James Mok’s Soliloquy

and Gloria Gaynor.

We went to their concert last night. The problem with this kind of concert is that drinks were not allowed in the concert hall. It should have been an outdoor seatless event. Some audiences must have been in their 70s or more so naturally, if you take out the foreigners, it was not an “excited” crowd at all. With David being there made it an even more miserable sceen. Actually, we hardly saw him as he must have been sitting while everyone rushed to the front and stood there all around him. I wonder if he saw anything but people’s butts.

The Cool and the Gang was supposed to be there as well but I think it was due to the poor ticket sales they’ve decided to drop them in the end without prior notice. Loudspeakers were not enough and not positioned well enough to give a full sound for the audience on the sides. The 8 o’clock concert did not start until 8:30pm. The Village People were then late for their flight and left without an encore and even missed one of their major song - Go West despite our my rumbling, cheering, and yelling for it! I suggest any future concert goers to buy a CD or a DVD rather than paying so much for a poorly sounded and poorly organized concert, especially for those miserable downer audiences. It’s a rock/disco concert not a theatrical musical play for crying out loud!

If they keep up with this kind of concert format for this type of performers, concerts would become the next dying breed after cinema movies.

BTW, this is to the recorded female announcer, the word is “beverages” not “beverlages”. Playing the recording over and over again for more than 45 minutes before each and every concert isn’t going to make it sound any better.
