This year a supreme rock concert will be held on the Christmas Day where the Santa's nightscape meet the Sunway's Rockscape.The country's most iconic rock outfits Search and Wings are back again and explode the Sun Surf Sunway Lagoon on Dec25, I mean last nite on Chrismas Day. While most christians are waiting for their Santa’s, the Klang Valley midrockers are hungry for the warm concert.
The concert, billed as Gemuruh DT (maybe the pronunciation sounds like Digi the main sponsor), is a tribute to their 1993 collaborative concert which gave rise to an album of the same name. It has sold over 180,000 units.Search, established three decades ago, and Wings, which is 23 years old, staged the Double Trouble 2 concert in 1998. Search will celebrate their 30 years next year and according to Amy, his age now is 53.Phh..my goodness...rock sampai mati.

The concert was emceed by Isma Halil, the so cliche rock DJ together with Faizal Ismail. The opening band was from Azlan & Typewriters who performed the evergreen mellowed Fantasia Bulan Madu and Intanku Kesepian and Azlan is the one who only deserve to sing those memorable songs as his soul-pitched might touch the F minor note. It was an unplugged session by Hillary Ang, Sham (x-gitaris Wings), Azlan Typewriter, an unknown bassist, Roxa (keyboard) who gives a great slow hand plucking with the high notes scream.
Amy rocked the stage with Pelesit Kota backed by Wings and soon later replaced by Awie backed by Search with some heavy numbers. The crowd were varies from the black t shirt’s rockers to the tudungs aunties and they looked enjoy the gig but some of Search rare numbers like Paranoid and Cakap Memang Murah couldn’t be attracted because may be they just fucking posers or it is too odd for typical rock listeners.
Okay back to the concert, where each group performed 10 songs, including Opera Hidup, Jerangkung dalam Almari , Paranoid, Orang Kita, Balada Pemuzik Jalanan, Cakap Memang Murah and Gothik Malam Edan . They backed on stage together with their hit numbers like Gadisku, Mimpi Syakilla, Rozana, Semalam Yg Hangat and sing together as in “double trouble” and not as single entity band. Some of the numbers were back-up by the strings and cellos like Pawana and maybe they going to produce in VCD and hopefully that.The lighters were hailed by most rock-smokers at that time and it was so melancholic moment.

The hard rockersphere bound from Sunway hospital to the Lagoon's boom gate and when Kid geared his Kramer, the ambience was so live and loud. Humpy and jumping I can feel the Surf beach is bumpy like a minor tsunamy had laid the Sunway township. But out of all ,I love the Les Paul's Joe riffing sound ,so cowboy and yes..so hell hardrocks magnetic. Dont blame on Yazid for the simple tone and percussion, as we all knew he is still under medication but his cowbell sound and the his bumpy tomb and lashing hi-hat is so concerto-oriented . Amy and Awie, they are as wild as their reputation and Awie with always with his slowdance while Amy performing slownumbers and his joke merried the crowd.
Music weight credit should goes to Wings as three piece band sound more gig-a- like, warm and raw rather than two guitars by Search was so progressive and compact. Imagewise , I like Nasir Search with the kilt , Amy with hood but not Awie’s short pant and it looked he’d so ratdaddy’s image.(macam Hantu Kak Limah). I am quite surprise with Joe’s new haircut and he just wear the polo T shirt …does it look too government officer …. What ever?
Oh yeahh before I forgot , the mineral water last nite were being priced up to RM 5.00 and bloody hell to Sunway for being devil capitalist to the cheap-rockers like us.
Soundwise, this the best concert of the year, discipline wise, credit should be given to this both two bands for rocking on scheduled and I guess this is the best organized but they should get the better venue because Sunway Surf Beach is too small and too naïve to handle some wild rockers who weed last nite. Hmmm my eye just blink-blinked at Zakiah Anas( Ohh ...baby) who stood behind Bond but after I snapped a photo of her, she just walk-off. Oh…dear. The crowd was approximately 15000 fans including posers, mat rock yg dah tua , aweks , all the real rockers ,banglas who carried mineral water here and there, Bond, Man Boroi, Zakiah Anas and me.
Those fans who failed to watch their 1992 concert (which brought by Salem Power Station _at that time) get "more than a glimpse" as it is the most rock n roll ever this year and it was "energetic and exciting" and a "trip down memory lane". Organised by Digi Double Trouble took fans of Search and Wings on a journey of "purely Malaysian rock".
For tickets are priced at RM70 considered cheap but and the purchase station which is at Viva Sport in Pertama Complex considered hell to grab. The more I wanna leave rock n roll, the more good event laid to my head.. Rock N Roll Will Never Die...."Gua Jerit Sampai Perit, Pasal Tiket RM 70.....Yoo Yeea Yeeah......menilai LU PUNYA....!!
