It felt more like an intimate gathering of friends and like-minded individuals than a musical performance. Instead of speaking down from the stage, the performers conversed with the audience, each song prefaced with an explanation of its motive.

The talented musicians, complemented by proficient sound engineering, provided a comfortable listening experience. As I later learned as a subsequent performance, frontal speaker placement at the expense of the artist’s having monitors was key to ensuring balanced sound.

The songs themselves were a celebration of times, places, and emotions, on the brink of their existence. Some were old folk standards, others drinking songs, yet others politically motivated satires. All songs instilled a sense of community, inspiring reflection concerning one’s sense of self, and how this identity is guided by the changes, pressures, and experiences of the surrounding society. To ease the pain of this mental effort, all sorts of beverages were provided free of charge (including alcohol), solidifying the already present sense of comfortable camaraderie. We were only one step away (free tickets) from leaving the construct of capitalism altogether, and perhaps we all wished for that to happen. Nevertheless, in conjunction with the night’s theme of cherishing the past and looking to the future, we must admit that as society evolves, so do the requirements for those living within it.

改編台灣本產的禁歌金曲,用詼諧調侃的方式穿插每首選曲的背景與原由。輕鬆不做作,大聲唱大口喝啤酒,由四位熱愛音樂所組成的Coca-Koala,帶來一個愉快小悶的夜晚。

當每首歌刷下最後的和弦,唱完最後一句的當下,我都有同樣的感覺,小悶。好像這個世代只能選擇用這樣阿Q的態度,去面對自己的生活與未來吧!好過用抱怨與憎忿去填滿一切。生活如此,音樂亦也如此。

當中我最喜歡的是「小鬼湖之戀」,很美的一首魯凱族歌謠,唱的很好。最佳編曲是「燒肉粽」,68拍輕爵士轉4拍。比較有問題的是「口是心非」,編曲上可以再大膽一點,反正要玩就……倒是沒說為什麼選這首,這首有被禁嗎?

其它意見:吉他手有點小緊張,編曲內容可以再考慮,當鋼琴已經很滿,與它重疊的部份可以改彈多一些間奏或插音。
