Exploring the World: Alan Tam Concert in Singapore

Last Saturday, 28 April, was Alan Tam's 30th Anniversary World Tour concert. We didn't think of watching initially when the news of the concert was made public. It was a series of the concert advertisement on TV that prompted Alvin 'he must watch'. I wasn't so keen although I like some of his 80s and 90s popular hits. So I insisted Alvin to pay for my tickets as well... Hee.....

And so, we went for his concert ! It was held at the Max Paviliion at Singapore Expo. The carpark was full when we are there at 7pm, concert to start at 7.30pm..... There were streams and streams of people and we were surprised by the turnout. So we followed the crowd and went along to the hall. After 5 mins of stroll then we realised the masses of the crowds belongs to the church...... I took a peep into one of the halls for the church and was atonished that the decor was as good as a pop concert going on ! The hall was lit with colour spot lights and the whole hall was 'lit' dark.......

Nevertheless, the turnout of the concert was equally good with at 80% filled. As usual, we have to wait for at least 30mins before it starts..... but the concert started promptly 8pm sharp with a medley of dancing hits......

There was no special appearance by any other singers and Alan Tam sang continous for 3 solid hours with only 2 5-mins break in between, communicating with the audience cracking jokes, fast and slow songs blended well throughout the concert. we were taken by surprised. At 57, Alan had the stamina to dance and belted out all his hits with no sign that he is out of breath.

He also can hold the audience till the very last song for the concert with sme refusing to go even when the whitle lights are lit after the concert. I remembered he has many crazy fans arranging from males and more females teenagers and young adults during the 80s and 90s, going crazy of him. So, i must say we are shock when we saw many of his matured (by now) fans screaming and dancing to his songs, standing right in front all the way throughout the concert....... These matured or even above 40s fans behaved just exactly as they used to be when they are younger.... The scene was pretty amusing but I guessed they are just reliving what's they have been during their younger days.....

So much of the concert, here are some snapshots of Alan Tam and some concert highlight I've taken..... Enjoy !!!!!
