When you get a new piece of Musical Gear... Be it hardware, software, rack-mount, stomp box, and so on... Put away the instructions aside from the set-up and throw the troubleshoot guide into the trash... Accidents and ignorance creates beautiful mistakes... (Jaco Pastorius : 1951 - 1987)

..a Glimpse of London 2004

hemmhhh..
yang namanya manusia..
kadang bisa lupa, sudah janji mau review2 tapi karena satu lain hal jadinya tertunda..
kadang janji mau kirim2 kaos konser tapi belom ada yang bisa dititipin..
kadang suka lupa kalo ada janji malahan..
mudah2an sedikit banyak bisa di lunasin janjinya dari sekarang..
saya janji deh..

serius loh.. saya berjanji..


MAROON 5
Shepperd's Bush Empire
October 16th



i tried my best to feed her appetite, keep her coming every night..
so hard to keep her satisfied..



ga kebayang rasanya nonton konser pop rock dikelilingi cewe2 abg yang wangi2..
duh.. celinguk kanan celinguk kiri..
sampe lupa liat depan, ini lagi main lagu apa ya..
hoo.. iya iya pantes ga kedengeran..
yang kedengeran cuma teriakan teriakan..

"aaaaa...."
"waaaa....."
"i love youuuuu..."
"oohh my gooodddd..."
"he's sooo cuuuute.."

ya ya ya..
baru kali ini rasanya budek pulang nonton konser...


this love has taken its toll on me..
she said goodbye too many times before
and her heart is breaking in front of me
i have no choice cause i wont say goodbye anymore..


WHITESNAKE
Hammersmith
October 20th



mana ini cewe2 abg minggu lalu?
yang ada kok para remaja pria setengah baya perut buncit..
ya.. serasa dalam lingkungan yang tepat sekarang..
reb beach menyayat di kanan, tommy aldridge gebak gebuk dengan tangan kosong di belakang dan david coverdale masih bercelana merecet dan kemeja ketat tangan panjang ala roker dengan gagah bernyanyi di kanan kiri tengah panggung sambil sesekali mengepalkan tangan..
aahhh..
i'm home...


now i feel I'm growing older..
and the songs that i have sung, echo in the distance
like the sound of a windmill goin round
i guess i'll always be a soldier of fortune..


THE CORRS
Wembley Arena
November 8th



teringat saat sd ketika pertama kali melihat steve harris berklontang2 dengan p-bass'nya lewat video beta sewaan..
mata ga berkedip ketika melihat jari2 jaco menari di fret yang telanjang..
terpana ketika jempol victor wooten ber-up & down slap plucking the low note..

...
...
...

andrea..
cantikkk!!!
huaaaaaaaaaaa...

saya jatuh cinta..
ooh andrea...


see you in my dreams
you got me spinning round and round, turning upside-down
..but it's only when I sleep


BRAND NEW HEAVIES
Shepperd's Bush Empire
November 10th



entah kenapa..
kangen sama ben2 saya semasa kuliah dulu..
naik turun panggung kampus, pesta seni sma, cafe dan cafe2 tenda..
ga kalah banyak juga keluar masuk warteg, sopo ngiro, djono, muara karang :)
adi, nungki, bupa, imank, mirza, nageeb, yudhis, uke, angga, oko, helen, ira, cecep, uke, asido, ricki, lisa..
main lagi dong...

hei..
april..
tunggu saya pulang ya, kita selesaikan project camden-nya!


you just call out my name and you know where ever i am..
i'll come running, to see you again..
don't you know that winter, spring, summer, or fall..
all you got to do is call and i'll be there, yes i will
you've got a friend..


EUROPE
Hammersmith
November 15th



walk by my side, and follow my dreams..
and bear with my pride, as strong as it seems
will you be there, tomorrow..


celana kulit boleh berganti celana jins..
rambut sasak boleh berganti bergaya natural ataupun gondrong tanggung..
jaket kulit boleh ditanggalkan diganti jaket korduroi atao kemeja dan kaos oblong..
sepatu koboi entah kemana berubah jadi trainers..

tapi hati harus tetap sama..
walao mau tak mau harus bertoleransi mengikuti perjalanan karir selama 20 tahun ini..
hebat kalian..

when light goes down..
i see no reason for you to cry, we've been through this before..
in every time.. in every season..
god knows i've tried
so please don't ask for more..


KEANE
Brixton Academy
November 18th



something i wasn't sure of..
but i was in the middle of..
something i forget now..
but i've seen too little of..


pop?
hemmhhh..
entah kenapa susana musik yang meresap masuk lewat semua lubang lebih terasa ketika menonton mereka ketimbang saat celingak celinguk di konser maroon 5..
walao masih kekeuh merasa ini bukan ben rock tapi jelas terasa mereka lebih nge'rock' ketimbang maroon 5
mau dari sisi aransemen, sisi tuangan kata2 dalam liriknya..
nuansa dan aura lagu yang terdengar..

entah kenapa walaupun gedung yang penuh sesak masih bisa terhanyut sendiri..

simple thing where have you gone
i'm getting old and i need something to rely on
so tell me when you're gonna let me in..
i'm getting tired and i need somewhere to begin


LEVEL 42
Astoria
December 4th



yak..
untuk ketiga kalinya bisa menyaksikan jempol dan telunjuk ajaib bergetar tremor brebet brebet..
ampun deh mark king..
walao kali ini tidak ada terlihat joget kereta2an penonton dari kanan ke kiri bulak balik..
entah kenapa kok iya kalo nonton ben2 jazz 80'an kok banyak ya kaum sesamanya..
:)

oiya..
saya sudah pegang tiket untuk bulan februari..
saya nantikan brebet2an jempol kamu lagi ya..

ya..
insya allah ketemu lagi ya..


all the dreams that we were building
we never lived them..
all the homes that we were building
we never lived in..

MUSE
Earl's Court Arena
December 19th



nothing will ever stay the same
and all of the love we threw away
and all of the hopes we've cherished fade
making the same mistakes again.
making the same mistakes again..



hebat!
rocker ruang angkasa..

baru kali ini datang ke konser penuh balon balon dan joget2 macam pesta ulang tahun..
belum lagi adanya 2 kali encore..
sepertinya kejutan demi kejutan terus menerus berdatangan tanpa henti..
tak ada habisnya..
terus menerus saja mengikuti..
tidak mau selesai..


best..
you've got to be the best
you've got to change the world
and you use this chance to be heard
your time is now..


WET WET WET
Wembley Arena
December 20th



one look is all it took
i remember that sweet surrender
do you recall, cause i do..
my sweet surrender



terahir..
penutup ahir tahun..
setelah 10 tahun vakum..
mencoba bangkit kembali..

ya..
walau memakai kilt
tetap terlihat gagah kamu mas..


caught up in your wishin well
your hopes and sadness
take your love and promises
and make them last..




happy holiday guys!
see you again in 2005!
next year hope it would be much more..
way much more different than the last!
i promised!

Cheers!

ps.
sometimes..

when you thought that something was not quite right..
when things are too perfect..
when the world seems to have conspired against us..
when you got drawn into the stream of undefined illusion..

those diamond dreams
they can't disguise the truth..

perhaps..
it never was..
