Emil Chau in Concert

Last Friday evening, I went to Emil Chau's concert. Since the tech bubble burst, it has been a long time for a famous Asian singer to perform concernt in the Bay Area. In this evening, it was a full house. Emil was charming and humorous. The whole concert had great atmosphere, audience often sang along with Emil (including me ...). He missed a couple tones in the beginning, but he quickly got into mood then sang very well one song after another. Emil brought his Easy Band with him. The live music were excellent. There was an interesting moment. A female fan rushed on stage. Then Emil sang with her together. This girl hugged Emil like her boyfriend. All audience laugh out loud.

I know almost all of Emil's songs during the 90's, both Cantonese and Mandarin. I was attracted by his Cantonese songs first. Then I looked for his older Mandarin songs and I liked them as well. I owned many of his album. Here I recommend my top three favorites:

1. 弦途有你 : Emil's 2nd Cantonese album. Most songs composed by him purposely for this album. With lots of heart! This album sold really well and then Emil got the nickname of 天王殺手.

2. 風雨無阻 : Emil's Mandarin album during his prime time at 90's. At the time he and Jacky Cheung were the top 2 Mandarin singers. This album contains large variety of style. All 10 songs have great rhythm and well singing.

3. 小天堂 : Emil re-sings a collection of his famous Mandarin songs, with newly composed music played by his Easy Band. A good review of Emil's song with different feeling.
