I went to my very first Pamungkas' live show. Long story short, I've been noticing this man right after his song "To the Bone" was booming. My turn over was when I got a change of heart to finally looked up to his music.. It was because, well... not gonna lie that couple of his songs were on my Spotify repeat list. But I will make you clear that this the 5th album of his is slightly a get go why I am listening him in a serious manner. And due to that, I bought his tour ticket in Jakarta, like about two months ago.
His 5th album entitled "Hardcore Romance" from the title we must expect every songs of the album should be talking about love, right. I expected the lyrics would kind of romanticism in Pamungkas way, it is true. What I did not expect was his music for me is a pure bless. Just listened in a one sit his album, unexpectedly advertised by Spotify, it got me hooked.
Talk about his live show which was held in Produksi Film Negara (PFN Heritage), East Jakarta. I didn't know how many songs he played though. What I know that the band was played for about more or less two hours. I was there right 30 minutes before the gate open. The queue was started even before 6 pm I suppose. Lot people coming to the show, Pams said for Jakarta it was 800 tickets sold in total. Jakarta is the final venue of the Hardcore Romance Tour, there were 7 other cities. Opener for the show were Jyma and Romantic Echoes.
All the people who came were singing to the songs. It was my first experience to feel the ambiance of Pamungkas live show. Fans cheered and sang the song, all of them.. such a happy feeling to see.. Pamungkas played all the songs from Hardcore Romance, and others song such as Bambina, Jealousy, (Beep), Wait a Minute, Riding the Wave, Live Forever. He also did a short cover which made me gasped a bit... was he played Queen of California by John Mayer... I must admit that Pamungkas is beloved by his listener, and it mainly mutual in every album he released.
Apart from the show, he also did a banter.. most of it was to bridging to his next song played.. one moment still stuck on my mind was when he described the love he knew was differ as what he thought it was. He said that the 'love' he viewed was shifted, he was once a hopeless romantic, a provider. His meaning of loving someone right know is when someone gives support on everything. He said the it consists of "I got your back" feeling.
Lastly, I wanna give thanks to Pamungkas and the team, the show was really neat. I don't think I like the bubble though, it is all good hehehe... I bought stickers of him, I'll keep it as souvenirs, thinking of putting up one of the stickers on my motorcycle, but I'll think about it again... Thank you for stopping by, have a great day...
