Dui bu qi.
Paiseh.

And this entry should be blogged yesterday. I should be going to your concert but in the end I didnt cos I want to save my $168.00. I heard that there would be fantastic visuals and the stage would be decorated into a rainforest and there would be a helicopter. I heard you would be inviting your father as your special guest.
But I am not interested in all these. I want to see a concert where it is just you and only you. No frills no nothing. I just hope to see a concert like your last one, where there is only you, your band and your 合音.
No guest. No decorated stage. No frills.
I heard about how you think this concert would be interesting, how you would like your fans to enjoy ur music.
But I think I wouldnt, so I didnt go.
See what others say about the concert, at here, here, or here.
Or see this page devoted to you. And extracted this from this page, which was in turn extracted from newpaper.
Visual treats at David's concert
A HELICOPTER, a tropical rainforest, and the song Butterfly.
That is David Tao's promise to fans who show up at his Love Can concert tomorrow.
There will be flashy costumes, a replica chopper, a 'back to nature' backdrop, and great music backed by an eight-piece string orchestra.
David will also croon the highly-requested Butterfly because his Singapore fans have requested it repeatedly.
He said he wrote the song as a devotional piece to God, but rarely performs it live because the lyrics are 'too complicated' and difficult to remember.
Would he also strip and show off his six-pack abs?
David laughed: 'It all depends on the audience reaction. Screaming (for him to strip) for 10 seconds is not enough. At least 30 seconds to a minute!'
Need to be so fanciful meh? Your music alone isnt good enough anymore?
I like your music since your first album. It is weird to say this, but it all started subconsciously. Around 6 or 8 mths after you release your first album, taoism, I heard daniel chan singing a cover version of ai hen jian dan.
I thought to myself, tao zhe sings better. The next second, I am bewildered how I knew that. Those were the days when I am still no master at the chinese songs scene. I listened, but dont pay as much attention as I do now.
The next day, I find myself recapping the tao zhe songs that I knew. Again to my amazement, I realised although I never thought much about it, I do know quite a long of your songs, and I even know the lyrics to them.
It is almost as though I've heard your songs and they had be subconsciously planted in me.
I bought your first album a few days later, and after 2 yrs of so after that, you released your next album, 'I'm ok'.
I bought it the same day that it was released and I love that album. I think that is my favourite album of yours.
Of course when your music company decided to re-release with vcd, I bought them too.
Your music appeals to me, or rather you appeals to me probably because you were a musician to me then. Your music was quite well recieved but not considered as very good selling. But still you would still produce good music without being too commercialised.
Back then it was like this.
The first mini concert I went of yours was held at hardrock cafe, where the entrance fee is $28. (I can still remember leh! Shen qi!) That was a mth or so before your second album. I was super touched by your performace.
The second mini concert I attended was at sparks. Very 音乐性 as well.
The third I attended was your first concert in singapore 2 yrs ago. As much as I like other artistes, I make it a point to buy tao zhe's original albums. I also try to attend all concerts as long as I can get the tickets.
But for this one, I am not half as eager. Tao zhe, dont be so commercialised can? Thank god your music is not, but your performace is getting very commercialised.
Think of your mtv, think of your appearance on tv these days (you dont grace tv shows last time one what, and you leave your sales of your albums to your music), think of the sometimes crude humour you injected in your interviews.
Please?
