Was so excited to go for Ed Sheeran's Divide tour though its 3 to 4 hours from Singapore. Bought the tickets through a friend and off I go. I was counting down to the concert as this is my first concert in this year and pretty excited about it. His music revolves around his guitar and his talent. Ed Sheeran is a one man show performer which made me rather impressed and salute him. It's hard to perform with many musical instruments on a stage to a large audience.
So, we went for the concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and according to him, Malaysia is the biggest audience he will be performing for. Looking at the crowd, I have no doubt about it. The roads are already jammed with cars, with the concert, it adds on to the severity of the jam. We went rather earlier at 6pm when his opening begins only at 9pm to avoid the jam. It was a crowd of about 50,000 to 60,000. the capacity of the stadium is about 80,000 +. Wow, i was stunned! The stadium was open space and humid. Should have dressed lighter knowing that it is not air-conditioned. I wonder how does the standing section tolerate the heat and standing and screaming together. The POWER of Ed Sheeran!
The concert started with One OK Rock Band (japanese band). they made the crowd high but not for us as we were trying to cool ourselves down after sitting down ;/ at the same time, people are still streaming in :) Ed Sheeran came in about 9pm, on the dot with a simple opening and acoustic music. Some music were familiar but some not. He sang the "love yourself" by Justin Bieber as a special performance . I really love the visual effects of his performance, each song has a different effect and story to tell. That would be one of the highlights in his performance!
The "galway girl" song has a nice visual effects. Ed Sheeran must be feeling warm hahaha. just the start of his performance, he is already sweating. The weather is really hot nowadays..His performance lasted about 2hrs. "Perfect", "thinking out loud", "Shape of You" and "Photograph" is my favourite few choice of songs. So happy that he sang them all. His performance was a blast; he managed to perform many songs through the night and interacted with us. Worth my money, if only I can see him closer, then that would be great!-
