Flashback - Sum41 at Fort Canning (30 Jul 2003)

Remember this, Yakki?

Time flies.

"maybe it was the location, maybe it was the crowd, but what a concert it was by sum-41. for that 61 bucks (student rate) of mine, it was well worth it. compared to the travis-coldplay and rhcp concerts i attended, this one certainly top my list. the participation by the crowd was brilliant and was probably helped by sum-41's lead singer derek whibley when he urged us to "forget about the ushers, climb over the barrier and get closer to the stage". it might not have been too pleasing to those who forked out 111 bucks, only to see cheapos like me getting into their vip areas with the band's permission, but that built the atmosphere as the crowd packed to the front and started dancing to the music. mineral water bottles and tiger beer cans were being thrown around, rock hand signs were up in the air and body-surfing?! could be seen. the band played around 20 songs with so much energy and we could all see that the crowd was slowly expending their energy by like the 7-8th song. still, the music kept going and sum-41 managed to psyche us up for the later part of the show. brilliant concert indeed."
