David Tao Concert Singapore 2010


Attended David's concert last Friday 8-Jan-2010. This is his 3rd concert I've ever attended, and possibly the last since he is retiring from music for now. There are lots of review out there already published, so I'm not gonna write a review of the concert here. You can just click the reference link below to read more (with clips included).

At the age of 40 now, his concert too is showing his age. From previous years, I remember dancing all the way from the 2nd half of the concert onwards. This time, it was just fast track alternate with slow track, so the momentum is kinda lost along the way. The vocal quality at this show was also pale as compared to previous pitch perfect concert. Sorry David!

But unlike majority of the people there who wants to listen to his Chinese hits, I was there more for the English songs and Rock songs and lots and lots of guitar!! I also believe an artist should help you to grow in terms of interest and perspective, and David Tao has always done so. For this concert, a few 'new' songs were added into my existence: Eric Clapton's Sunshine of Your Love, Jimi Hendrix's Foxy Lady, Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall (which I totally agree to the lyrics!), David Bowie’s Space Oddity(omg David Bowie is suddenly cool again!), Commodores’ Easy , and not forgetting some of my already favorites now done in a Tao twist: Eagles's Hotel California, Procol Harum’s A Whiter Shade Of Pale, Soft Cell’s Tainted Love (Awesome song!), and a song that appears in almost every concert of his is Stevie Wonder's Superstition (Great Song To Dance To!) All TOTALLY AWESOME! Plus, there was even a great south American dance session which I totally love! Why be boring and just stick to Chinese? Come on people! Live a little! The world is so wide!

Here to share with you some of the original songs. How could anyone sit thru a concert instead of dancing with all these songs playing live??? Enjoy!
