Beijing concert reviews

My dream came true, David got down on his knee to propose heehee anyway so satisfied now cos just watched him in the news. Not concert news but pre-concert where he went to the gym & showed off ^_^ if u think he looked kewl in the pixs, let me tell u he is 10 times more kewl live. That sleeveless top he wore made him looked so young & then later he wore a cap & looked just to die for. He said if his fans shouted for him to strip for at least 1 min then he would comply, guess the Beijing fans were not up to it haha, now have to wait for Taiwan fans to try. Also showed him @ rehearsal singing Rain & media were so entranced with his singing. Not surprising cos he sounded so gooooooooood.
Mark did marvellous review again @ DT forum which I reposted @ blog forum with his permission. It's really good so go read it ok. David was vry high & even told security not to ask his fans to sit down as they r supposed to stand up during concert, & not to worry as his fans r vry well-behaved. His fans respect him too much to make a commotion, all they wanted was to immerse in his music & singing. He was so high that he said he wanted to give himself to his fans, then pointed to an excited girl jumping & yelling, he asked her if he could go home with her, he would stay at her home tonight, he & his band would all stay at her home. He must be in a great mood cos he kept smiling & smiling. Found short, sweet online review @ CRI with 3 songs to listen online:
David Tao Rocks Beijing
2005-09-12 10:32:26 CRIENGLISH.com
The godfather of Taiwan music, David Tao, rocked Beijing Sunday night with the first concert of his "Magic Music Journey" at the Capital Gymnasium.
Renditions of all the popular songs from his albums brought the concert to one climax after another.
As an expression of gratitude to the city of his birth, Beijing, Tao performed an excerpt from Peking Opera accompanied by a small drum before launching into the song, "Susan Says", which is a R&B hit using Peking Opera elements.
Tao staged a huge sellout concert in Shanghai last month, his first concert on the Chinese mainland after eight years in the business. Having heard that Beijing audiences have an ear for rock, David Tao added more rock elements to his renditions and staged a rahter different performance to his Shanghai outing.
Both fans and the media have long compared Tao with Jay Chow, as they are both good singer/songwriters in the R&B style. This time Tao proved to the audience that he has his own distinct style and talent, no matter what the critics say. It's now harvest time for David Tao, as he composes and sings songs that best showcase his talent and passion.

They made mistake of cos with 'city of his birth', his mother not him was born in Beijing. So happy that both Shanghai & Beijing concerts were almost perfect except for ppl not being able to hear David in Shanghai. David even asked if they all could hear him during Beijing, he is such a perfectionist. Here doing his trademark leap into the air, love him when he does that, just so David *muak*
