Power Station by Maxis

Thanks to Maxis, Power Station was brought to perform in KK on June 9, 2007. Ticket available upon RM10 reload, which almost equate to free. The promotion was in haste and I think lots of people didn't know about it until it's too late. And for this case, the saying "good things didn't come free or cheap" is not that true anymore cox they're powerful, living up to their name.
The previous Astro Talent Quest winner Anthony Cheng from KK kicked off the performance. Saw his face in the background banner? Hm.... no comment.

Even if you didn't have the ticket, it's OK cox you can watch the whole concert nearby Padang Merdeka as it's open air!!! What a treat to the KK folks!!!

Phoebe (MyFM) was the MC for the concert and less irritating than the MC for the event who's in-charge of the pre-concert warm up and games session.

They belted out a list of their songs and the crowd obviously were their fans... and most of them were male audience! This is quite a rare instance as most of the time, the screaming concert go-er are mostly females while the males were enjoying and dancing if the tune is right. I guess Power Station is one of the rare group or performers whose songs were OK for the guys to like or be able to hum the whole lyrics of it without feeling embarassed about it! Even their less rock-heavy ballad numbers were well-memorised by the guys attending the concert, as proven by the loud guys singing crowd that night! Bravo!!!


Oh, they entertained the crowd request twice too!!! Firstly at the earlier part of the concert was "Chong Dong" 冲动. And towards the later part of the concert, they answered my request, yeah... MY REQUEST thanks to my loud shouting voice, they belted out half of "Thinking Of You is My Pre-sleep Habit" 想你是临睡的习惯

不甘心不放手
无情的情书
热情的沙漠
忠孝东路走九遍
你快乐所以我快乐
彩虹

I think I missed some of their rather new songs which I'm not that familiar.

It was a great mini concert and of course when it's free, it's even better hahahaha.....

One of the many strengths PowerStation had was able to be flexible with their choice of songs (because they played their own songs); they asked what their fans want and deliver powerfully just like that..
THANK YOU for shouting out ur fav song, I was sooooo mesmerized by them..

Glad I caught the later part of the concert, just geram that I couldn't scream along with d crowd.
