A Night to Remember
I was at Live and Loud KL Concert yesterday for Acoustic Night. It was held at KL Convention Centre. When I got there I was somewhat surprise of the amount of people who turned up! The Acoustic Night managed to attract many young fans as well as elderly ones. The artist who performed last night was Malaysia's very own Dayang Nurfaizah, Australia legend Rick Price, and British lad James Morrison.
The concert kicked off around 9pm with Dayang Nurfaizah as the opening act. She sang to a total of 5 songs. 3 Malay songs and 2 English hits. As far as I remember, the songs were "Hurt" by Christina Aguilera, "Dayang Sayang Kamu" and a song by legendary Stevie Wonder. Dayang was enjoying herself on stage and I must say she looked stunning last night! The English songs that she sang are well pitched only her pronunciations sometimes could not be heard clearly. But other than that, Dayang was rocking the stage!
Before the concert began, I had a chance to have a sneak preview of Rick Price's performance at the Press Conference Room (PCR). His songs aren’t that bad considering the fact that I only know one song sung by him which is “Heaven Knows”. When Rick Price entered the PCR, he greeted all of us with a warm smile. He is cool, smooth and a natural joker. He answered all the questions asked by the press. He wasn't arrogant but simply down to earth. ;D
Its been almost 15 years since Rick P. last visited Malaysia. When asked about what he has been doing after all these years, he simply smiled and said, he has been recording, writing, producing music, and basically enjoying life! Currently, he is recording his old songs in acoustic form. Another question shot by the press is, “What inspires Rick P?” He quoted, life, relationships with people, music, writers, and performers! Rick P. also admitted that he is amused by Damian Russ & Brian Adams. After all the questions have been answered, Rick P. with pleasure performed for the members of the media.
Rick gave the crowd numerous acoustic songs and the audience was swept off their feet. All was quietly at the seats enjoying every moment. The very talented Rick P. even played the harmonica and guitar simultaneously! That requires coordination! He then ended his night with the one and only "Heaven Knows" which got the fans to sing along with him. The chorus of the song was like an angelic choir!
Finally after an hour performance by Rick P., its time for the crowd to get what they were there for! JAMES MORRISON!! Shortly a few minutes pass 11, James Morrison stepped on stage and got all the female screaming!! Seriously, I was one of them! . Not to mention Faiz too! James did not disappoint the crowd but instead got the craving for more! He sounds exactly like how we hear him on the radio.
I could hardly sit quietly! I was so excited! James famous hit "You give me" and "Pieces don't fit in anymore" got the crowd to sing along. It was a one man with his guitar performance! James even sang his new song to the viewers. I'm not too sure what the title of the song is, but that song was sung first time LIVE in the whole world! So basically, we're the first peeps who heard that song worldwide! I feel so lucky! *grins*
James quoted, "He is far away from home, and we Malaysians are probably living in the hottest country in the world!" When he started to take of his vest, the crowd went "gaga"! Some even shouted that they wanted a lock of his hair! This time it wasn’t me! Well all I can say is James performance last night was splendid! I enjoyed every moment of it! This British mate, got me going crazy over him!
Well, good things will have to come to an end. Acoustic Night has passed and tonight is Jazz night. May it be rocking as the acoustic night! A job well done by the organizers! Kudos! Its was an amazing night!
