Jeff Chang & Symphony Orchestra Singapore Concert 2008


Attended his concert today at Max Pavilion with LLT and Pearlina. Well this time round we decided to buy Cat 3 priced tickets as we dun feel a need to seat so front for this concert and thk god we did not. Hee.... the concert was a sold out with a lot of older generation people watching. Hee....

The concert started earlier than usual (@ 8.15pm) with the Symphony Orchestra behind him and a simple designed stage. The stage only got 3 picture frames. The concept of the concert was he used art work to represent his songs, therefore when he was singing, the art works will appear in the frames. Quite interesting concept.

The concert was simple with not much fanfare, when started he walked out and sing, talk, sing. His clothes all come with a lot of blink blink and pls dun get me started on his hairstyle, the only thing I can say is, when he first walked out everyone jz laughed. Still prefer the hairstyle that he had in the poster above. Hee...

Most importantly, for this concert is his songs. He sang almost all the songs that I wanted to listen to and even sang 2 songs from his new album which is coming out in April. I found myself enjoying the concert even though it is more of a sit down and listen kind of concert.

Come to think of it, the very CD that I bought was Jeff Chang CD. Hee...

Well one suggestion to the organisers, next time to hold these kind of concert, it will be good to hold it at the Esplanade. I think it will do both Jeff Chang & Symphony Orchestra justice. To me, Max Pavilion, is not good place to hold these kind of concert.

The concert ended at 10.30pm which means still can take the MRT to go home. Hee...

I thought the Jeff didn't connect very well with the audience at this concert.
