David Tao Comments on His Tour
2005-08-20 12:09:30 CRIENGLISH.com
The Taiwan godfather of music Tao Zhe or David Tao finally realized his dream of holding a huge sellout concert on the Chinese Mainland after 8 years in the biz. The first stop was his hometown Shanghai, and now he’s continuing his tour to Beijing. Will he prepare something special for his Beijing fans?
Taiwan R&B singer and songwriter David Tao kicked off his concert tour in Shanghai's Hongkou Stadium last Saturday.
The stadium which can hold over 30 thousand people was almost full. And David didn't disappoint his fans. From his first song "Find Myself", the audience went crazy.
At the celebration banquet after the concert, David couldn't hide his excitement and he even revealed to the media that one song in the repertoire, "Tiantian" is dedicated to a girl who is very important to him.
"She is my intimate friend. She couldn't come to my concert today. So I sang the song, 'Tiantian' for her as she is special to me."
It's a pity his friend failed to turn up to his first concert, as for David's fans, the concert was absolutely flawless.
Shanghai was the first stop of David Tao's world tour which continues in the capital on September 10th. David promises to rock Beijing.
"I know that the Beijing audience has an ear for rock music. So I will sing more rock tunes in Beijing's concert. A different Tao Zhe will appear on the stage."
He'll also sing some excerpts of Peking Opera to please fans in Beijing.

No matter what the critics say, it's harvesting time for David Tao who composes and sings songs that always show his talent and passion.

Unfortunately the audio link must have expired & so cannot listen to David speaking. Something I like to see is David playing the drums on stage. If he strip off his shirt to play the drums, even better heehee I really dun mind David being sexy on stage so long as its not sleazy. After all he is not doing it to hide the fact that he cannot really sing well or the concert has not much to offer but his bare torso. Whatever he wants to do on stage so long as its done with good taste & enhanced his music, I am quite prepared to accept with open mind. As missred mentioned in her excellent msg, 'the day u are more concerned abt whether his stage sets are too showy rather than the meaning behind his music his purpose in this music industry then perhaps its time to move on.'
Nice pix of David with his parents.
