life is wonderful
Met up with Audrey and Lucas at 5 plus and we had dinner. After that, dad fetched us to Stadium Negara. Sadly there wasn't a toilet there so we spent some time looking for one nearby and after that, we shopped for t-shirts. Entered at 7 ++. Concert supposed to start at 8 but of course, stars are always late so we waited till around 8.30 - 8.45.
There wasn't any opening act. Not that I bother anyway. Even if there was one, bet it'll be something crappy. Mraz started off with the song Make It Mine from his latest album. I can't really remember the songs in order but I do remember most of them. Next song was The Remedy. Other 'mainstream' songs that he performed includes You and I Both, Lucky, and I'm Yours. I think a local female artist duet with Jason during the song Lucky but fans couldn't really recognize who's that artist. The crowd was ecstatic when he performed Geek in the Pink. Classic JM song really. Other songs include If it Kills Me, Life is Wonderful, Dynamo of Volition, and Live High. The audience kinda know the lyrics well because everyone was singing along during most of the songs, even though during those not so mainstream songs, which I think is a great thing. There was an encore and he was wearing an "I Love KL" shirt. The last song was Butterfly.
The concert was overall really fucking fantastic. Too fantastic for words. What a wonderful experience. It's proven that he sounds much better live. People, face it, Mraz has practically perfect pitch. There was only one song that certain parts sounded a bit weird. During the ending part of Butterfly, other instruments (saxo, trombone, etc) were playing a key higher but Jason was still sticking to the initial key. (That's if I'm not wrong) Anyway it didn't sound really obvious unless the audience really paid extra attention. There was a lot of interaction and it was really damn enjoyable. There was one statement that he made which makes sense, "Don't let your mind stop you from having fun". He was trying to tell the audience that we should all dance and enjoy ourselves even if our dance moves don't fit our looks and outfit. Mraz said that it was the first time for him to perform in KL but definitely not the last time. Hope to see you soon in years to come. xD
