Here you can see dance choreographer Sunny Wong. He is the guy with the spiked up silver hair.

Hacken opened the show with a song followed by a drum and chair dance. He sang a few more songs. Then he sang other singers' songs. He sang Leslie Cheung's "Left Right Hand", Jacky Cheung's "How to Give You Up", and Shirley Kwan's "Only Once".

Then Hacken explained that he had the opportunity to work with many singers (who composed songs) in his new album. As Hacken was about to list the singers, I started to yell out "Khalil Fong!"

Hacken: "There is Hins, Hins Cheung...."
Me: "Khalil Fong!"
Hacken: "Louis Cheung, Justin Lo, Jan Lam...."
Me: "Khalil Fong"
Hacken: "Okay, okay. Khalil Fong, Khalil Fong, and Eason Chan".

Ha ha.... Hacken heard me yelling Khalil's name. Then he sang Eason's "Under Mount Fuji".

After singing a few more songs, Hacken asked the audience whether they watch TV series. "I don't know if friends in the U.S. watch TV series, but I will sometimes sing TV theme songs like 'Red Sun' etc. But after this series, everybody acknowledges automobiles". Then he sang "The Sky Like Blue", which is the theme of "The Drive of Life".

After singing "The Sky Like Blue", Hacken told us that Gigi Wong is also in the audience. He asked her, "How come you never look for me to film these kind of series?"

After that, he continued to talk to the audience and, at this time, my friend and I decided to yell out his name.

Us: "Hacken!!!"
Hacken: "邊個嗌得咁淒厲呀﹖唔係萬聖節woh!"

Ha ha... Hacken said we sounded sad and shrill and that it wasn't Halloween! I have to explain because it was all my friend's fault because she yells loud, but her voice scatters all over the place. Ha ha....

Hacken played a little bit of the piano when he was singing "Where Will the Flower Fall". He only played the intro to the song, and he was also wearing wings. Ha ha....

During the concert, Hacken had to present awards to winners of a singing contest in Las Vegas. He then sang "Goodbye Concert Hall" with the first winner.

Hacken also sang his new song, "Ba Ba Sing", composed by Louis Cheung. There was also a slideshow of pictures of his boy, Ryan, on the big screen during the song.

The concert was fantastic! He is very awesome live! Hacken sang for three hours by himself! And that includes an hour of encore. During the encore part, he asked what songs he should sing, and the audience would yell out song titles. We started to yell out "One Life Never Changes". The first encore song he sang was "Deep Deep Deep", followed by "Love Can't Let Go". Then he sang "One Life Never Changes". He continued to sing and sing, and he finally ended the show with "Victory".

The clips I had were not long, but are worth a keep. LOL!
