Thank you thank you thank you Jia *hugz* for the following:Hey all,
Details on the Metro Square event have been kinda sketchy. I'm not clear on exactly what is going on. Most advertisements and such only state the date and time, so I don't think there is any special requirement.
A friend who has been to such Taipan events before has said that in the past, some events were pretty packed. As a result, they issued wristbands to the people who got there earliest. But he also said he has never had a problem getting an autograph. But I guess what we fans can take from this is that it doesn't hurt to get there early. The response for this event seems to be really good, so if you show up at 5pm you might be greeted by a large crowd. Good luck everyone! And maybe i'll see some of you there! =]
So everybody can rest assured they should be able to meet David & get his autograph. Latest Update: Just found Metro Square webby with bit more info but not much more on DT press con & auto on 3/28. Also concert tickets giveaway!!!!!! They also linked the promo vid I uploaded @ youtube *__*
Just watched the TW version of Love Can dvd which I got as a gift while I was sick. Wow it was sooooooooooooooo good. 1000% better than the China version which was so chopped up. It was extremely well edited & the soundtrack is excellent. Scanned some pixs from the little booklet that came with it. If u still wondering whether to get it cos u already have Soul Power, I will say DEFINITELY cos its really essential companion piece for DT fans, many of whom will probably be able to see themselves ^__^
After the helicopter crashing intro, David started off with Rain as if to bring back memories of the high point during Soul Power when he got the audience to sing along but after that its a totally different concert even though he sang many of the same songs. All the arrangements were different & he infused them with a slighty broadway, jazzy/bluesy feel which was in keeping with the threatical concept of the concert. As had been mentioned before, the best part was his interaction with the band members so that the band is as much a focal part of the concert as David.
Unlike the slightly frenetic pace of Soul Power, I felt Love Can was more wellpaced with slow & fast songs blending into each other effortlessly. Really cannot chose which part of the concert I like more, it was all so enjoyable: the saucy interchange with Kewei who looked beautiful during Let's fall in love, the french part with Lisa, the rock session, the unplugged session, singing Close to you with female fan. It was just brilliant. Not sure if he will bring the same setup to Toronto but hope so cos there was such great chemistry onstage. So hope that Kewei, Lisa, Jamie, Andrew, Goh Kheng Long, Andy, Lewis, David Tan, Moh Noor & the Shanghai orchestra will all show up in Toronto.

Hey Zhaodi =]
Sorry for the slow trickle of info, but I thot this might shed some light on the "special tickets" part of the Metro Square event. I talked to yet another person who is a regular at these Taipan auto sessions. He says that no special tickets are required per se, but Taipan usually has priority passes (guaranteed autograph type thing) for their employees (or their friends and family). They also sometimes give them out to people who buy their concert tickets (VIP ones i think) through Taipan.
So he said, suppose DT's autograph quota is 200 signiatures, said it's a good bet that 100 or so of them will already be Taipan ones.
Of course, we're not certain if any of this is really true or if it applies to the DT event. So read this info with caution.
But... what I think we can be confident of is that nothing is required (except maybe a copy of ur cd =] ) to get to meet DT n get an autograph, and going early is a good idea. Good luck everyone!
Zhaodi: thx for being so involved in this and for providing so much discussion on the TO concert on ur blog. U rockkk!!
hehe sorry gotta chip in and say the the Love Can DVD was great! I bought it when it came out... tho not as packed with features as soul power (no karaoke, no alternative viewing angles), it's a great performance by DT with some awesome live performances (as always!). i agree with Zhaodi that it's a different whollistic experience from Soul Power. And of course, it includes songs from Great Leap. Definitely worth picking up!
btw: getting to see the whole band again is part of the excitement of the Toronto concert... i'll be so disappointed if they don't come =] they're such a key part of the show i'm sure they will.
Wow so Taiwan version Love Can came out??? When??? I have 2 of the HK version of Love Can, and would love to buy TW version. Where did you find it?
Alice
