Beau Bristow

On the 2nd July 2009, Beau Bristow came to ICSJ to put on a show for us all. It was quite an interesting night. The concert was suppose to have started at 7.00pm but of course, Malaysian timing got it to start at 8.30pm instead. Luckily the people who organized the concert were smart and told everyone that it was going to start at 7.00pm when it was actually going to start at 8.00pm. So overall, it started half an hour late than expected.

I was a little bit skeptical on how it was going to be. I've never actually listened to any of his music before so I wasn't sure of what to expect. I didn't really had a group of friends to go to during the concert at the time. But later on I found some people to hang out with so that was okay. I was thinking at the time if I would regret going to the concert. There were plenty of bright lights and people there so I would just end up worsening my migraine even further. But I just said what the hell as I already missed a lot of events because of the migraines.

The music by Beau Bristrow was incredible. He was quite good and was good at improvising even when there was something wrong with the PA system. I ended up liking the concert very much. Alexis, Jessica, and many more people including myself were standing infront cheering and clapping so loudly together. We were doing all sorts of things that night. The rest of the audience on the other hand were quite... dead. They were so passive. I mean a clap or a wave once in awhile would have been great, instead they just stared and when the music stopped, they clapped for awhile and stopped again and listen to more of his songs. Repeat that step throughout the whole concert.

When the concert was over, I went to buy his CD to get his signature as well. I was short on cash that night so I had to borrow from Suzanne who was also borrowing from other people hahaha! Anyway I managed to get his signature but he signed my name wrongly. Instead of writing Qisti he wrote Quisti. But of course that was to be expected I guess. A lot of people had written my name wrongly before and still are. Could be worse. Overall I really enjoyed the concert regardless of the audience's attitude. It was a good night and I got my first ever signatured CD! Yay!
