coming back to my favourite gigs which i attended, there were 2.
Pearl Jam in Feb 95. Simply the most rockingest concert to be held in Singapore. EVER. i moshed like there was no tomorrow, so did the rest of the crowd!
Radio Heatwave gig 96. One of my poly studio technicians, arifin, had this has-been 80s cheesy mat rock band called Inspirasi. Out on whim, he was invited by the school's gig committee to play at the gig. i was initially quite skeptical about letting them play.
Boy was i wrong.
the punks and skinheads booed them when this bunch of middle-aged daddies came on stage, but when arifin started his shredfest and his singer instantly kicked into a 80s metal wail, my jaw just dropped in disbelief!! the tightness and showmanship was totally out of this world. from that moment on, everyone, punk or skinhead, kicked into high gear and started moshing. jaw was still wide open then. my most memorable local gig. 8)
does anyone rem the 2 gigs?
