Mayday's brand new 2009-2010 D.N.A world tour「五月天 DNA巡迴演唱會 香港站」officially kicked off in Hong Kong almost a week ago. Obviously, my review is overdue
When we arrived at the Coliseum that late Wednesday afternoon, I was anxious to see the new D.N.A merchandise catalogue as they have not been released online. I was thrilled when I saw the catalogue. They've got some pretty innovative and creative ideas for their merchandise. I love the Mayday blank CD-Rs and masking tape!! :) Dead cool. I bought two sets of each item, and 3 rolls of D.N.A masking tape

They've got so many new tees for D.N.A. I personally like the mascot bear ones cos it's so darn cute. I couldn't choose between the black and white design so I got both ;)
Three of us ended up splurging HKD5300+ on the merchandise (!) and mine are still sitting in my luggage

Mayday played from 20-22 May 2009 at the Coliseum to 3 nights of full house audience. I still don't get why they played on weekday nights..
As I've mentioned previously, Ashin's vocals were slightly off on the first night. He had a throat problem and he was constantly using an inhaler in between songs! Towards the end his vocals got better so it was all good.
What was *bad* was when he sang 心中無別人 (first song during encore on the first night) and had almost completely forgotten all the lyrics. I think he had forgotten about 70% of the words and went on singing "la la la" to fill in the missing words!!!! I hadn't realise till then that I last saw Mayday sang that live in 2006! Ashin probably hasn't sang it much since then hence forgetting the lyrics
We had spectacular seats on the second night at the side of the stage. My friend had got us tickets for different location all 3 nights so we get to watch the concert from 3 different angles =) Night two we found ourselves on the right side (Stone's corner). From where we sat we could see the entire stage it was as though we were on the stage as them!
During one of the set they had Guan You placed right in front of us. It was the closest I've ever got to Guan You during concert cos he's always the one who's placed right at the back of the stage. It was awesome seeing Guan You play upclose.
Ashin dropped his Li Kar-shing toilet paper line and got some new lines, which were equally as lame as his previous one haha. I was hoping he'd get new lines for different nights but he only spoke Cantonese during the first night. Guan You managed a few Cantonese lines during the second night and for the first two nights, Guan You was given a spot to sing solo (with Ashin on drums)
