We reached at National Science Centre area at 8.15pm. The area was already concentrated with cars, to avoid hassle in searching a parking, we just parked our car at the road site even the Equestrian Resort is still 2km ahead. We choose to walk rather than berhimpit2 keta parking at the concert area (infact kat sini pun kereta dah beratur panjang). I wondered why the organizer choose to perform the concert here as this is the elite area. Tempat orang kaya main kuda. Parking area was limited and of course people got no choice to park their car properly. I saw here and there the cars were blocking the traffic. This had me think why UNGU (band from Indonesia who on the same day had also perform a concert) can get a place at Bukit Jalil Stadium of course with sufficient facilities and spacious area while 2 Malaysian MEGA-Rock band just got the place that hassle for the fans to watch. No public transport, far and limited space. Is it a Double Standard?? However all these does'nt stop all the die hard fan to experience the greatest performance from 2 legend of Rock band ever!!
Most people came with cars which gave me an impression that most of Search and Wings supporters were already married and came with family. As these band were famous at the 80's, of course the suppoters are among people in the age of 35 and above. Ini sekaligus menunjukkan bahawa peminat Search dan Wings merentasi zaman. Sudah turun dari generasi ke genrasi baru. Dulu bapak minat, sekarang anak pula yang follow. Berapa ramai band atau penyanyi di Malaysia yang sehebat begini?
After about 15mins of walking plus 10 mins berasak2 depan stadium, finally we made it into the stadium, and choose to stand and the centre of the stadium. We arrived a bit late, so we have to watch it from some distance, but managed to snap few pictures of the photos.
As DJ Ismahalil, the emcee that nite announced the opening of the concert, all the 20,000 fans cheered in excitement!
Sharp at 8.45pm, the concert started with the killer song of Double Trouble … GEMURUH! Such a wise choice of song selection to nail our feet on the ground.
Para penonton terus melonjak kegirangan dan turut menyanyikan sekali. Yang mana bawa famili dan sudah berumur, mereka hanya menonton dari tempat duduk stadium. Yang mana masih muda dan bertenaga, mereka berdiri di tengah padang (like us). After that, both Search & Wings took turn to perform & at the later part, again combining performing their songs.
First half of the concert, Search dan Wings came with the un-friendly/un-commercial songs. Only the true hardcore might know the songs. However in the middle of the concert, the killer songs like Balada Pemuzik Jalanan, Isi atau Kulit, Gadisku, Fenomena, Opera Hidup, Misteri Mimpi Syakila, Sejati, Taman Rashidah Utama and Sejati were performed. This time fans were already become histeria. Sampai ada yang pengsan. Biasalah tu, terlebih seronok agaknya.
Keunikkan konsert kali ini, we were just not entertained by a vocal challenge from Amy n Awie,
they also appreciated their backbones as the drummer Yazid (Search) and Black (Wings)and Guitarist Kid (Search) and Joe (Wings) also "berentap" to show their skills and expertice.
15mins with great performance and really SUPERB!!
My most favourite moment was when they performed Nur Nilam Sari and Semalam Yg Hangat (yes both from Wings even they sang in duo)where I enjoyed the most and had it recorded. Honestly even I under estimated Awie stamina in the beginning, I think Wings was more "menonjol" than Search. Awie vocal can still "pukul" and did'nt "pancit" at all. Maybe of the age factor (Wings is much younger than Search) and the song selection. Ape2 pun nothing can compare the 2 bands as they are special in their own leage and consider an asset to our music industry.

Our saviour, suitable for all circumtances. Imagine if we wore boots or high heel with the 2km walks....
Lina was so excited to take picture with this guy (he and his member one team wore a very 80's attire completed with wig, bandana, thight pants and what so ever). According to Kayrie mamat nie pelakon, no wonder la Jambu kan.... :P
Overall, I really enjoyed the concert. Worth the RM70 paid. Kalau ade yg kurang pun its just when they sang the killer songs in medley. Bukan ape x puas la...
Concert ended at 12pm. After almost 3hrs standing, thinking of kena menapak lagi 2km balik, adoi. Org ramai berasak2 keluar, we bought some drinks and headed to our car. Flatted, sampai2 umah terus mandi and went to bed.
Back in 17 years ago, when the first Double Trouble concert held, I was still young. Never came cross in my mind that the following 17 years, on the 1st May 2010, I will be one of the history of 2nd Double Trouble Concert! To Search dan Wings - Thanks for all the great shows. Lu orang memang otai brader!!
P/S : Konsert UNGU at Stadium Putra only 2000 orang yang datang. Konsert Tokio hotel kat OU yang ada bunkface pun 4000 je. Yang pergi buat konsert serentak dengan otai apahal? Bole bukak sikit mata2 penganjur yg asyik mendewakan penyanyi dr luar. Just to add, Awie did mentioned that they will have the next Double Trouble Concert sometime in June, with venue at Stadium Larkin, Johor Bahru. So for the Southern Rockers, watch out, here come the Double Trouble. I bet U wont never regret!!
