The
concert was a way for the band to say goodbye to their fans after 20 years in
the music business.
The show was a constant high with die-hard fans passionately waving bright
glow sticks and calling for one encore after another.
A Beyond's fan waves a huge banner that
reads "I grow up companied by songs of Beyond!" at
the stand filled with frantic
fans. [baidu] |
The performance was
titled "Beyond Story," and was designed to trace the growth of the band and late
former lead singer and guitarist Koma Wong.
Koma Wong's immortal statement "life is not about what you've gained, but
what you've done with it" appeared on the big screens of the stage, followed by
the song "Amani" themed on human rights, politics, peace, and protests, and
"Goodbye Ideals," their masterpiece.
Steve Wong, a current member of Beyond and brother of Koma Wong, said to the
audience at the end of the show that they shouldn't be sad and that they would
go on to make great music as individuals after the
split.
