Okay, so this is the first part of my review..
I came little bit late, I missed RAN, Boogiemen, and Rafi & the beat. Beside the fact that I came late, JFP change the schedule on the D-Day. So I was upset, but its okay, still lots to watch.
The first one is Ras Muhammad. I don't like reggae, clearly. I never listen to Bob marley's songs. But somehow, he change the way I see, hear, and feel reggae music. So energetic and he combined the reggae with the other genre. Also he kept the idealism of his music. I was so enjoyed by him.
The second I watched is Pandji. At first, I underestimated him, because of the talks, but he got nice songs. The backing vocal which is his wife, is annoying. The voice is so high, and my ear can't accept it, most of the audience should be agree with me. He came to the stage and also invite lots of his friends, say Barry Likumahuwa, who played Indonesia Pusaka Instrumentally and slowly. Glenn Fredly, Yacko, Rayi, Kyriz also came to the stage. Most of his songs is about Indonesia. Nothing wrong, but I just don't like someone that have too big nationalism, nothing personal too.
Then I went to Avolution Stage, the stage where you have to be 18+ to enter, with some tricks, I managed to get in. There was Arrested Development in there. Black people always energetic with their live performances. Even though I don't know their songs, I can feel the beat.
After that, I watched Tangga and J-Flow. Tangga always improved and rearrange their songs. With nice composition and choreography, the show were perfect. J-Flow made some controversy in his show, he pour all of his disappointment to JFP, the audience clap, but it may affect J-Flow carrier in next JFP concert.
The best in the last, Tortured Soul. This is the band I've been waiting for. Since their departure in Java Jazz 2007, their name blew in Indonesian's Music. The show was great, especially the drummer that sing also. I admire his stamina, he play lot of songs, and some of it is medley, and do not forget that he is also sing. But, I have to say, their show was monotone, but the skill is unbelievable.
After that I went home
