Saturday, March 27th was one of the best days I had in 2010. simply because at that day I had the chance to watch their performance live in Sabuga, Bandung. Yeah, I've been waiting for this day from January, I think.
For you who didn’t have the chance to attend the show, oh how unlucky you are.
After waiting for about 6 hours since 5pm, then they come up on stage. When they sang their 1st song for the night, called my ship isn't pretty, oh we're so excited, thrilled, and amazed at the same time. It's so unbelieveable, to see your idol up there at the stage singing your favorite song. You're stupid if you don’t sing along with them, hehe.
Their performance that night was beyond awesome, it was brilliant. OMG I can't tell how their live performance was much much much better than their CD records. Damn. The melody they pick, Eirik's voice, Erlend's energetic performance, it all blend into one great show.
There are some special moments, too. Such as when Eirik get down on his knee, acting like he's tuning his guitar, but Erlend alone sang a song in some kind of strange languange. "Hmm, is it Norwegian language?" I was wondering, and then I listen to it again a little bit carefully, and I can barely hear ".. Berharap.. Menyembuhkan luka..." OMG, it was bahasa Indonesia! Shit! Not so good at the pronounsation, but I must admit, a nice try! Oh man, I did expect him to do this, but what he did still shocked me.. Hahaha… Erlend said that they are really admire Whiteshoes & The Couples Company, so that's why he sang their song.
And then at the end of "Peacetime Resistance", (I know someone who really love this song, too bad you weren't there sweetie ;p) they asked us to say "Uuuuu, uu, uuuuuu..." and "Aaaa,aaaaaaaa,aa..".. Yeah, it was awesome!
Near the end of the show, they called the drummer and bassist from Whiteshoes to join them playing the last 2 songs (uh shit, last 2 songs? They had been playing for about 1,25hour but it felt so fast). Erlend now switch to play the piano. They played "Boat Behind" and "I'd rather dance with you", both songs are upbeat, so everyone starts to dance that night, ahhh sooooo great! I'd rather dance than just listening, hehe.. And when "I'd rather dance with you" comes to its end, they got a full applause from everyone in the stage. Oh come on, we want more! The crowd said it out loud: "we want more!", asking for encore.. Damn great crowd, so finally they came back on stage, and agree to sing another song.
And what is the last song, everyone? It's "Homesick"! Ah, the song was really calming. A great song to close their performance. And even better, since that day was the EarthHour day, so they played the last song without any lights. Dark. Total darkness. Pitch black. But that way, everyone can feel the emotion in that song. Ah sooooo f****ccckkking greaaat performance!
Thanks so much Erlend and Eirik, you just made my whole year in 2010.
