Jay Chou's 2010 ERA Concert

I just watched Jay Chou (周杰伦)'s - The Era concert over the weekend and I was totally blown over by it! The special effects they presented live in front of audiences these days is just fantastic! Thanks heaps to dear Pal who bought the set of DVD and Music CDs for me. It even came with a set nun-chucks imprinted with the concert title. Every concern is different and magical and the last one I watched was his 2007 one.

The special edition album with the set of nuchucks.

There were lots of elaborate stuff and and dancing as well as electronic animations going on throughout the show. Though I didn't like some of his lacy girly costumes, he's still the same great performer. He's so talented and plays quite a few different musical instruments as well. But of course the piano is still his forte. And he's now also a music producer / director, setting up the company called JVR Music. Here's a preview of his ERA 2010 concert:

The DVD also had special back-stage filming showing how he and his crew practiced so hard and organised everything so that the concert will go smoothly. He also has his parents and his beloved grandma who attends a lot of his concerts in the back-stage filming as well. And you can see how much his family means to him in the short clips, its just heart-warming.

I always dreamed of going to Jay Chou's concert live one day. And the closest he has been was in Sydney. He wasn't performing when I was working back in Singapore / Malaysia, though I know his first concert was in 2001. That time I probably wasn't so into him yet and by 2004 I was already here in Melbourne.

So yeah, here's hoping that he will make Melbourne one of his concert destinations in future and there's already a facebook campaign that someone has set up to try and do that, of which I most definitely clicked "YES" on it. 永远周杰伦! :)
