The one-night concert Cliff Richard gave in the Hong Kong Coliseum started shortly after 8 o’clock on Wednesday night with perfection and style : The band, stage settings and superb pyrotechnics flawless just as the man himself. He bounced onto the stage, clad in a black evening suit and silvery white shirt and sang with a voice as strong as that of a 30-year old - and not that of a man who has just turned 62 – to an enthusiastic( if somewhat elderly) audience packing the venue.
Having returned to Hong Kong after 20 years, he managed to fascinate the fans with a brilliant show of songs, dance and chat worthy of a true world star .
His songs included :
We don’t talk anymore
Wanted
Over the rainbow
Constantly
The Evergreen Tree
Living doll (He changed the lyrics to Hong Kong doll….)
Strangers
Girl in your Arms
She’s just a devil woman
What’s love got to do with it?
Come little darling
Crystal Ball
Do you want to dance?
Claudette
Bachelor Boy
It’s so easy
Summer holiday
An Elvis Potpourri
Wired for sound
She’s my baby
No particular place to go
Come little darling
Shake, Baby ,shake
Congratulations
And finally the Millenium song “PRAYER FOR PEACE” .
For the second half of the show, he changed into leather trousers, a white lace-up shirt and a leather vest – eyes hidden behind shades which he threw to the audience. Towards the end, he changed again, this time into a glittery top and red and black shoes.
He was showered with flowers and garlands by adoring fans during the performance. They were all received with charm, grace and his trademark politeness.
We are sure Cliff Richard’s tour will be as successful as his night in the coliseum.
