MLTR

Mention the name Michael Learns to Rock (MLTR), some first reactions I received are they are so old and so nostalgic...Despite that, we found ourselves at Arena of Stars (8pm on 14th July) to watch the group which now comprises of singer and keyboard player Jascha Richter, drummer Kåre Wanscher and guitarist Mikkel Lentz. The seats that we bought (RM93) was very near to the stage and we had a good, clear view....
The show started of quite bland with not much response from the crowd....I was thinking that it's going to be boring if it's like this for the whole show. It was just the warm up songs (newer hits, which not many people know)...After the third song, MLTR began to belt out hits after hits- 'Sleeping Child', '25 Minutes', 'Out Of The Blue','Paint My Love', 'Wild Women'...Yes, all of my favourites.
By this time, the crowd was screaming and singing along. I personally liked it when Jascha ask the crowd to sing and the music went off. You can hear the crowd singing their lungs out and it was a great feeling. He even stepped down from the stage and the fans were screaming wildly.

It was surprising to see many young people (around our age- still can be considered as the younger generation, right?) there. A lot of uncles and auties as well and they really know MLTR's songs.

I truly enjoyed it. No more regretting not going to Emil Chau's concert (which has Victor Wong and Nicholas Teo as guests)....MLTR still rocks!!
