Glenn Fredly with "Pengakuan Lelaki" As I've told you in the previous posting, yesterday nite I went to Balai Sarbini, the Plaza Semanggi to watch Glenn Fredly's concert titled "Pengakuan Lelaki". I went with Kidy. The concert was late. It was written on the ticket that the concert will begin on 8 pm, but the reality, the concert begun on 8.30 pm. I couldn't post the pictures about the concert because it was not allowed to bring camera or video camera inside the building. Each viewers was checked by the committee and the security, to make sure that no one bring camera or video camera. Even foods and drinks are not allowed too. I saw many foods and drinks in the plastic bags were on the floor near the committee's table. If anyone get caught bring a camera or video camera in, the person will be sent out to put his/her camera somewhere else and may come in. Gosh, the security was so tight! Anyway finally we get into the building after get over all the big queue line and the security check. And after many minutes to spend in the building, 4 men suddenly show up at the right side of the building. They sang 2 songs for the opening. After that... Glenn Fredly showed up from the back right of the building, and walk into the crowded people.. across my place (I shaked hand with him! Hahaha) ..and walk straight to the stage. After a few words for us, he began to sing, started from "Selamat Pagi, Dunia!" and many of his songs in his current and previous albums. Sorry I forgot the list according to ascendence list, but I'm sure that after "Selamat Pagi, Dunia!", there is also "Terpesona", "Sedih Tak Berujung", "Belum Saatnya (Berpisah)", "Selama Kau Mau", "Cukup Sudah" (with new arrangement on this song, so groovy!!), "Januari", "Kumasih Di Sini" (in this song, he added many jam session! Cool!), "Tetes Embun", "Hatiku Terganggu", "Kasih Putih", "Habis", one of the Ambonese song "Rame-rame", "Pada Satu Cinta", and "Sekali Ini Saja" for the end of the show. He added some cool songs too, not just the songs that in his albums. Also, he added some testimony about his path of success in his life and his music career. He also do some collaburation in some of his songs, such as with Andi Rianto, Aminoto Kosin, and Dian Pramana Poetra. Near end the show, he did a duet with Albert from AFI Junior and the Nazareth Choir, sang about the human right especially for the children in Indonesia. Heheh one point, suddenly the situation and the aura of the building changes into a praise and worship service. Hehehe.. I really feel like in church ;P~ During the show he introduce his team to us: Tommy Widodo at the keyboard, Henry Budidharma at the guitar, Barry Likumahua at the bass, Marlon at the saxophone, Webster "Nyong" Manuhutu at the drums, Wawan at the guitar, DJ Joe, and percussion by Rejoz "The Groove". Also Ivan Saba and Sa'i for the RAP part. Ivan and Sa'i did the job really GREAT! Yeah.. their RAP really rocks Balai Sarbini. Overall, the concert was SO GREAT and ROCKING!! I don't regret watching the show! If the score 0 to 10, I give this concert score: 10!
