Switchfoot was fan-flippin-tastic.

We had to wait ( as usual) for them to come out . The opening performers were Altered Frequency and Love Me Butch . Although the crowd was definitely more responsive towards Love Me Butch,eventhough it was not their best live show.

Altered Frequency’s lead singer is .. really.. um . Haha he tried entertaining the crowd with his “ signature joke” . Which *I* did not get at all.

It sorta went something like..

( copied from Jebat’s blog because I can’t remember what the joke was exactly) =.=

AF VOCALIST: What's the difference between falling from the 88th floor or the twin towers and falling from the first floor?

No response.

AF VOCALIST: When you fall from the 88th floor, you go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *plop*. But when you fall from the first floor, it goes *plop*, then AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Er…. Right .

Switchfoot opened with “ Oh , Gravity” . The crowd went mental. Definitely the best crowd interaction ever. At one point , SF’s vocalist , Jon Foreman came down from the stage and held hands with people .

The crowd pushed and pushed to get a chance to hold his hand . *I* was SO SO SO close but bad B.O guy was infront of me and I didn’t want to be soaked in his sweat. Le Sigh .

But Jon Foreman was such a sweetheart. He held hands with one of the people in the crowd and sang . It was amazing. He was absolutely mental though . He was so full of life and was jumping EVERWHERE. He even shredded his guitar with his TEETH. Switchfoot really knows how to entertain a crowd.


During one of the songs ,( I think it was American Dream ) the band literally FROZE for about a minute and a half . It was fucking amazing. The lights went off , and they remained in their cool positions. It was mind-blowing.


They remixed “ Gone “ . They played the intro to Beyonce`s “ Crazy in Love” and mashed it with “ Gone”.

The lights went off again. Pitch darkness . And then Jon comes out with an acoustic guitar . And starts strumming … it was Only Hope.

Fucking amazing really.

After the crowd shouted “ We WANT MORE WE WANT MORE “ ..

Jon comes out again , this time with a “ I LOVE KL “ shirt . Which I found absolutely adorable,and started playing the intro of “Dare you to move”.

First concert for the year 2008 , and it was awesome.

The list of songs they played (not in order):

  • Oh! gravity
  • Stars
  • Politicians
  • Lonely nation
  • On Fire
  • Only hope
  • This is your life
  • Dirty second hands
  • We are one tonight
  • Awakening
  • Gone
  • Learning to breathe
  • American dream
  • The shadow proves the sunshine
  • Meant to live
  • Dare you to move
