, January 29, 2008, and that it's captioned "Feiruz [sic]: Sa7 al Nom."

I haven't a clue what that means.

Under "About This Video" it says "Syria 29/01/2008."

And since my Arabic is nonexistent I haven't a clue what the announcer introducing Fairuz or the screencrossing text says.

Is the video from her Monday night return concert?

Those of us who are clueless would love to know.

If the video is not from that concert, any tips on where to find such footage so I can put it up here would be most appreciated.
