Hi all !!
Greetings from SingaporeDramaMama. Sorry it has been almost 6 mths since my
last post. Honestly, Les Mis was the last thing I caught in the theatre. Since
then I have been busy with real life to watch anything much.
What I DID
catch was Mayday concert in August and Jay Chou concert in September. The less
I say about the Jay Chou concert the better. All I wanna say is I will never
watch a Jay Chou concert again and no more concerts in National Stadium as
well.
Which
brings us to the Mayday concert. Most of you may not know who Mayday is. Mayday
is a Taiwanese rock band. More information about them can be found here. They
have been around for ages but I only knew about them about 8 years ago as introduce
by S. Only in the last 1-2 years have I started actively listening to them. I
heard that their concerts were super so when they were coming here for concert,
I thought I had to see them. This year, they came to Singapore for two nights (5th
& 6th August). I only managed to get 1 single ticket for the 5th
August and so I couldn’t bring S with me. They were here for their “Just Rock
It” tour.
I will not
be going into full details of the concert as you can easily read more about the
concerts on the internet. All I can say is IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC !!! It
was so good that I did my best to get another two tickets for the 2nd
day concert and took S along. IT WAS INCREDIBLE !!!! BOTH NIGHTS !!! I have
never been so entertained at any show, any concert, any play and any event in
my entire life. Every minute of the 3 hours per concert was filled with joy.
Over the years I have gone for Santana, Clapton, Metallica, Mr Big, Emi Fujita
etc concerts but this is easily the best ever. In October I went for the Mayday
concert in Kuala Lumpur as well and it was again wonderful. I will be going for
2 nights of Mayday concert in Tokyo early 2017 as well !! This time at the Budokan
!!! This is my first time to the legendary Budokan and to watch Mayday !! If
not for work commitments, I will be in Taipei now to catch the Mayday concert.
9 days of Mayday concert !!!!!
For once, I
am lost for words about how great the concert was. The showmanship, the energy,
the crowd, the music .. all together just WoW !!!! The ironic part is that, I
do not even understand Chinese but I am so crazy about a Taiwanese rock band
!!! As I told S, she has made me into a Mayday-monster. My friends all think I
must be the biggest Mayday fan in the world to travel all around the world to
watch them. Also at every concert, they sing generally the same songs.. BUT …
each concert is the same BUT YET different. I just cannot explain it but the
joy I feel at the concert is just unexplainable. Even now as I watch their
music videos, I cannot help but smile but yet I feel sad because I am not able
to watch them live. I have never felt such an affinity to any other musical
artist or group before.
It is very
disappointing that just one month after the Mayday concert in Singapore, I
watched Jay Chou and wow … talk about such a big difference. The Jay Chou
concert was boring, drab and so bad that I left halfway.
Anyways,
with the festive season coming up, let me take this opportunity to wish all my
readers a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. May 2017 bring you all good health
and continued blessings !!!
Cheers !!! (which is coincidentally the
title of one of my fav Mayday songs)
