no one can live life in loneliness, only stars in the sky far away... [WELCOME everyone from everywhere, with intention or by accident - THIS BLOG IS BEST VIEWED IN WEB VERSION FORMAT as its how I envision it to be with the text and photos but still any layout format will work just fine.]
Ini adalah post serius. Sesuatu aku sangat prihatin.
Aku sangat duka cita pasal dah tiga kali perkara ni jadi depan mata aku terang2... ni semua in KL.
1) Aku ada kat salah satu kedai makan pasal aku tengah lalu kat kedai2 dan tak tahu nak beli makan buat balik kat kedai mana satu...
Abis tu aku tengah tengok lauk2 yang banyak tu kat kedai India Muslim ni or mamak, then brader ni duduk kat kerusi meja berdekatan ngan lauk pauk tu,
dia tiup vapour / vape dia tu aku rasa dah modify kot, asap tu terus selaput atas semua segala lauk/kari2/gulai2/makanan2/ kat kedai tu sampai hujung ke hujung.
Aku pun kensel la, dan gi kedai lain, tapi aku tak sampai hati, pasal kedai mamak tu antara kedai aku beli makan kadang2, besok nye aku bilang la ngan staff kat situ... pasal asap vape menyelubungi lauk pauk dia...
Dia alihkan meja tu, dan sekarang kedai tu dah meja yang dulu ada sebelah tu dah takde.....
2) Kat lagi satu kedai, kat bahagian buat roti nan, brader ni tiup vapour sebelah tempat orang buat roti nan tu, kan dia nak uli, then nak letak garlic, ke cheese ke, abis la selaput asap tu jatuh atas meja roti nan tu, tapi aku tengok lauk sardin / lauk kari kacang semua dah tertutup, dan mamak India tu tengah tak menguli.. so ok la.. aku diamkan je..
3) gerai satay... aku susah nak cakap pasal orang2 gini datang ngan family jenis Muslimin Muslimah? korang paham apa maksud aku tak?
Its like aku ni Setan nak tunjuk pandai kat kedai or gerai.... tapi aku rasa aku harus jalankan tanggungjawab aku sebagai sorang ahli masyarakat kalau aku nampak benda tak kena, dan especially it directly involve me.
Tapi, aku terus terang cakap kat tukang jual satay "Asap Vape dia hembus kena kat satay saya order, tukar baru..."
abis tu dia hisap vape, dia hembus kat meja tempat penggerai satay tentang susun2 satay yang dah dimasak...
again nasib baik la, Ni depan mata aku, kuah kacang yang dalam periuk tu tertutup...
Serious aku bukan la seorang pembersih yang very particular, aku bukan la sorang yang so like 100% hygience conscious, tapi aku cakap la... when it comes to food tolong hormat, tak kira food tu untuk sapa pun
kucing ke anjing ke korang kasi makan pun korang cek dulu kan makanan tu..
Aku kasi family aku makan, kalau kat gerai tepi jalan dengan macam2 asap kenderaan lalu lalang ke hapa ke, aku rasa lumrah kehidupan... dengan gini gaya kehidupan kita dalam masyarakat hari ini..
Tapi...
Adakah aku nak kasi sapa2 makan, baik family ke kawan ke mahupun strangers, makanan yang diserkup dengan asap vape hembusan orang lain , dah ditiup ngan asap yang keluar dari paru2 orang lain...
Sorry la eh dari segi medical aku tak tahu, kalau bukan paru2, dari dalam badan orang atau hidung dan mulut la eh...
Korang suka tak, makanan yang disaji untuk anak bini korang, ahli keluarga korang...
aku hembuskan nafas aku kat makanan tu?
korang suka...?
I mean korang tahu perangai BBNU tak? Kalau BBNU aku tak kesah, malah aku rasa aku tegur cara baik dorang boleh terima...
Tapi... kalau perangai semua dah dewasa, abis tu seriouslah aku segan ngan orang2 perawatakan geng baik,penampilan orang2 baik gitu in public,
abis tu korang hembus asap vape sebarangan.... abis tu kena makanan orang..
Aku tak tahu la pasal orang lain.. tapi like aku cakap la, korang suka tak orang lain hembus nafas dia tiup nafas dia, kat makanan family/kawan2 korang dan sebagainye...
Just a thought, dan mungkin aku sorang je kot tak suka orang tiup2 vape nye asap kat makanan2 tersaji di gerai2/warong2/kedai2 mamak...
tapi let it be clear, kalau aku gi kedai asap vape menyelubungi (ni aku bukan cakap sikit ok) ni dah menyelubungi makanan tu, kalau belum order aku kensel order dan besok hari nye kalau aku regular atau kedai tu dekat ngan rumah aku aku akan beritahu pekedai tu pasal ni semua kebersihan... dan keprihatinan hidup masyarakat... jadi dia boleh susun balik kerusi meja dia jadi asap vape tak menyelubungi makanan2 dia,
atau kalau aku tengok makanan aku dah order kena selubungi asap vape, aku mintak tukar...
pasal aku takkan sampai hati bawak balik rumah kasi love ones aku makan atau sapa2 la pun makan, aku tahu makanan2 tu dah DISIMBAH dengan asap2 dari perut/mulut/hidung orang lain....
and please dont be a smart alecky to say abis tu nafas pekedai atau tukang masak atau orang lalu lalang sama2 pilih makanan lauk pauk tu cammana? tu is a distance away, dan its not asap vape yang basically dah menyeluputi segala makanan tu...
I mean, sangat bastard aku kalau aku hembus2 nafas aku atau tiup2 nafas aku kat makanan orang lain kan?
I mean I dont vape, so aku hembus2 je la...nafas aku...
Antara band yang paling aku minat sekali la dalam hidup aku - RAINBOW. Berdebar2 jantung ok. First Love gitu...Cinta Pertama haha. -Tak kira la apa era pun dari zaman Rainbow buat muzik 1975-1984 walaupun 1976 era anggota RISING adalah MAGIC, adalah tersangat dahsyat, baik studio atau live. -Tak kira la sapa penyanyi dan pemuzik yang mengiringi Ritchie Blackmore. Era 90an dengan Rainbow Strangers In Us All aku minat tapi tak segiler aku minat era 70an dan 80an dorang dengan line up paling WORLD, line up palingmacam fikir cam... best nye eh sapa dapat tengok Rainbow zaman tu beraksi, dapat tengok Cozy Powell beraksi, Tony Carey dan sebagainye...cammana agaknye... AKU KADANG2 BERANGAN ALANGKAH BESTNYE KALAU DAPAT RASA APA TU KEHEBATAN RAINBOW ZAMAN TU.. terutama zaman Rainbow Rising 1976 bermain live yang paling menggerunkan aku dengan kehebatan pemuzik2 dan Ronnie James Dio zaman Rising tu. haha. Sebab tu, kena paham la kalau aku dah bilang better half aku yang of course beliau TAHU dan kenal APA TU RAINBOW DAN SAPA TU RITCHIE BLACKMORE, COME ON NI HOUSEHOLD NAMES UNTUK SEBAHAGIAN UMMAH MELAYU OK!!!HAHAHAHAHAHA, bahawasanye , aku akan cuba sedaya upaya nak save up, aku akan berusaha, berusaha tahap giler babi punye berusaha, nak backpacking sorang2 gi Loreley, Jerman, satu tempat yang aku langsung tak reti dan tak paham dan memang rasa cuak sikit cammana nak pergi untuk tengok Ritchie Blackmore ngangabungan pemuzik dan penyanyi pilihannye yang akan menjadi Rainbow 2016 tahun depan. So sambil dengar Alphaville live, A-Ha live, Roxette dan of course Rainbow 1976 live.. aku buat blog ini...
When I bought this like in last year? I remember I show the box exterior in this blog. Today I will talk cock a bit about this specific boxset. Not exactly a review, just a short talk cock.
As the box says, POLYDOR YEARS, so no Strangers In Us All album from 1995 as that is certainly another era and another music label. UNFORTUNATELY, NO FINYL VINYL double LP. If FINYL VINYL was included as part of this boxset, it would have been simply out of this world awesomeness.
The vinyls are in the BACK TO BLACK 180 gram heavyweight celebrations. And Difficult To Cure inner sleeves are simply my favourite LOL!!
The packaging try to copy the similar designs from the originals releases back then, I believe.
- So Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, RISING, Long Live Rock And Roll, and ON STAGE are all GATEFOLDS.
- On Stage is a double LP.
- Down To Earth has no lyric sheets.
- Rising as usual, only Stargazer lyrics are included.
So yes, no Bad Girl, No Weiss Heim and no Jealous Lover on this boxset but something nice, inside this boxset there is a password that allows to download the MP3 versions of this boxset,
and surprise.... I did try to download and I realise...
WEISS HEIM (which is maybe one of the saddest haunting guitar instrumental ever and with the talked about classicalJS Bach's Well Tempered Clavier) and Bad Girl are tagged along at the end of DOWN TO EARTH album.
Nope, I cannot locate Jealous Lover mp3 on that special download anywhere. LOL!!!!
As we remain in the Ritchie Blackmore TERRITORY and to some extend Roger Glover (JEFF WALKER FROM CARCASS on stage while Carcass performed called Roger Glover a SAD BASTARD, as they are both mates from the same village in Liverpool if I remember correctly when Jeff Walker was talking cock on stage even chasing the Carcass fans to go to main stage as Avenged Sevenfold was playing at the same time LOL!!, he was talking about Roger Glover as both Carcass and Deep Purple played in Hellfest 2014 which I was there ) involvement in both bands, RAINBOW AND DEEP PURPLE, so.... a quick diversion to Deep Purple side of things - I am kind of interested in what is a new boxset that is coming out call Vinyl Collection, as it allows me a much cheaper access to building up their vinyl collection that accomodate the Ritchie Blackmore (and Tomi Bolin) years with Deep Purple, UNFORTUNATELY AGAIN, the label difference makes it a bit of headache as it will starts with Machine Head and ends with House Of Blue Light, So NO IN ROCK, NO FIREBALL.
Back to Rainbow The Polydor Years Boxset...
one last pic...
anyway, I was kind of entering youtube these few days and listening to different live versions of Child In Time, and I really marvel at what Jon Lord is...
Thats all...
I see a rainbow rising, look out on the horizon.. and I'm coming home My eyes are bleedinggggg and my heart is leaving here..
Maybe one day I will talk cock about Stargazer, wikipedia has a even a nice discussion about this specific single bloody "morality tale" song LOL!!!
In Malay Language & then in English. Contents are different to some extend... AKU NAK CAKAP SIKIT PASAL SERANGAN KAT PARIS 24 JAM LEPAS. Pukul 5 lebih pagi Ahad, kul 6am gitu kot? Aku kat kerja tu jam, shif malam, so aku dahbis buat kerja so aku nak relak kejap aku ambik tablet aku dari dalam beg, relak kejap la, then masuk tenet, then CNN was like cakap ada attack kat Paris, dalam hati aku, lagi sekali? so aku scroll scroll, biar betik Stade De France apa jadi siak?? France versus Germany - hati aku sempat berdetik.. siot la players Arsenal involve berapa orang sey ni game aku start kira... pasal serangan baru berlaku jadi berita CNN pun tak clear la, then aku scroll tengok baca BATACLAN kena serang???!! Biar betik tentu ada band rock tengah main punye... tapi tu jam CNN prompting serangan di Paris ni dah 15 kematian dan berita pun samar2....(PADAHAL MATI 100 LEBIH) Pasal kita ngan Paris beza waktu 7 hours gitu, Makin berita makin clear aku asyik carik berita Bataclan aje.... pasal setahun lepas aku tengok Extreme main kat sana, lepas festival Hellfest kat Clisson abis, Isnin pagi aku cam giler rush balik bandar Paris yang jauhnye 350KM kot aku naik keretapi . tak tidur, dengan backpack, lagi sorang2 hegeh2 cam sesat naik subway Paris tu carik kawasan Bataclan ni pasal Paris besar giler, semua pasal nak tengok Extreme main kat Bataclan ni la, aku campak beg haversack aku yang berat nak mampos tu kat lodging berdekatan paling murah aku jumpa,aku siap pergi makan dulu kat kedai2 makanan halal kat kawasan zon Republic tu,aku masih ingat aku gatal tanya penjual tu "HALAL?" dia jawab ""YES, ALL HALAL EXCEPT FISH NOT HALAL", Siot je kan? YOU TRYING TO BE FUNNY TO MY STUPID QUESTION.. hahahaa... korang paham eh? ni joke ok.. kedai tu memang halal, aku gatal tanya lagi... Yes, aku selenger bacin. haha. so aku gi Bataclan, tiket kat tangan aku dah beli online 6 bulan lepas sebelum tu, dan dah post kat aku dah, aku diri kat belakang pasal aku lambat, aku dekat ngan pintu masuk, aku dekat ngan merchandise nye stand. Aku dalam kepala hotak, bila baca laporan2 yang mula keluar dari Bataclan, aku dah boleh imejin clear cut cammana keadaan... then aku like sedih la kan, then cam apa sey buat gini.... lepas tu lepas 24 jam ni aku tengok dah kat Bataclan je 89 rock fans mati, tapi aku tahu ramai lagi cedera.. Terus terang cakap , tak dinafikan peluang aku yang giler sanggup backpack tengok bands aku minat main kat tempat pelik2 sambil menyusahkan diri, aku kot yang mungkin antara mati kena tembak? I mean ni aku cakap terang2 la kan? aku minat pengetahuan am, jadi aku memang minat untuk cuba (cuba ok, maklum aku lemah mental) mengabsorb, baca dari berbagai sumber, cuba memahamkan apa sebenarnye terjadi berkenaan pergolakkan dunia hari ni.. Aku cuba tak mau kena pengaruh ngan apa aku baca dan fikir sendiri dan nilai sendiri dari agama yang aku dididik. Pasal terang2 agama Islam merangkumi segalanya. Sifat Ehsan, sifat belas kasihan, sifat kasih sayang, CONSCIENCE DALAM HATI KITA, tolonglah jangan jadi mentaliti melayu jenis "busuk2 pun orang melayu jugak" nye mentaliti untuk defend apa pun keburukan orang melayu dah buat,(aku nak emphasis eh, Islam yang aku dididik, well, korang jangan lahar aku la, aku tahu dari blog ni rata2 ada korang tentu dengan bangga dan besar diri tahu aku banyak setan bertenggek atas kepala aku LOL!!) dan macam heran sey manusia dah jadi gini.. well... (sambil angkat bahu). Ada time baca kat bawah tu aku cut and paste salah satu laporan... then bayangkan.. part henfon berbunyik merata tu waktu ada dah mati, ada hidup tapi basah kuyup ngan darah, tapi bunyi henfon kat badan masing semua pasal mungkin kawan atau family tengah telepon, padahal tak tahu pun apa dah jadi.... Updated : Maka buat masa ni, sekurang2 nye DUA ORANG ISLAM DAH MATI SAMA, so adakah lagi sapa2 nak justify yang aku dan semua yang berduka cita tentang peristiwa ni diremeh-temehkan? Seorang dari nye ialah pelajar sampai tahap buat research ke hapa ke, dan research tu dilakukan waktu dia pergi ibadah di Mekah waktu buat pillgramage. Dia tengah kat salah satu cafe, yang diserang. Lagi satu ialah sepupu Diarra. Pemain France yang main kat Stade De France malam tu... So??? Well... (angkat bahu lagi).
This was Bataclan when I was there just last year...
One of the most memorable shows I had seen with the band EXTREME playing and both the band & audience were simply amazing at a majestic location.
On stage - Nuno Bettencourt was swearing on his children life that Paris has the best Extreme fans in the world or something.
A sold out show ( I got the ticket for this show about 6 months in advance I believe and I remember the balcony was already sold out by then) which is certainly made up of the Paris hardcore fans of the band Extreme.
It was a Monday evening, the Hellfest Music Festival of 3 days 3 nights I attended has just ended at Clisson, Nantes.
Without any sleep I rush back to Paris by train from Nantes, find my own way by their subways to the Republique Zone of Paris where Bataclan is, dump my backpack at a nearby cheapest lodging place I can find, grab some Halal food at the area (AND YES I AM A MUSLIM) and then to catch what I know will be amazing, Extreme playing in front of their 1500 Parisian fans in a historic place called LA BATACLAN which is 150 years old hall. (The same night Joe Satriani was playing at Olympia, another historic live music location in Paris)
But, less than 24 hours ago LA BATACLAN is full of blood and at least 89 death now. The rock band EODM was playing. I am very sad, Without sounding dramatic, I can visualise the entry of the attackers at the main entrance behind the fans who are all facing the stage, where the Merchandise stand is located and what happened next as describe by the fans who were there. The first report I read is the fan who was upstairs at the balcony, the second report is the one I copy and paste below at the end of this blog post. There is already a video posted on internet of footage facing the stage from a fan as the first gunshots began and the reaction of the band. Other videos are from the emergency exits. And some of the bodies who stumbled out did not move anymore. I dont think I'll paste the videos here.. Its just too depressing because these people are there to just ROCK! This is one of the reports of the fan who was watching EODM inside Bataclan. THE PHONE RINGINGS ON THE BOTH THE DEAD BODIES AND THE INJURED AND THE PRETEND TO BE DEAD AND THE HOSTAGES. Now that is chilling. Updated- IN CONCLUSION , as a Muslim, this attack is out of order. I just hope, common sense will prevail. Justice will prevail. And in this world, Good is not necessarily on the flag, is not necessarily in what you wear, is not neccessarily in what you say or proclaim. All these is wrong.
Loic Wiels could feel the bodies hitting the floor around him at a Paris music hall where a team of assailants opened fire Friday in one of France's deadliest terror attacks.
The bullets whizzed so close, he was hit by the wood splinters they sent flying. And under his feet he could feel the blood that had poured out of the wounded and the dead.
Wiels is one of four survivors of the assault on the Bataclan concert venue who recounted to AFP how he survived. At least 82 other people there were killed.
Just an hour prior Wiels had felt lucky to be among the crowd at the venue in eastern Paris. He had managed to get a ticket at the last minute for the Eagles of Death Metal concert, which was sold out.
In the packed hall, which can hold up to 1,500 spectators, the rock group had been playing for about 45 minutes when the explosions rang out.
Someone in the audience joked: "It's firecrackers."
"I turn around and I see two guys with Kalashnikovs. They were dressed normally: jeans and sneakers. At first I thought they were shooting in the air. Then I saw people falling over," said Sylvain Raballant, 42.
Everyone that was in the pit, like Wiels and Raballant, hit the floor.
"I saw three attackers, two of them clearly. One looked like a young guy, with a three-day beard. The other was closely shaved, wearing small eye glasses and some kind of yellow beret. He was also wearing what I took for a bullet-proof vest. It was actually an explosive vest," said Wiels.
Wiels, 33, is now struck by the "incomprehension in the room. I felt the blood on the floor, the shockwaves of the people falling around me. I got hit with woodchips sent flying by the bullets, but in the balcony nobody realised what was happening."
"They fired into the crowd and people tried to escape but the attackers said: 'If you move, we'll kill you,'" said Philippe, 35.
- 'We're going to die' -
He heard the attackers say: "What's happening to you, is your fault. We are avenging our brothers in Syria."
The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the series of attacks on the French capital, including the one on the Bataclan, that left nearly 130 people dead.
As the audience gradually understood they were caught in a siege, they tried to make themselves as invisible as possible.
But mobile phones were ringing, quickly followed by shooting. It seemed like every 15 seconds there was another shot.
Raballant saw people getting up and trying to escape and decided to do the same. But a fresh burst of gunfire sent him back to the floor with his "head in his hands, near the sound board."
"I couldn't move anymore. I tried not to even breathe. Next to me, there was a drunk guy who kept saying 'We're all going to die.' A couple of us whispered for him to shut up. There were also people who were moaning ... it was horrible," Raballant added.
Anthony, another survivor, said the fact that he was at the back of the room saved his life.
The moving crowd knocked him to the floor.
When he lifted his head, after a moment that lasted "between 30 seconds and 20 minutes...", he saw "a bearded guy, no mask, a gun in his hand," who was shooting methodically.
"I was waiting for the fatal shot," said Anthony.
"And then somebody yelled that they (attackers) were gone, everybody wanted to get out. I slipped in a pool of thick blood. We crawled, we climbed over people."
When Raballant saw the police he ran toward the bar, his hands on his head so as to not be taken for a shooter.
In the meantime, Wiels and Philippe, seizing the moment when the attackers went upstairs, rushed towards the exits.
"From the balcony they started shooting into the pit. When they backed up to reload I got up and I ran, I ran to the exit and I didn't stop until the Metro," said Philippe.
MaybeOne day Iwill return.... to this place calledBATACLAN.
Ritchie Blackmore and controversy are never far from each other. LOL!!
1) Ritchie Blackmore can do what he likes because HE IS THE Ritchie Blackmore. So Rainbow for only3 shows worldwide in 2016 - 2 in Germany and 1 in UK ( Loreley, Stuttgart and Birmingham) for the very very final time THE MAN IN BLACK IS playing Rainbow and Deep Purple songs and all this after 20 years of him going Medieval music with his wife Candice Night since about 1995?
2) The only 2016 UK show at Birmingham (the same indoor location of the Deep Purple Come Hell Or High Water video where he throws water on the cameraman during the first song Highway Star) is already SOLD OUT on the tickets website but on 3rd party websites the tickets are going up to reported 1000 POUNDS.
Although in most cases the ticket prices for the Birmingham show is about 4 to 6 times the original price.
3) Personally for me, the German dates of Loreley & Stuttgart is 5 days after Donington Park Download Festival 2016 (which the 2016 main-stage is shaping up to favour more of the METAL ELITISTS instead of Mainstream Modern Rock of KERRANG Magazine LOL!!!) so I have to start to day-dream / Building Castle In The Air of backpacking to both Donington 2016 and a German date for Rainbow.
For those hunting for tickets, and getting desperate, LOL!!!
Do take note - The Loreley show is I think accessible only thru its German Language and its very difficult to maneuver.
So if you are having difficulty then you have to quickly locate a 3rd party website and hope the price is still reasonable.
While the Stuttgart show website is also in German, but EVENTIM.de carries the Stuttgart ticket also and you can get it in English language for the online ordering.
I was lucky, I got a Loreley Ticket. It was immediately despatch by UPS courier once I did the transaction of online purchase.
- I believe this is the ticket, LOL!! ITS ALL IN GERMAN and I dont understand. (I MUST LISTEN TO MORE RAMMSTEIN!!! LOL!!!) Seems its free access, there is only one category... Seriously, I will be first in queue LOL!!!!!! - I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IS LORELEY, I google and seems its like 100KM from Frankfurt, I have travelled backpacked to Frankfurt to see Iron Maiden played before, so I guess I will just ask around about the train service to St Goar. Seems thats the railway station for Loreley. - Seems I have to cross the River Rhine from train station and most of the village/town to reach Loreley?? I really have no idea about that LOL!!... I am sure there will be lots of ferries?? LOL!. -Lodging??, I think the whole village / town will be fully packed with Rainbow Fans from ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!,
So as usual, I dont care if its a proper room, a converted barn or a storeroom, as long as I can put down my things, get a shower, change my clothes is all I need as I will be backpacking with just a huge haversack and another small haversack. Should be going for AIRBNB I think... - I DONT KNOW IF MY FANTASY TO TRAVEL WILL COME TRUE in 2016, If I cannot make it, at least I HAVE TRIED MY BEST and I will just cry and look at this ticket. LOL!!! (yes Laughing out loud at my pathetic idiotic foolishness of doing all these stupid backpacking to unknown scary places alone just to see my favourite bands play and basically in 2016 most of my favourite bands will play for the last time, and I try to catch what I am able to, and it will be kind of bitter sweet as MOTORHEAD was just added to be on the Donington Park bill 3rd from top Main Stage for Friday for Download Fest 2016. Maybe the last time ever..).
So this is Loreley, seems the Rainbow will play in some sort of historic amphitheater or something, seems like a Roman design of long ago? LOL!!!
Blackmore's Night band has a song called Loreley, I do hope out of 3 locations that Rainbow will play in 2016, I hope this is the one they record the DVD and I hope to be there LOL!!!
So lets have a day dream of the setlist...
I WILL GO FOR A MAJORITY RAINBOW SONGS WITH A BIT OF DEEP PURPLE, not to much DEEP PURPLE... Just a bit LOL!!!
Sincerely.. I LOVE STEVE MORSE in Deep Purple... He has brought so much into the band, and Don Airey (also a RAINBOW alumni who plays at the first Donington Park Monsters Of Rock 1980) have make Deep Purple still vibrant today...
So this is my dream setlist.
Rainbow to play 2hrs.. I day-dream and fantasize it will be something like this...
A Logical and possible Fantasy may I add.
Intro - Wizard Of Oz's Toto I dont think we're in Kansas anymore Somewhere Over The Rainbow...
1. KILL THE KING !!!
(Ritchie Blackmore can stop playing after this song and he stomp of stage and the whole show is cancelled after this one song, and I think I would have been very happy, seriously...).
2. Knocking At Your Back Door (I love this lyrically cunning song and I would want it to be played)
3. Lost In Hollywood or Drinking With The Devil.
4. Streets Of Dreams
5. Greensleeves (intro) & 16th Century Greensleeves
6. Mistreated
7. Difficult To Cure (I dont want this and rather go for even Weiss Heim or Child In Time but I think its 99.9% will be played)
8. Catch The Rainbow or Temple Of The King or Rainbow Eyes (yes.. I am dreaming for the last one because only Ronnie Dio can sing that LOL!!...)
9. STARGAZER
10. A Light In The Black (YES THIS IS MY FANTASY REMEMBER?? LOL!)
11. Man On The Silver Mountain
12. Smoke On The Water
encore
13. Gates Of Babylon
14. Since You Been Gone
15. Burn
16. Long Live Rock N Roll
special encore just because I am there LOL!!
17. WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW - Shirelles cover version. (LOL!!!!)
Yes.. This will never happened.. with the solos it will 3hrs!! LOL!!!
So about 10 songs with the solos will be quite right I think...
Anyway, I dont understand the complaints about the Rainbow 2016 lineup.
Rainbow is Ritchie Blackmore's band.
He can choose anyone he wants, and if he get 4 band members of his choice and wants to call it Rainbow, it will be Rainbow.
Ritchie Blackmore can be the most unusual character, but definitely he knows whats he's doing.
And all these complaints?
I sincerely believe the first time 99% of you COMPLAINANTS have heard names of Doogie White/ Jimmy Bain/ Bobby Rodinelli/ Tony Carey/ RONNIE JAMES DIO, David Coverdale even Cozy Powell
is by a Ritchie Blackmore band. Most got famous by playing with him.
I think Ritchie Blackmore biggest blunder is not reforming Rainbow when Cozy Powell was alive and before he met the road accident.
I still stand Rainbow Rising is the best band lineup I ever like as a little boy up to now. I LOVE MY IRON MAIDEN, but RAINBOW... Simply its a thunder in my heart for that name - RAINBOW because as a little boy growing up in a village, not even knowing any English, and it was Rainbow that I hear, and I was simply fascinated with the ruckus that this band makes. This was long before I first hear Iron Maiden and my life changed. LOL!! In addition, never have there been five men more good looking in a photo than Rainbow Rising. LOL!!! Ritchie Blackmore can have anyone he wants, Rainbow is his band, and Ritchie Blackmore is no one is like him, ever.... with his attitude problems LOL!! and as long as he is happy, and myself - as a Rainbow/Deep Purple moderate song listener (LOL!!!), I am happy.
Anyway, please... the keyboardist he is choosing is the Dio's LOCKED UP THE WOLVES album keyboardists, I cant believe YOU COMPLAINANTS never realise that? Also who also plays for Yngwie Malmsteen's RISING FORCE FIRST album till LIVE IN LENINGRAD, and I cant believed the COMPLAINANTS are overlooking it, and now in STRATOVARIUS I think?
and the rhythm section is his own Blackmore's Night.
The singer I am sure Ritchie Blackmore can spot talent, anyway, there is none like Ronnie James Dio/like peak form of Ian Gillan or David Coverdale/ or even Joe Lynn Turner or Graham Bonnet.
So thats it, I think this blog post is my personal tribute to Rainbow...
It will be 8 months from now...
I really have no idea if I can save up to perform my backpacking in 2016 alone, and trust me as usual I will be scared, but the motivation is strong and I will push myself.
I plan for a slightly lesser than 2 weeks backpacking at minimum cost especially for finding a lodging place for Donington 2016 and Rainbow, and it does bother me like if I am still working at the same place, if I can take leave from work, and if I am still alive...? or ensure my love ones are all priority in life well provided first before I can plan for this trip.
But.. lets see how it goes....
p.s
And anyway, I think its the biggest cheer that, it seems news is that the promoter for Download Festival Donington Park gives Iron Maiden a list of bands which Iron Maiden can choose to be the band to play Main Stage just before Maiden.
Means the first band below the headliners Iron Maiden on Main Stage Sunday...
and thats why Nightwish is there - 2nd from top... because Iron Maiden choose them.. and definitely Nighwish will headline Donington one day in the future. The new singer is simply metal and I like what I see on youtube.. She is really good and simply metal to me.
Nightwish is playing in Singapore coming soon, I wish I can go but I have to save up and try to make it for my 2016 dream fantasy, and its a wonderful surprise to see Nightwish announced for Donington 2016 Download Festival.
It will be simply amazing evening.... I hope they arrange for Nightwish to play a full set of maybe 90-100 minutes with the full production. That will be amazing, and after that Iron Maiden comes out all guns blazing for 2 hours of techno and dance music. LOL!!
This post was typed with Phil Collins - Something Happened On The Way To Heaven on repeat. One of the best music videos ever LOL!! Woof! Woof!! I think Phil Collins always have the best music videos... The bassist on the video is the one who plays for TOTO too.. LOL!! And he appears again with Eric Clapton for the amazing music video of I Wish It Would Rain Down. ok ok.. that is for next time blogpost.
Post ni sekali lagi aku sumbat semua apa aku nak cerita... Semua takde kena mengena satu sama lain.
Tiga Perkara.
1) Wings nye bootleg aku tape untuk koleksi peribadi aku tu hari aku dah upload kat youtube untuk sapa berminat.
Sapa tak tahu apa tu low quality fan-audience personal bootleg yang tak edited tak apa, tak yah nak lahar... Korang tunggu je la official release. Untuk sapa yang berminat aje... PLEASE.
2) Aku nak sambung aku ngan famili aku gi Southern Coast of UK tu hari... So far Isle Of Wight je aku sempat borak...
Aku nak tunjuk korang kita pakai AirBnb or holidaylettings untuk basically jimat duit dan boleh masak, ada proper living place.. tak yah la hotel2 tu semua mahal la kalau korang gi ngan family atau group. Sorang ok la tapi aku dah plan, aku kalau ada peluang backpacking sorang2 lain kali untuk tengok Iron Maiden bermain kat mana2, aku dah tak nak pakai backpackers pun, semua aku nak pakai airbnb, dapat bilik store room pun rumah orang pun janji aku boleh mandi, tukar baju, letak bag aku, tido kejap dah... Aku bukan duk diam pun, siang explore jalan kaki tengok apa menarik, malam aku tengok Iron Maiden main.
Aku rasa ni la cara paling murah... pasal aku kalau Iron Maiden headline festivals pun ada tempat camping pun aku sorang2 aku tak mau la lagipun for personal reasons, aku sanggup naik bas atau find a way ulang alik gi festival site setiap hari.
Ni dapur tu hari, NAMPAK TAK SABUN SERTU TU?? haha..
Aku keluarkan sikit demi sedikit semua pinggan mangkuk kuali2 periuk2 belanga tuan rumah semua aku sertu sendiri semua...... Semoga Allah menerima sertu aku ni yang memang bodoh dalam benda2 agama. haha.
So lepas tu gi pasaraya ke hapa ke beli semua masak sendiri.. save duit masak nasik semua boleh...
dan dont worry Insyallah mana pun kita berada, makanan halal boleh jumpa senang dan ni kita gi ni jalan sikit belakang rumah ada jual daging halal mentah...
...so macam aku cakap sekarang dah possible untuk travel kalau tactical. Tapi sapa atas angin nye orang, tak yah baca la ni semua LOL!!...
Nampak tu washing machine? hah, pakai pakai pakai.. tapi sabun beli lebih, last day tinggalkan sikit untuk tuan rumah atau next orang masuk rumah tu..So baju pakai basuh pakai basuh...
yang ni kita tak pakai airbnb, yang ni kita pakai holidaylettings.. sama je la dua2 website ni..
K nanti sambung la certain part of Southern Coast of England aku ngan famili aku gi tu hari...
nanti k kalau ada kesempatan, kalau takde sorry la, tapi last few post aku dah tunjuk Isle Of Wight, cammana explore kat sana semua pakai pengangkutan bas awam je...
3) ok ok, ni hal aku lak.. haha...
ni aku nak share angan2 mat jenin aku untuk 2016. Ni mungkin lagi giler dari aku nye 2104 Hellfest/BelgradeSerbia nye backpack sorang2 Iron Maiden nye pasal LOL!!
pasal 2016 nanti bulan puasa ni semua... wahhh fikiran ok...
Seriously, aku tahu memang susah angan2 mat jenin aku untuk 2016, tapi aku kena ada tekad. Betul tak?
Dan benda2 gini memang kena buat persiapan awal....
Kalau betul last minit tak dapat pergi... Duduk termenung je la kan? apa nak buat...
So ni angan2 Cita2 Mat Jenin aku untuk 2016... (Iron Maiden / Rainbow nye pasal dan of course pasal ni kali terakhir Black Sabbath nak The End, dan dorang akan main Donington, so aku berazam nak gi lagi sekali Donington 2016)
So far Download Festival kat Donington dah umum headliner pentas utama je untuk setiap hari/malam.
Donington selalu nye ada dalam mungkin 80-100 bands main dari pagi sampai malam kat 5 pentas berlainan ikut size masing2, selama tiga hari tiga malam tu...
Aku harap ada 5, 6 band lain yang aku minat aku dah happy dalam berpuluh2 dorang nak umum nanti...
Banyak sangat band aku minat pun tak guna kalau clash dan aku malas nak datang awal..
Donington 2013 aku pergi, antara clash paling SENGAL dan memang sangat sengal pun, MOTORHEAD main stage utama, dan THUNDER main stage kedua SERENTAK.
Paling selenger nye clash... Dua2 band rok hebat UK, kat festival rock UK, depan peminat2 muzik UK sendiri dorang gi clash kan ni dua band dari UK?
Dan band2 yang aku minat main tolonglah letak semua petang onwards.
pasal aku nak tidur dan aku nak gi explore2 la kan dah sampai area sana...
PUAKA paling besar aku dah rasa bila UFO main kul 11 pagi.. Aku dah kena naik bas dari Derby.. Siot!! 11 PAGI letak UFO main! UFO ok...
Hellfest pun celaka jugak... Hellfest 2014 aku pergi.. korang tahu sapa main kul 11 pagi kat Altar nye pentas? IMPIETY. haha. Giler kesiangan aku rush dari Nantes naik train gi Hellfest nye site kat Clisson pasal aku tak camping, aku carik tempat tidur kat Nantes.
Sebenarnya, aku dah sedih giler Rainbow takkan main Donington 2016. Kalau korang masuk internet, memang boleh rasa peminat2 muzik semua hampa ok...
Bayangkan Black Sabbath/Iron Maiden/Rainbow main Donington 2016 sama2...?
So pasal Rainbow akan main kat Jerman hari jumaat dan sabtu selepas Donington nye weekend,
aku nak cuba carik tiket.. AKU TAK TAHU CAMMANA PASAL WEBSITE SEMUA CAKAP JERMAN!!!!!!
Aku dah pernah tengok Iron Maiden main kat Jerman tapi tu jam website tiket untuk Iron Maiden ada cakap Orang Putih, tapi Rainbow nye tikets penjualan dia semua lain punye website.. Semua berbual JERMAN!
Aku akan cuba..... Aku speku yang show ketiga dia kat Birmingham, peminat satu dunia akan pergi.. Japan confirm ramai aku speku........ nampaknye RAINBOW akan main tiga show sahaja seluruh dunia.
KAN ?? KORANG PERASAN?? Semua rock akan main kat BIRMINGHAM atau rantau Midlands UK pasal tu la jantung dia...
Sebab tu aku tak dapat tengok Sabbath main kat Birmingham, aku nak gi tengok kat Donington pasal tu cuma 50KM dari Birmingham dan tu pasal dari 1980 Monsters Of Rock pertama diadakan kat Donington pasal tu la zone peminat rock orang putih. Pertembungan antara Derby, Leicester, Notingham dan Birmingham. Working Class People gitu....
So tengok cammana nanti.. Aku plan lepas Donington aku gi explore mana2 tempat yang aku boleh duduk berapa hari ngan murah, then RAINBOW!!!
Istimewa Rainbow ni untuk aku, dan ramai orang ok... RAINBOW.. berdegup jantung ok.
Aku tak pedulik Loreley tu mana tempat, tapi aku paling penting nak tiket...
Stutgart ok la bandar aku pernah dengar pasal team bola dia haha...
Anyway...
Ni aku cakap ni bukan nak apa, mungkin sebagai perangsang kat korang jugak.....
Aku type gini korang ingat aku tak nervous??
Ye la, zaman ni mana pun sapa pun tak dijanjikan pekerjaan tetap kan... rezeki, kesihatan, welfare love ones kita mesti priority before all else. Of course dengan responsibility, tanggungjawab kat love ones korang dan semua je la dalam dunia realiti,
tapi tetap dalam hati ada sikit tu nak hurray2 jugak... dan memang benda2 gini yang menghuray2kan hati aku.. haha....
Salam Semua. Aku type ni dalam bas ekpress sambil dengar rakaman bootleg semalam. YES!! I tape the whole show. Air hujan masuk mic pun takpe.. special nite. Maaf ye bahasa tunggang langgang dan aku nak post ni kat blog, aku realise aku tertiba kejap type english tetiba type melayu. Maaf ye aku main type je apa dalam kepala hotak. Kalau tak buat gini, sebulan pun aku tak dapat buat blog posting ni...
Untuk korang yang tak mau baca, cuma nak tahu setlist je, susah aku nak type je setlist tanpa bilang sikit pun apa yang istimewa untuk setiap lagu tu... K, ni dia... Pilihan lagu yang sangat gerek dan rare.
(4 hours dalam hujan dan berdiri dalam lumpur mostly kebanyakkan cuma Wings sahaja tapi sedikit tu, in some parts ada muncul Mus, Mel, Sham Wings, Jojet, Edrie Hashim, Hillary Ang, M Nasir. )

ROMANIA (some korus replace ngan Malaysia) JUMPA HILANG PENGABDIAN KU KEKASIH ENJET - ENJET SEMUT - Awie with audience WHEN THE SMOKE IS GOING DOWN - Awie plays acoustic guitar and performs solo SATELIT PUAKA -- Awie ngan akustik gitar perform solo lagu ni dia buat dua suara "rough spoken words" kat intro dan terus nyanyi cam biasa sorang2 ngan gitar dia. Kumpulan Wings lain join untuk ending sahaja. AWIE SPEECH AGAIN - Pasal Wings nye members bergaduh dulu, cium mulut balik, persahabatan, members in and out. Introduce each member except Jojet ikut kata Awie belum sampai. Technical problem nak setup second stage "island" jadi ada delay.
Awie introduce SHAM WINGS, Roddy Kristal (support pakai akusitik guitar), MEL WINGS, Edrie Hashim, and of course MUS May. Awie called him up using name Mustafa.
Awie buat jokes perkenakan Mus (May) teruk2... Pasal Mus May semalam nak pakai tumit tinggi boots kumpulan KISS, pinjam GENE SIMMONS.. Ni segmen aku nak tengok official DVD ada ke takde, Awie sakat Roddy Kristal teruk jugak...
K aku stop cerita banyak sangat, ni suppose to be a short setlist info aje. panjang2 kat bawah nanti. Medley starts - INTAN KU KESEPIAN - Awie first, Mel 2nd, Mus 3rd - Mus is amazing... BIRU MATA HITAMKU - Mus.. Audience did the Wooo Hoooo!!!! for him. BELENGGU IRAMA - again the schooldays urban legend "Jesus Christ" verse skipped, tapi extended to guitar solo section - SHAM WINGS solo untuk lagu ni. POTRET MONALISA MISTERI MIMPI SYAKILA- Mus.. simply amazing. DI AMBANG WATI - start from "Terbukak Hendaknye...", intro Edrie solo I think. SEMALAM YANG HANGAT - one of the loudest singalongs and one of the loudest cheers for Mel when he sings his part. Best sangat bila kat lagu ni.
Everyone exits. M Nasir enters. Drummer Paei/Guitars Eddrie Hashim, Hillary Ang/Bassist sapa? Fly?. M Nasir talka a bit about Wings. HIKAYAT PENUH RANJAU - M Nasir and this band plays HIKAYAT PENUH RANJAU. A Glorious Monster Version. One of my fave moments last night. I always have love this song and last night's version was awesome to the maximum.
Video screen tak tunjuk live footage, tapi photo montage Wings sepanjang zaman. JOJET starts drum solo. After quite some time, BLACK JOINS JOJET for drum solo. ROCK N ROLL LU PUNYA SUKA (pakai dua drummer, Awie main rhythm guitar,
Mus join in, MUS buang microfon kat lantai pasal frustration, Giler ah. Semua berlaku kat lagu ni). [edited - I think Mus join in JDA nye lagu kot? Bukan RNRLuPunyaSuka? haha.. Sengal betul aku dah lupa, rasa JDA yang dia hempas Microfon, forgot which song but now I think its Jerangkung instead LOL] JERANGKUNG DALAM ALMARI (masih dua drummer, Awie rythim guitar, Mus still on stage. Song ends Jojet exit) BLUES ULAR SAWA - Mus vocals, Awie first solo guitar, Joe Wings did some vocals. Mus nye period zaman dengan Wings was damn heavy. (end song Mus exit) MENAKLUK KOSMOS - with a problem before solo so Awie add lyrics - Sabar.. macam2 hal bila hujan.. LOL!!! Yes, the rain is failling and its so cold and soaking wet LOL!!! INGATKAN DIA - audience was singing this new song loudly.. SAYAP ILUSI - ok, kesat air mata mengalir. LOL!!!! AMUK TAMAN RASHIDAH UTAMA - ORIGINAL INTRO COMPLETES WITH THUNDER AND RAIN SOUND EFFECT... HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!!!.. Siap ada pause sebelum Black masuk untuk Joe Gitar Solo. I say again - HAPPINESS!! ILUSI INTONASI - Hillary Ang tanpa diumum masuk pentas joins in Joe untuk lagu ni. Video screen tak tunjuk live screen, tapi photo montage.
Among them of the many in the photo montage -
Arwah Loloq.
Arwah Seha Freedom.
JOE WINGS SOLO KOTA KEMUSNAHAN RANGGI METROPOLIS NASIB KITA - surprise!! and its clear the fans are happy and singalong to this song.Dah macam Choir. Mus adalah kan ni lagu. haha. HUKUM KARMA OPERA HIDUP - sense of urgency is felt as it seems Wings is kept on being asked to stop the show but Wings wants to play what they plan for the audience who came.
I think then its already 2.30 AM.. Keliling semua hotel2 ok, tourists mesti heran tengah2 bandar kul 2.30 pagi masih rock n roll. Opera Hidup dah lagu happening gitu nak singalong dan hurray-hurray. SEJATI - original intro. Last ending Awie did the "kenangan itu(Awie - KENANGAN ITU!!!)" twice. I am happy twice.
Untuk aku yang fed-up everytime tengok Wings main mesti kena ada lagu ni, Jatuh dan bangun nye lagu ni kalau Wings main live ialah kat bahagian tu. HAHAHA. PERONDA JAKET BIRU - still they got time to play this song.
Abis je, Wings kan buat instrumental penutup terus cam kena matikan sound eh? pasal abrupt ending haha. Black nye sound kena shutdown kan? haha.
Audience sudah " WE WANT MORE!!! WE WANT MORE!!!! " hahaha siot la korang...
Dah lebih 4 jam, dah kul 2.45 pagi... Mau kang Wings terpengsan atas stage hahaha.
One of the best shows I attended in my whole life.
Maybe the best show due to weather factor in an open space and the 4 hours length.
Aku tak agak kalau dvd dan full cd keluar pun akan ada full recording tanpa sebarang edit. Pasal alot of things were happening last night LOL. 4 JAM 5 minit, 26 Lagu Full,7 medley tapi medley pun complete guitar solos semua... ni belum campur drum solos dua drummer, gitar solo belum campur Awie nye stage banter, belum campur When The Smoke Is Going Down Scorpions lagik, all in all, I am lucky to be at the show. LOL!! And dari atas ni, then we can come to the conclusion kenapa Awie asyik sebut 33 LAGU (26+7) je kan masa dorang dah kena arah untuk berhentikan persembahan. Its really 33 lagu dorang memang plan belum campur solos, dan tease2 tu semua.. or is it Medley tu each song kira half song? Well... so jadi 30? Tapi I wish Rantai was played LOL!!
K thats all untuk ringkasan sapa nak tahu setlist je dengan a bit info. Tetapi.... Report Ulasan Review Pandangan yang Detailed a bit more & I try to be in detail so you can imagine the fun I had... , down here....
K Sebelum aku lupa, baik aku lekas2 type apa aku ingat pasal apa paling penting jadi semalam, iaitu sepanjang kumpulan Wings beraksi diatas pentas sambut 30 Tahun di Stadium Merdeka, KL dalam berdiri dalam hujan lebat, hujan renyai2, gerimis, redup (alternate) dengan semua pakaian basah kuyup dan footwear semua dah tenggelam dalam lumpur padang.
Yang lain2 tu aku akan full review lain kali ngan Tribute Bands yang main antara 9.30 to 10.30 malam, tu pun kalau aku ada mood, but I did bootleg the whole thing. Siang nye aksi aku tak tahu apa jadi k, aku datang kul 5, beli tshirt satu, jumpa boyfren lama si Zan, terus aku keluar dari situ lepak tempat lain. But the busker act outside the stadium sounds really great for the few moments I was around.
Merdeka Stadium ni terbaik, untuk pengguna public transport dan mereka yang berjalan kaki.. Banyak tempat nak gi lepak, if you get what I mean. LOL!!!
K, Wings tampil di atas pentas kul 10.40 malam gitu.
Wings tamat 2.45pagi.
Yep its around 4 jam 5 minit.
OK Start review
10.40 malam
Jumbo screen kiri kanan main some ads acknowledge sponsors malam tadi dengan gunakan lagu2 dan video klips band2 rock dan lagu2 rock omputeh yang well know. So you have ACDC, Loudness, GNR, and lots more. I think Two Minutes To Midnight nye intro pun ada.
Then keyboards intro start and ahli Wings join the intro dengan some warm ups dan tunings.
Its just Wings empat orang with Keyboards player.
Terus masuk frst song BAZOOKA PENAKA. It was raining....
Then second song, Surprise!!! the original intro of INSPIRASI TAMING SARI is played, not the Rockestra version. Aku tahu ni malam confirm extra special.
Bujang Senang next and surprise with original intro, sebelum revert balik zaman ni nye rokestra style.
AWIE FIRST SPEECH for the night, dia cakap pasal penonton2 semua diri dalam hujan, peminat2 dari Bangladesh, Myanmar pun semua turun sambut Wings 30 Tahun. Among others.
ORANG KITA - a raptous version. Great Song as always.
Next song is a huge surprise. Dari album Jerangkungs - GEMALA SAKTIKU. Wings nail this song yesterday.
AWIE SECOND SPEECH - Dia acknowledge hujan menyebabkan banyak masalah teknikal.
ROMANIA next, as usual Awie akan replace some korus. Kalau kat Singapore pun dia akan ganti Romania ngan Singapura.
JUMPA HILANG. Dahsyat. Unsangkarable choice of songs tonight so far. Banyak lagu rare yang gerek2 semua dorang korek balik. Awie top form. Pekik kat ending semua.
PENGABDIAN KU KEKASIH - same intro macam rokestra tu hari, Awie ngan Joe peluk at penghabisan intro dorang dua sama2. Awie ada some masalah bila lagu ni start fully ni, but this song still rocks.
ENJET - ENJET SEMUT. Awie solo with audience singalong.
Awie then ngan gitar akustik. Some monitor issues then dia main WHEN THE SMOKE IS GOING DOWN. Stops before chorus.
AWIE ngan akustik gitar sambung solo sorang2 - SATELIT PUAKA. Awie buat suara rough kat intro sebelum nyanyi ni lagu secara solo dengan gitar akustik nye saje. Anggota Wings lain join in kat penghabisan lagu ni untuk ending korus few times.
AWIE SPEECH AGAIN - Pasal Wings nye members bergaduh dulu, cium mulut balik, persahabatan, members in and out. Introduce each member except Jojet ikut kata Awie belum sampai. Technical problem nak setup second stage "island" jadi ada delay.
Awie introduce SHAM WINGS, Roddy Kristal (support pakai akusitik guitar), MEL WINGS, Edrie Hashim, and of course MUS May. Awie called him up using name Mustafa.
Awie buat jokes perkenakan Mus (May) teruk2... Pasal Mus May semalam nak pakai tumit tinggi boots kumpulan KISS, pinjam GENE SIMMONS.. Awie sampai terlupa nak jemput Eddie gi kat second stage yang Island kat depan penonton tu.
Ni segmen aku nak tengok official DVD ada ke takde, Awie sakat Roddy Kristal teruk jugak...
Biasalah Awie mesti nak buat GAY JOKES. Dia ada hots for Rody Kristal. LOL!!! and some other stuffs korang gi check out sendiri la or kat youtube...
(Edit with additional notes - Aku terfikir cammana nak keluar full dvd atau cd ni kalau ada masalah licensing dan publishing dengan lain2 artis dari lain2 syarikat rakaman? Korang tahu kan LOVEHUNTERS final concert yang dorang main 3 jam tu kan ada RAMLI SARIP join in untuk Demi Cinta, Bayang-Bayang dan BLUES UNTUK RAKYAT. Mana ada dalam dvd rasmi? Tapi korang nak lagu2 ni aku ada upload kat youtube channel aku pasal aku bootleg show malam tu... RUGI kan? So lets see how it goes)
Awie sampai lup panggil Eddie gi kat Island depan masa nak perform lagu ni. Hillarious.
Medley starts -
INTAN KU KESEPIAN - Awie first, Mel 2nd, Mus 3rd - Mus is amazing...
BIRU MATA HITAMKU - Mus.. Audience did the Wooo Hoooo!!!! for him.
BELENGGU IRAMA - again the schooldays urban legend "Jesus Christ" verse skipped, tapi extended to guitar solo section - SHAM WINGS solo untuk lagu ni. Lagu ni ada part Awie suruh Mel nyanyi macam Bruce Dickinson pekik kat Adrian Smith untuk nyanyi korus Wasted Years sorang2 live. LOL!!! "MEL!!!"
POTRET MONALISA
MISTERI MIMPI SYAKILA
DI AMBANG WATI - start from "Terbukak Hendaknye...", intro Edrie solo I think.
SEMALAM YANG HANGAT - one of the loudest singalongs and one of the loudest cheers for Mel when he sings his part. Best sangat bila kat lagu ni.
Everyone exits. M Nasir enters. Drummer Paei/Guitars Eddrie Hashim, Hillary Ang/Bassist sapa? Fly?. M Nasir talka a bit about Wings.
M Nasir and this band plays HIKAYAT PENUH RANJAU. A Glorious Monster Version.
M Nasir cerita pertama kali jumpa Wings, pasal dorang dapat jual 10,000 unit dah bagus, sekali ratusan ribu gitu... Patut la masa tribute bands main antara kul 9.40 sampai 9.30 malam gitu ngan Ito, dan lain2 M Nasir takde, rupanya dorang nak M Nasir masa dalam persembahan Wings sendiri, jadi aku rasa Wings boleh ambik breather keja....
Nak abis lagu ni M Nasir nye nasik tambah sangat terbaik..... Ni antara paling best semalam masa lagu ni, UNTUK AKU LA< pasal aku suka giler lagu ni.... Terbaik sepanjang zaman. Anyway ni lagu M Nasir kan hahaha....
Video Montage tak tunjuk live footage atas pentas, tunjuk photo2 montage ahli kumpulan Wings dari dulu sampai sekarang.. Lagi satu lagu tunjuk foto2 montage ialah Ilusi Intonasi. That one is sad.
Abis je terus semua exit dan tetiba...
JOJET starts drum solo. Baru sampai ke Jojet? takde introduction takde apa... Dorang atas pentas memang dah ada 2nd drum set selain Black punye.
After quite some time,
BLACK JOINS JOJET for drum solo. Meriah.
Masih dengan dua drummer, BLACK dan JOJET
terus masuk lagu ROCK N ROLL LU PUNYA SUKA.
Awie main rhythm guitar, dia pun nyanyi. MUS sepatutnya join in nyanyi tapi microfon yang Mus pakai takde sound, Mus fedup, tech ambik mic tu, MUS ambik mic Awie untuk nyanyi, tech kasi balik satu microfon kat MUS, Mus happy la ada microfon, tapi bila Mus nyanyi je he realise takde sound, so dia buang microfon tu kat lantai in frustration so lagi sekali dia ambik microfon Awie).
JERANGKUNG DALAM ALMARI - masih Black dan Jojet dua orang drumming, Awie masih main rhythm guitar, Mus still around).
Jojet exits. Awie did mentioned supaya sama2 berdoa kesihatan Jojet.
BLUES ULAR SAWA -- Awie first solo, dan ending solo dia solo ngan Joe, Mus did most of vocals, lepas solo nye verse Joe nyanyi.
Lepas Mus exit, Awie borak2 sikit pasal Wings nye album baru...
Wings main MENAKLUK KOSMOS - what a nice live song.... Before Joe solo ada problem lagi, Awie nasik tambah liriks - Sabar... Macam2 hal bila hujan...... lagu ni korus dia sangat catchy...
then INGATKAN DIA - popular song among the audience... intro je audience dah bersorak... lagu baru audience dah singalong, that is a good sign.
Aku suka WINGS macam gini, main2 lagu baru, dan lagu2 baru gerek bila live... Apa tu Iron Maiden ke sapa cakap? Jangan jadi band kaberet?
SAYAP ILUSI - Lagu ni kan, tak pernah tak touching, lirik dia cantik sangat. Tak paham la, tapi ayat2 dia cantik...
AMUK - WTF!!! surprise after surprise.... seperti biasa lagu ni gerek...
Next song Awie sebut "TAK PAYAH NAK CAKAP".. dan masuk bunyi hujan dan guruh... dah la memang hujan sejuk giler basah kuyup waktu... Awie dah waktu ni dah cakap Wings nak pecah rekod malam ni..
TAMAN RASHIDAH UTAMA - bunyi guruh, bunyi hujan, intro asli macam dalam kaset, Siap Black ada pause ngan sound efek sebelum Black masuk untuk Joe start solo...
Bayangkan dah lama ok sangat, aku rasa not since 2005 la, 2005 aku tahu pasal aku ada bootleg as evidence Wings perform style original, maybe 2008? 2009? 2010? lepas tu dah... tonggeng frust dengar dan tengok Wings setiap kali main live buat style versi Rockestra. AKHIRNYA!!!! Ending pun Joe solo menyolo... wahhhh... happiness la ok.. worth it basah kuyup, aku pakai kasut sukan abis dah tu jam stokin semua dah berserap lumpur dah hahaha.. kasut tak yah cakap...
Awie exits, dan tanpa ada introduction HILLARY ANG masuk dan start ILUSI INTONASI ngan Joe Wings... Kalau tak tengok pentas tak tahu pun Hillary Ang... Pasal lagu ni video screen semua tak tunjuk live footage, tapi mainkan foto demi foto...
Macam aku cakap kat atas, ramai la one by one by one.. last part ada foto Seha. Freedom Rules.
JOE WINGS abis je lagu ni terus GUITAR SOLO..
and of course terus masuk KOTA KEMUSNAHAN.
Awie introduced the 4 ladies doing backing vocals... memang teruk la kot dorang 4 orang malam tu ngan setlist cam gini LOL!! Aku tengok lagu belum abis dah kelam kabut duduk...
Confirm backing singers mesti penat berdiri LOL!!
Awie terus cakap dia tak mau cakap banyak. Aku rasa dia keep kena signal untuk berhenti kan show.. Tapi Wings tetap main jugak pasal nak break record, dan dorang tentu nak mainkan full show yang dorang plan untuk semua peminat yang hadir...
AWIE ada part dah cakap "dah masuk waktu SAHUR!!!"..
RANGGI METROPOLIS - this song always is a live favorite. The singing along.... the solos...
NASIB KITA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bayangkan audience nye excitment masa lagu ni. Audience boleh rasa happy lagu ni dimainkan dan of course I think ramai singalong.
PAKAIAN - Awie dah macam Ultimate Warrior la...
Pasal first dressing ialah dorang nak tiru zaman 80an dorang haha.
Black dressing paling pengsi, tshirt design rising sun merah putih la gitu sikit lebih kurang, seluar merah...
tapi lepas tu dorang tukar2 baju la....
Full review, apa suka apa tak suka pun susah nak cakap, tapi allow aku to say, aku kureng sikit pasal apa yang tiket 85RM boleh nampak dengan banyak lindung dan all that crap..
I am happy those in ticket 85RM invade gi depan... Seriously baru ada life sikit. LOL!!!!
Happening fans should always be in front of stage. Pasal dorang provide the positive energy.
Seluruh waktu ni, hujan kejap renyai2, kejap gerimis, kejap berenti..... Sejuk jangan cakap la.. makin lama kaki aku makin tenggelam dalam lumpur... Bahaya ok, jalan tak betul NANGKA BUSUK ok jatuh... hhaha.
Tapi even waktu ni dah masuk 3 jam lebih, aku rasa aku tengah menyaksikan sesuatu yang sangat BERSEJARAH, sesuatu yang akan menjadi "I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT"" moment untuk masa depan. Cewahhhh....
Lepas lagu Nasib Kita, Awie cakap lagi dorang dah diarahkan BERHENTI...
Ye la siak, kawasan tu semua hotel2 tourist2 semua complain tak boleh tidur kot...
hahahaha.....
Terus masuk HUKUM KARMA... terus aku macam.. ha ah la, banyak fans favourite belum main lagi hahaha...
OPERA HIDUP - Awie dah cakap "mintak izin kat pihak berkuasa kasi Wings capai cita2 mereka abiskan semua lagu untuk mereka yang hadir".
Another happening version of this song. Ada masih headbanging ok.. haha... Thats the spirit.
Dah penat, dah macam2, dah berat dah semua kena basah kuyup hujan, Awie lagi boleh buat kelakar, bilang audience, next song nyanyi pelan2, jadi orang kat luar stadium tak dengar.
What a laugh.
Tapi terus masuk SEJATI. Ori ok, aku happy ni malam, lagu2 yang aku fed-up ngan rokestra version intros semua dimainkan semula ngan original version.
Awie nyanyi part feberet aku tu yang kenangan itu...(KENANGAN ITU!!!) .. DUA KALI OK!! Aku happy la kan...hahaa.....
As expected, mass particiapation la kan audience lagu ni.. yang lawaknye aku suka peminat pun semua suka join in part yang nasik tambah masa last part tu hahaha.... yang pekik2 tu semua... fans la kan...
Abis je lagu ni, terus masuk PERONDA JAKET BIRU. Versi yang sangat rancak...
Abis je kan korang tahu Wings suka buat instrumental penutup tu, tertiba mati siak hahaha... Aku speku kena shutdown sound atas stage.
Sapa korang yang WE WANT MORE WE WANT MORE WE WANT MORE!!!! haha....
K conclusion,
Lokasi Bersejarah, Persembahan Bersejarah. This show will be talked about in the future. Confirm. Aku happy aku was there to witness it.
Man Of The Match aku semalam - Walau semua best, dan memang semalam sound bagus so memang clear sangat la Eddie nye bass memang cover semua la lagu Wings ni.. Joe dalam hujan with all the technical problems masih cam takde hal, dan of course Black senyum je, oooo lagu apa? lagu R N R lu punya suka kot? Dia sudah cam PHIL RUDD la, rokok kat bibir, drumming laju. LOL!!! Tapi Man Of The Match aku... AWIE. Year by year dia nye showmanship, control pentas dah makin dah tahap Bruce Dickinson. Siap main gitar teringatkan aku Bruce support Revelations masa zaman Live After Death (World Slavery Tour) ngan jadi 3rd guitarist. 3 HIGHLIGHTS PALING BEST PERSEMBAHAN INI 3rd - Satelit Puaka (Awie solo ngan gitar akustic, dua suara - rough dan biasa, band masuk part abis) 2nd - M Nasir nye Hikayat Sepanjang Ranjau. - Aku rasa its a big honour M Nasir dan his huge big names backing band perform one song kat somewhere tengah2 Wings tengah dalam 33 lagu nye setlist). 1st - PENONTON SEKELILING AKU MALAM TU. Hujan/Hujan renyai2/Hujan Gerimis/Sejuk giler/Berdiri 5 jam? 6jam? 7 jam? BERDIRI KAT LUMPUR BERLOPAK TERUK GILER...
Aku kasi semua settle down reda dulu, nanti aku just share some sound yang aku tape k...
kejap nanti aku senang aku buat cover sebelum upload.. hehehehe...
BYE... sorry eh ni report, ulasan, review, pandangan, pendapat, laporan persembahan konsert Wings menyambut 30 Tahun di Stadium Merdeka tersangat huru-hara.
Aku harap korang paham apa aku type. Bas ekpres aku naik ni dah la bergoyang goyang hahaha. K bye.
P.s walaupun aku berpeluang backpacking tengok iron maiden headline festivals ngan bands lain, atau main show dorang sendiri.. aku dah rasa donington park mahupun hellfest, tapi rock melayu tetap best.. aku bangga jadi peminat rock melayu.. never underestimate malay rock music.. ni lagi satu contoh terbaik wings 30 years ni..
UPDATED 6/11/2015 (actually atas tu kaler kuning and kaler oren pun aku update tapi semalam kot?)
I upload this just.... in case anyone is interested.. its actually for my own personal collection as a memory of the night
