David celebrated succcess of his concerts. It was said he broke the bad luck of performing at Taipei Arena with his 2 concerts not suffering any glitches altho he did suffered mild injury at the corner of his eye when a worker accidentally hit him with a mike *poor David* Sum news on TVBS tonight but not enough. They only showed white outfit but wanna see the others to see if there r any changes.
They did showed aftershow celebration & he looked marvellous, vry glowy. Such a change from earlier when he looked rather stressed. David did said that for a while he thought he was unable to hold his concerts & that holding concerts in Taiwan vry difficult. When the media asked why, he said he will tell the reason in 10 yrs. A lengthy article posted by TW Yahoo Grp abt the management of Taipei Arena addressing this problem but the chinese beyond me to understand. Anyway no matter what he still managed to achieve vry good results. Our dear David such a champion dun u think ^__^

Here another fab slideshow @ Tom.com of his celebration. It seemed Melody & Butterfly were left out, otherwise pretty much the same songlist as previous concert with 1 new song Sula & Lampa. He also did the Beijing opera bit before Susan Said & the english medley, both well received. But sum disappointed David let his female singers did the rap for Susan said & yeah agreed with them. Even tho I am not into rap, I love the one in Susan Said esp when he did it the special way @ Hunan NY concert.

Many fans said they were impressed how unselfishly David let his band mbrs & backup singers take centrestage. More celebrities on 2nd night such as SHE & Fanfan's bf who said Fanfan who attended 1st night told him it was great so he came & also to thank David for writing a great song for his gf which apparently vry well received in China even winning a few prizes *yeah yeah* David was also grateful to those celebrities who actually bought tickets to attend, he said jokingly now he know who r his friends.
Sum confirmation @ taozeehk that dates for HK concerts are indeed April 14-16, tickets range HK$400/$300/$200/$100. Also survey of 100 ppl abt whose concert they r willing to pay $400 & Eason was the absolute winner while David was 5th after Jason Lo, Joey Yung & Miriam Yeung (info credit AsianFanatics). Guess maybe ppl in HK r a bit tired of pretty idol singers who cannot sing vry well live. Always been the trend in the west that more established singers like Sting & Billy Joel do better in concerts so maybe its catching up here in the east.
Cos if u think abt it, if you gonna pay to spend 3 hrs in the dark with thousands of strangers then the singer has better be able to deliver live performance professionally. If not, then might as well stay home & listen to the cd if u like the songs. Even if the stage, the outfits, the dancing are fantastic, can always wait for the dvd & watch in the comfort of yr own home. So the only compelling reason to attend a concert if u r not extreme fan is when you want to experience the raw talents of the singer & enjoy his live singing. This is the kind of concert that David is able to deliver show after show. So PROUD of him @_@
