Beijing media event

Media event for David's Beijing concert on Sep 10. After success of Shanghai concert with 95% tickets sold, expectation is high for Beijing concert. Watched news of Shanghai concert & apart from his parents & mbrs of Tension, think I saw Craig Burbridge who did most of the mixing on his albums. During Beijing event, fans wanted to know what's new for next concert & David said he may incorporated diff roles in Beijing opera. More pixs of Beijing event here, here, here & can watch part of event here but vry slow.
Btw Mark did excellent review of Shanghai concert in DT forum & was reading in Sohu where foreign fan reported to be extremely high during concert, was that you Mark or maybe Craig heehee Also lotsa concert pixs up @ davidtao.com They only played Rain during concert news but it sounded rather diff from Soul Power, slower in tempo but still extremely good. The Sohu writeup also said that most songs had new arrangements & the reviewer most astonished many in the audience knew how to sing all his songs from past to present hits including banned ones like Ghost & Bastard.
Quite an accomplishent for David holding his 1st concert in China 8 yrs after his first album release considering he wasn't even vry well known then. Was quite moved reading posts from fans who waited for so long & felt it was well worth the wait. One mentioned a middle aged man besides her who knew all the words to his songs, she felt so awed & hope that she will be just as enthusiastic when she is his age. Well 3 weeks to go till Beijing ^__^
