The Perfect Symmetry World Tour started the 29 September 2008 and finished 29 October 2009, with 121 shows over the whole world. The concert above was recorded at the Fort Canning Park. In front of 6,000 fans on August 13th, 2009. It was also their first ever concert in Singapore.
Everyone were singing the first verse of the song, amazing atmosphere and fantastic fans! I think it was an underrated concert because there wasn't that much music mags review the show.
Way above my expectations, these New Yorkers inspired by African popular music and Western classical music definitely did an amazing job at getting everyone on their feet. Everyone was dancing and by the end of the show, my leg was tired from shaking as i was seated. SOme of the girls refrained from seating down albeit the annoyance from the security measures taken to ensure everyone in my section was seated.
Every song felt like the beginning of the gig and Horchata was the first encore. What a great way to kick off the weekends.

With both shows sold out, this is definitely not one to be missed. Supported by Jupiter One, upbeat indie pop Damien Rice is how I'd define them. Not very interesting. Apparently, these New Yorkers would be supporting Regina's North American and Australian Tour.
After a long half-hour, Regina came up without a word and started he show with The Calculation. The lighting for the show was brilliantly in sync with her music which absolutely added class to her performance. Followed up by Eet, a song which i didn't expect her to whip out so quickly as it's quite a hit song and i was kinda expecting her to keep that for the encore. So the show was going through the exact sequence of her album Far's tracklist, then she skipped to Folding Chair and Ode to Divorce. Despite her wide range of vocals, she was very soft spoken as she was introducing her members which consist of a drummer, a violinist and a cellist.
Half way through she went solo as the other members left, leaving her on the grand piano to perform. It's amusing how she could churn instant lyrics out in a comedic way but representing a story or experience at the same time. Apart from the piano, she also played a baby blue guitar and single-handedly played the piano while using drum sticks to tap rhythms on the body of a chair. These various technique definitely was and interesting mix with her beatbox-ballad singing style. Apres Moi was one personal favorites of the set, deep and tensed albeit the Russian verse which i didn't understood shit. Occasionally someone from the crowd would shout "PLAY US FIDELITY! PLAY US SAMSON!", she would just chuckle.
Her encore was Samson, Us, Fidelity and Hotel Song. Absurd mash of songs which was bound to drive her fans crazy. For hotel song, singing was the only thing she did for once. Good mother fucking show.
