Night Out at Beyond's Concert

Beyond coming to town! An exhilarated Slug was dying to meet them, so we attended their mini concert at Lunar which was scheduled to start at 8pm. When we reached at 8pm, the first floor of Lunar was almost filled. We could hardly believe the overwhelming response.

So we squeezed our way up to the second floor, and to the balcony overlooking the stage. Securing a spot to stand was easy, but securing a spot that gives a good view of the stage was not. We had to contend with tiptoeing and rubbing shoulders with the other patrons.

Couldn't believe the concert actually started at 10.30pm. We were fiercely guarding our positions and refusing to go to the toilet. Yip Sai Wing came on stage to perform his solo songs, followed by Paul Wong and his solo items, but seriously I believe we were all there to relive the sentimentality of Beyond's classics.

They then performed their evergreen goodies like 大地，长城，真的爱你 and 光辉岁月, much to everyone's delight. Despite being a twosome act now, their charm and popularity still has not waned amongst us Cantopop hardcores. Some dude wanted to request for a song and was shouting "情人" wildly, but I think they pretended not to hear him. They ended with a stirring encore of 海阔天空 and my favourite 不再犹豫.

We left Lunar feeling so intoxicated. Just $40 to watch them perform close-up a string of classics - never would we ever get a chance like this again.
