The first time I heard about Mayday 五月天 was back in the year 2005. I was in Hong Kong looking for some music CDs in HMV, I was looking for something different, a band… and I came across Mayday’s 5th Album and I bought it! When I got back to London I listened to their album straight away, and I was surprised at the different sounds they produced… Very Indie style! I loved it and kept being their fan for a long time…
On Saturday 24th March I saw a post by London’s Chinese Spectrum Radio – they were advertising Mayday’s London Concert on March 27th in Wembley Arena. How comes I didn’t know about this??!! So I immediately booked my ticket via ticketmaster. I completely forgot my password since I haven’t used ticketmaster for a very long time. But eventually I booked my ticket! ^_^
This was a birthday present to myself. Yay…!! When I arrived at Wembley Arena, there were a lot of people about (mostly Chinese students – I must’ve been one of the older looking fans)… The following pictures was only the start of it.
At 6pm, the doors opened!! I thought the concert started at 7pm, but they didn’t start until after 7.30pm, so I was there for a good couple of hours… I should’ve left work late! Most of the fans there spoke Mandarin and Cantonese… And there were probably a few Taiwanese fans plus some British fans… 🙂
I got a good seat but a bit far from the stage!
Finally the concert started…
It’s started!! ^^
And here’s the members of 五月天 Mayday…
Ashin – lead singer
Monster – guitarist
Masa – bass guitarist
Ming – the drummer (Ashin was being very cheeky to Ming ^^)
Stone – guitarist
Concert ended quite quickly methinks! I want to hear more songs!
Noooo… don’t end!!
The end of the concert 😦
All of us were anticipating for an encore, we stamped our feet and started calling out “wu yue tian”! It took them a while to come back out, but they had to change into their t-shirts (and I guess take a sip of water)… I will allow that! ^^
Encore Time!!
The end 😦
My Mandarin is only basic, so I understood 70-80% of what they were saying 🙂 Stone spoke in English for a bit – I was very happy! I think Masa spoke in Cantonese like “大家好!”. Aaaaah! I love you 五月天 Mayday!! Come back again… (By the way, sorry for the bad quality pics – distance is always a problem)… Update 18:51 Woops not the end of this post just yet… I forgot that I took a few pics on my phone!
Ashin ^^
A lot of confetti and lights towards the end of the concert
Ashin wanted us to take out our phones – Quick pic!! ^^
Now it’s the end! I hope Mayday does come back again with some new songs… Can’t stop singing the I-N-G song in my head!! ^^
Update 26/11/2012 Sorry for taking sooooo long to upload my videos!! Sorry for the quality too… I used my small Panasonic camera 😛 Video 1
