Alan Tam & Hacken Lee 《一生中最愛》 live in Hong Kong 12/12/2013 draw den 2014-12-20 | 一生中最愛, a 1991 song by Alan Tam (譚詠麟) performed live with Hacken Lee (李克勤) at Hong Kong Coliseum, December 12th, 2013.The two artists have collaborated over ten years, this being their fourth tour together. This was one of thirteen sold-out 3-hour long Hong Kong shows that kicked off their Neighbors 10th Anniversary Reunion Concert (左麟右李十週年演唱會). If you read the four characters (左麟右李) out loud in Cantonese it sounds like an idiom for "Neighbors" (左鄰右里). In essence Alan Tam's on the left (左麟) and Hacken Lee's on the right (右李)... a creative use using homonyms.The English translation of the song title (一生中最愛) is "Love of a Lifetime" or "Lifetime Love". The title "My Dearest in Life" is also used on a live DVD/CD, as well as Amazon & iTunes.My girlfriend and I were on vacation in Hong Kong (she's originally from there). Since I love live performances and she was familiar with many of their songs (I'm not) this was a good experience. This Cantopop song jumped out at me... either I liked it on first listen or perhaps it's a reminder of a song an old friend's played before.

So much tremendous talent on stage!It was a personal unexpected treat to be seated next to a couple that was part of the Boingo inner cicle (initials C.U + S.U) which made for some very interesting intermission conversation, for me at least. C.U. did lighting and more for almost all Boingo shows in addition to making many of those awesome concert T-shirts and merch. Am I the only one that desires a comprehensive documentary on the Mystic Knights, Boingo, the crew, etc?no copyright violation intended, buy music, support artists!
Pixies - live @ El Rey Theatre, L.A. 9/9/2013 [full concert] draw den 2013-09-25 | Pixies as Joey Santiago, David Lovering, Black Francis, and Kim Shattuck (Kim Deal's out for fun with the Breeders). This was the second of five Los Angeles performances that kicked off a new tour just days after release of "EP-1", the first new multi-song compilation since 1991. Only Kim Shattuck spoke. My favorite quote of the night: "I keep havin' to pick my butt." This was followed by another new song called "Blue Eyed Hexe." Yes Pixies, more new songs please! =) They played 75 minutes. Based on the setlist at El Rey Theatre "In Heaven/Android Queen", "Where Is My Mind", and "Indie Cindy" were dropped from the end/encore. "Cactus" was played instead of "Here Comes Your Man", "Crackity Jones" switched spots with "Wave of Mutilation."
