Tao-rrific show
By MICHAEL CHEANG, The Star (Malaysia) 31 October 2006
David Tao gave an entertaining performance during his recent concert here.
Thirty minutes into David Tao's concert last Saturday, I was prepared
to write it off as just another bland and uninspiring pop concert by
yet another Taiwanese artiste.
At that point, hardly anything that Tao delivered that night at the
Bukit Jalil National Stadium could suggest that the concert would be
anything different from all the other concerts by his peers, which
always tend to be predictably uninspiring, and overloaded with sappy
ballads or over-produced pop tunes.
Even though he kicked off the show with some pizzazz by literally
"descending from the sky", the first set of songs he sang failed to
live up to the dizzying heights of his grand entrance.
However, I should have known not to underestimate Tao. After all, he
is now one of the most creative and versatile artistes in Taiwan.
Judging by last weekend's concert (which was part of his Love Can
World Tour), that moniker is well earned indeed.
The first of many surprises that night came after his first costume
change. Accompanied by a lone pianist, Tao sang a medley of three
jazzy numbers, including the classic Chinese song Ye Lai Xiang. It was
only during this segment that Tao's vocals really began to shine
through. From then on, the concert was a much more entertaining
affair. Tao is definitely one of the most versatile Asian artistes
I've seen, managing to switch effortlessly from lounge singer mode to
hip hop artiste, rock star, rapper and even dabbled in some Chinese
opera at one point.
Not many artistes in the Chinese music industry would be able to
display such versatility in the recording studio, let alone live on
stage, but Tao did just that.
He managed to pull it off effortlessly – switching the mood of the
show continuously with ease to include mass pop karaoke sing-alongs
with the 12,000-strong crowd, a fiery rock segment and an intimate
acoustic session.

during his concert.
The show also included one of the best build-ups to a song in a
concert this year – featuring a lone flutist and an er hu player
juxtaposed against a backdrop of psychedelic colours, a dreamy
sequence that set the mood for the rocking riffs of the song Ghost.It
also helped that most of Tao's songs (many of which he composed
himself) were pretty memorable, particularly the 9-11 inspired Dear
God, the rocking Art of War, the catchy My Anata, and the touching
ballad Everyday (which he sang together with a rather deliriously
happy member of the audience who couldn't keep her hands off him).
To tell the truth, one of the main reasons why the concert was such an
entertaining watch was down to Tao's interaction with his fellow
musicians, which ranged from singing duets and dancing with er hu
player-cum-backup vocalist Ke Wei, or rapping with
guitarist/backup- vocalist David Tan.
Unlike many Chinese pop concerts where the band is usually just backup
fodder consigned to the dimmed lights at the back of the stage, Tao's
band of musicians (half of whom were from Malaysia) were a living,
breathing part of the show, at times managing to outshine Tao himself.
Ultimately, it was Tao's willingness to let his fellow musicians
shine, and that sheer look of joy on his face to be playing music with
them that made this concert one of the best Chinese concerts this
year; except for the insipid start.
The David Tao Love Can World Tour Live in Malaysia concert was
presented by Hotlink and organised by Galaxy.
