Andy Lau Vision Tour 2004 (Limited Edition)

Dazzling: Andy Lau Vision Tour 2004 ~ Andy Lau

This latest 30-plus-tunes album from Andy Lau has got the Canto-pop King's two concerts on September 12 and 13 included. The combo set comes not just with 3 CDs, but also a VCD, named Top Secret File, which features highlights of rehearsals and other behind-the-scenes stuff.

Beside the You Are My Pride Concert, which is of free admission, the 15-show Andy Lau Vision Tour 2004 has been Andy's first concert in three years.

Going to Andy's concerts has always been a luxurious enjoyment. His songs are definitely one of the concert's best parts, but it is the electrifying atmosphere and dazzling costume and visual effects which keep stunning everyone. Besides such various performance as tap dance, magic show, Cantonese opera etc., Andy also dressed up glamourously as a magician, a samurai and a Cantonese opera singer during the concert.

Zhao Zeng Xi took up the role of music director for this concert and quality is guaranteed. The mixture and arrangement of different types of music in the concert is satisfactory. The majority of songs in it are previous big hits and that should be even better for fans as all are household names. As for Andy's singing, he is brilliant in singing live.

Rock Medley (Disc1, Track#2), Immense Affection (Disc2, Track#6), Chinese (Disc2, Track#7) and the Chinese Opera Mix of Little Fool (Disc2, Track#10) are the songs Andy sang at the beginning of the concerts and they are just brilliant. Other pieces like Best Actor No Use (Disc3, Track#8), classic ballad Secretly Admire (Disc3, Track#9), the big concert hit The Time We Spent Together (Disc1, Track#8) and Love You 10000 Years (Disc3, Track#7) are very touching. The hearty talk by Andy Lau at the end of the concerts is also added honey for all his die-hard devotees.
