最遙遠的演唱會(下)

上集:最遙遠的演唱會(上)


去到2012年,多得Facebook,我知道Sergey Lazarev將會喺2013年3月舉行大型演唱會,知道嘅一刻我竟然嘗試經網上買飛!

但係手續好麻煩,我身在香港根本咩都做唔到。好感激我表弟幫我搵到朋友幫手買飛,造就咗我2013年嘅第一個莫斯科之旅。

上次探完路,今次可以大搖大擺咁喺2015年一個人第二次再去莫斯科欣賞偶像嘅演唱會,連Crocus City Hall嘅職員都一臉愕然,奇怪點解會有個外國人喺度。呢個特徵亦為我帶嚟特別嘅待遇-首先,門口賣紀念品個女仔好主動咁話我知應該由邊個入口入場;第二,個個職員都笑容滿面,我完全係有一種賓至如歸嘅感覺;最後就係個職員應該知我唔識睇張飛,唔知坐邊行,佢帶我帶到埋去位側邊!

《Talk to Me》帶畀我讀書嘅回憶,《Heartbeat》會令我諗起某個舊情人,《Take It Off》令我諗起上一次莫斯科之旅...演唱會非常精彩,即使有幾首我鍾意嘅英文歌都唱咗俄文版,但係聽住熟悉嘅旋律,一樣可以搵到共鳴,一樣可以好hyper,印象深刻到有幾首歌直到今日都仲喺我個腦入面loop緊。

能夠再次喺現場欣賞一個以往只能夠喺電腦螢幕睇嘅演出,喺一個距離自己住嘅地方十個鐘機程嘅國家聽番呢十幾年陪住自己嘅歌,呢種感覺非筆墨能夠形容。而作為全場唯一一個亞洲人(我相信我真係),個感覺其實都幾特別。

我可以而家訂定下次演唱會嘅飛嗎?

The Farthest Concert (Part 2)

Until 2012, thanks to Facebook, I knew that Sergey Lazarev was gonna hold a concert in March 2013, at that time, I actually tried to but a ticket online!

But the procedure was really complicated, there's nothing I could do in Hong Kong. Really appreciate my cousin's help on finding his friend to buy a ticket for me, accomplishing my first trip to Moscow in 2013.

After last time's exploring, I could boldly go to Moscow to watch Sergey's concert this time in 2015, the staff in Crocus City was shocked, wondering why there was a foreigner there. And this characteristic brought me privileges - Firstly, the lady selling souvenirs was telling me which entrance I should go even I didn't ask; secondly, it was a pleasant experience that all staff was smiling at me all the time; and the last thing was that the staff must knew that I didn't know where my seat was, she walked me to my own seat!

“Talk to Me” brought back memories in school, “Heartbeat” made me think about my ex, “Take It Off” reminded me about my last trip there... The concert was awesome, even he sang some of my English favorites in Russian, with the familiar melodies, they are still touching and I still felt hyper listening to them, the concert was so impressive that some of the songs keep looping in my head until this minute after the concert.

It is hard to describe the feeling of watching a performance in real which I could only watch in front of the computer, and listening to songs that I have been listening in the past 10 years in a country with 10-hour flight. And the feeling of being the only Asian (I think I really was) in the concert hall is actually special.

Can I make an early reservation now for the next concert?

最遙遠的演唱會(上)


因為2004年暑假喺HMV買嘅一張唱片,今年我已經第二次踏足俄羅斯。

Smash!!係一隊俄羅斯組合,當年以「t.A.T.u.師弟」嘅名義嚟香港宣傳。我已經唔太記得點解當日會揀佢哋嘅唱片,只知道聽完之後就即刻畀其中一個成員Sergey Lazarev嘅聲線吸引住。後來Smash!!宣佈解散,Sergey開始獨立發展。而我今次去莫斯科睇嘅《Concert THE BEST》正正就係慶祝佢獨立發展十周年嘅演唱會。

講番十年前,Smash!!解散之後,俄羅斯嘅音樂似乎同香港完全絕緣。堅持買唱片嘅我後來經Amazon買到Sergey第一張個人大碟《Don’t be Fake》,之後就開始走火入魔,情歌正正就係需要呢一把咁磁性嘅聲線(加埋甜到漏嘅露齒笑容)去演繹先至打動到人!隨後嘅幾隻唱片都係喺網上面買,有時又會喺YouTube睇下佢嘅現場演出或者MV,呢個男人嘅音樂開始成為我生活嘅一部份。

嗰陣我時不時都會喺度諗,唔知我會唔會有機會去現場睇佢表演呢?我唔係嗰啲要握手,要抱抱,記得偶像咩血型嘅超級忠實歌迷,但能夠親身去感受現場嘅氣氛,或者真係我一直以來嘅願望。可惜,莫斯科嘅娛樂事業同香港根本扯唔上關係,偶像開演唱會唔會有人話畀我知,要買飛就更加係無從入手...

The Farthest Concert (Part 1)

Because of a CD I bought at HMV in 2004, this is my second time been to Russia.

Smash!! was a Russian band, they claimed themselves as “junior fellow of t.A.T.u.” when they came to Hong Kong promoting their album. I don't quite remember why I chose their album, I only know I am attracted by Sergey Lazarev's voice after listening to it. Afterwards, Smash!! split up, Sergey then started his solo career. Concert THE BEST that I went to was actually a concert celebrating the 10th anniversary of his solo career.

Going back to 10 years ago, after the split up of Smash!!, Hong Kong seemed isolated from Russian music. Me, who is insisting buying CDs, bought Sergey's first album “Don't be Fake” through Amazon, after that, I am mad about him, we need such beautiful and touching voice (plus that sweetest smile showing his teeth) for love songs! I bought his other albums online and sometimes I watched his performances and music videos on YouTube, this man's music became part of my life.

Sometimes I was thinking, would there be a chance for me to watch his performance in real? I am not the kind of fan that wants to shake hands, wants to hug or remembers the blood type of celebrities, but maybe it is true that watching Sergey's performance and experiencing its atmosphere in real is my dream. However, entertainment in Moscow is nothing related to Hong Kong, no one will notify me when Sergey is gonna hold a concert, and it is even harder to find somebody to get a single ticket for me...
