Outside - George Michael
I blogged bout me dilemma some time ago (read here) – Four-play or Jamie Cullum? I can’t afford going for both.
Well, I settled the problem – I went for both! For free! :-)
I went earlier to check out the place – and I found out that if I stood along the road outside the perimeter of the Tower of London, I’d get a good view of the stage – and the sound was pretty good too!
It wasn’t great – the sound of the cars behind me can be quite noisy at times. It got quite cold during Jamie’s concert too. And these 2 girls decided to stand next to me and have a long and loud conversation. But hey, it’s free! And I was closer to the stage than I was during Sam Hui’s concert at Bukit Jalil last year!!!!!!
Initially, I planned only to catch Four-play which was on Wednesday since Jamie’s concert was on Thursday and I was working for 7 hours that day.
I was late for Four-play’s concert (read why here) – and to my disbelief, they were only the opening act for Al Jarreau!!!!!! I thought they were performing wif him! So I only managed to catch the end of their performance – which was brilliant! Al Jarreau was disappointing, tho and I wondered if it was cuz of the sound system.
For some reason, me working hours on Thursday were cut short and I decided to go again to watch Jamie. It was worth it!
Jamie Cullum is so so good. And he sound exactly like he does on the CD – so it was not the sound system that was bad. I strongly believe that the best gauge of one’s singing ability is during a live performance – and Jamie passed wif flying colours!
His concert was exactly like how it always is – energetic and fun! At the start, he even took a jibe at the audience saying that if he were them, he’d join the people along the road outside and watch for free – and he pointed to us out at the back!
Jamie, did u see me wave at you when u pointed at us? I guess the chances of that are as low as the chances of you reading this-eh? Brilliant show, anyways! ;-)
There were 3 big screens oso and we could see his expressions! It was good. I stayed on til the end even if it meant that I missed me train and had to walk over an hour to get home. No regrets! :-)
p/s - a funny thing happened along the way home. As i walked thru the High Street near the disco, some guy came over and offered to swap his 3/4 pants wif me jeans and even throw in a fiver and a lighter!!!! It seems that he wasn't allowed into the disco without long pants. I politely refursed him, tho. Hey, this is me Tesco 3 quid jeans, ok?! :-P
