Megan's Concert Experience
(Taken from Faye Wong Mailing
List)
THE CONCERT
Dave and I thought we were gonna be VERY VERY
close to the stage... Argh
but we weren't really close.. we were about
10-15 rows back.. but we were
on the floor whihc was good!! My seats were
almost dead centre to the stage
so I was happy about that! Dave was in the
SECOND ROW BEHIND me hahaha and Thomas
was next to him.. When we found out where Thomas was sitting Dave
and I named him the translator haha.. he didn't
argue with us etiher, very
nice guy.. Thanks for translating for us!
And then Jenny and Nicki were
supposed to be over to the right more and
farther back, but the seats
behind Dave and Thomas never filled so we
moved them there, so about 6
Fayenatics were all sitting together (kinda)
haha.. Anyway we (dave, me,
jenny, nicki, thomas) all met before in the
aisle in the GGA and were
wondering how to get the Vball and card back
to Faye. It was given to Dave
because everyone thought he was second row
form the stage haha. But one of
the ushers had been talking to me and my
mom and he said since were so nice (or
somehing like this, he was kinda annoying so i tuned him out haha) he
could get someone to put it in Fayre's dressing
room. So, Irene, we gave
the CARD and VOLLYBALL to the man who took
it backstage adn put in ther
dressing room. He said it was there and she
should be there in about 20
minutes..
CONCERT BEGINS
The concert started at about 8:15 I think..
Wen Chang came on at first and
the lady next to me had her binoculars up
the whole time he was on ahhaa..
I really liked the lighting in the whole
concert (faye's and wen chang's)..
Wen Chang sang "My Heart Will Go On" and
"Memories" from Cats... He wasn't
that bad but I was kinda tired of him and
was very impatient for Faye
hhaha. So at about 9:20 Faye came out.
They had the big video projection screen and
she was on a block behind
it, and it raised up and revealed her.. She
was so pretty!! She had on a black top with one side sleeveless, black
pants and this gold skirt over it.. and there were 2 big screens on the
side of the arena which was really nice because they got close ups of Faye.
Faye came out and started singing BORED. She didn't have her own band,
or backup singers, so she sang all by herself, and I liked it a whole lot!
When she first came out I thought her voice sounded a bit high but it evened
out a litle later in the song. She sang this song really good though and
it was a good way to start the concert. After this or maybe before, Dave
shouted "faye you rule!!!" really really loudly (he's a big guy so he can
yell very LOUD) hahaha.. and Faye kinda smiled a little.. you know she
heard you! hehe.. I had a notepad and
my camera in my lap so I was busy taking pics and writing own
the set list.. Actually although it said
no cameras on the tickets the ppl said if u put in a bag or something u
can take it in and use it when the lights go out, so i did.. :)
Set List
Bored, Talked a little, Chesspeice, Wishing
We Last Forever, Brink of Love
and Pain, Elude (Mandarin version of Mong
Jong Yun) for this the screen
came down again and the porcupine came out
of the volcano! It was really
neat looking! Faye's little dance was so
cute also! Sleepwalk, Love
commandments, I think this background music
was taped, because it didn't
sound like it does live (i.e guangzhou) their
ligthing was VERY GOOD for
this though! Dated, hehe Jenny told me she
wished Faye would sing this and
she did, Jenny was very happy. I'm willing,
this was soooo sooooo sooo
wonderfully amazing! the lighting was all
different colors, kinda like the
video for it, it had red, blue, pruple, yellow
lights, they were all really
pale though.. it looked so cool with her
coming thru the lights.. Talked
and said it was the last song I think, You're
Happy (So I'm Happy) She sang
this one very good too! After Faye announced
this was the last song a lot
of the ppl got up and rushed down to the
front and Faye waved to them but
the crowd really really wanted to get down
closer to the stage but security
wouldn't let them.. Oh, after Wen Chang went
off, like 30% (maybe a little
less) of the ppl got up and left hahaha...
They were all kinda old.. Not
like the teenagers there who were there for
Faye!
At the end Faye came back out an sang some
song with Wen Chang and the ppl who gave her flowers and things on stage
came out and they sang some
song... and then all this CONFETTI came down!
it was so pretty to see Faye
on stage waving with all this confetti falling
on everyone! I took some
pics of that also, so no worries! However
when she had her big bouquet of
flowers and waved bye and went off stage
she was smiling a lot, and she
waved.. I wanted to take some pics but I
loaded another roll (#4 haha) and
it took so long to load that when I looked
up Faye went off stage! Oh well
I got most of it anyways hehe.. So that was
the concert.. Faye sings
soooooooo well LIVE! If you ever get the
chance to see her, GO!! |
