19th April, Review of David Tao’s Concert, Singapore Indoor Stadium
I am fresh.
I mean, I just got back from David Tao’s concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium and the details are fresh in my mind now so I ought to write down my thoughts about the concert before I forget about them, as usual, like I always do.
To be honest, I am fucking dead tired cos I only slept for 4 hours and this afternoon I had 2 hours of badminton and 15 minutes of a retarded public gym session with Stan, Law and B-Yau (hah!), and now this concert. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day for me too.
Let’s get on with it.
David Tao is one of my favourite Chinese artist. I took notice of him after I heard his song “I Love You” and “Regular Friends”. Whenever I listen to these 2 songs, it brings back certain memories of my previous relationship. But that is all gone now, of course. I also bought one of his albums called “Ultrasound”. Although he is well-known for his R&B style of music, I personally think he is better in rock Chinese songs, songs like “Black Tangerine”, “Sula Lampa” and “Ghost”.
One of the good things about staying in Singapore is that, you get a lot of opportunities to attend concerts here, more than in KL. Just this year, I’ve attended Amei’s, Linkin Park’s and My Chemical Romance’s concert. Including David Tao, would be 4 concerts already.
What I Liked About The Concert
- The lightings and lasers were awesome. Videos during songs were beautiful and pretty and sets you in the mood of the song.
- We had pretty good seats, with nice view of the entire stage.
- David sang perfectly. He is really great at singing live. This is what an artist is made of. Bravo. Salute.
- David’s interaction with the crowd. Love it. Love him.
- The sound was clear and booming and best-lah.
- The back-up singers were really good. 2 girls, Ke Wei from Singapore and Elisa from Taiwan. Elisa is like a freaking awesome talented person, she sings, play the trombone, the flute and the violin, omg.
- David singing retro dance songs!!!!! My favourite session of the night!!!! He sang September, Kungfu Fighting, Addicted To Love, it felt like I was at MOS Retrobar for that moment. We stood up to danceeeeee.
What I Didn’t Liked About The Concert
- I thought the music arrangement in the entire concert… kinda sucked. Here’s comes a really good rocking song and everyone’s high and up in the mood to dance and scream and bang heads, then immediately the next song is s l o w. Then again a fast song. Hmm…
- And partly because of this, it confuses people and nobody was in “the mood”. Or should I say, don’t know what’s the mood. The crowd tonight was so passive.
- Everyone around us were just sitting and watching the concert. Sien. Not that we fucking cared la, cos we got jiggy with the concert.
- A stupid bitch behind me tapped my shoulders and asked me to kindly lower down my flashing stick because it was blocking her view. I smiled. Of course in normal situations I would say, “Lady, this is a concert. People wave sticks. Deal with it. If you don’t like you can go back to China” but it was too noisy and saying that half-way and then she goes “Har?” pretend cannot hear will lose all mood of bitch-slapping her. Then didn’t care and continued waving the stick. Mahai, if she tap my shoulders again I will pull that Hong Kong bus uncle episode on her.
Even Stan and Law, my concert mates for both Amei and David Tao, felt the same.
And before I leave, my trademark pose:
