So, after ColdPlay we were looking for the next concert in Singapore and as we already played with the idea, I booked tickets to Oasis. We’ve got similar class seats and this time we’ll be joining a few friends who coincidently booked tickets right next to us. We might also have found a solution to the taxi problem, as these friends live relatively close to the Indoor Stadium. Looking forward to an other great night rocking Singapore.

*** UPDATE ***

So, we went and saw Oasis last night and I can out a little disappointed. I really felt like they were rushing through their repertoir and wanted to get out as soon as possible. Quick likely that we were out 45 minutes earlier than we did come out of the ColdPlay concert. The first half of the concert were obviously new songs from their latest CD and only the “new” fans were singing along. Only in the second half the “old” fans expectations were met with hits from the 90’s. There was no support band and no encore. I wouldn’t be surprised if the band left Singapore before we even got home. Seats were great though and other than with ColdPlay, the arena was standing only. Concert was 80% sold-out, not full till the last seat. Never the less, I left the Singapore Indoor Stadium a little disappointed and I expected more. Needless to say, we will be looking forward to a next venue and we’ll make sure we invite Marc and Lerzan again, because driving from the stadium is A LOT easier than trying to get a taxi! Thanks guys, for a nice evening with a little disappointing performance of the band.

Tonight we saw Sir Elton John at Werribee Park Mansion. It was an extremely good concert. Elton John entertained for 2.5 hours, bringing classics like “Candle in the Wind”, “Nikita” and “Crocodile Rock”. Apparently he flew his private jet from Sydney, then a helicopter from Melbourne airport and returned the same way. He was probably back in his hotel before we came home.

The logistics around Werribee were dreadful. The gates to the park opened at 4.30pm, the show started at 6pm and Elton Arrived at 7.50pm (10 minutes early). We left Melbourne at 5pm and what was planned to be a 30 minute drive, took us over 1.5 hours. There we people still queuing up for a parking-spot 30 minutes into Elton’s performance. One small road in and one out. We prepared to leave just before his last song and by doing so, we were one of the first to leave the park and we were second at KFC just after the Westgate Bridge for a mid-night snack.
