The other day I attended a concert where the band 五月天 (wu3yue4tian1 – Mayday) was playing.  They’re a group from 台湾 (tai2wan1 – Taiwan) who has been playing their form of 摇滚乐 (yao2gun3yue4 – rock music) for over a decade.  They make it very clear that they draw a lot of inspiration from the 披头四  (pi4tou2si4 – Beatles) and especially 约翰列侬 (yue1han4 li4nong2 – John Lennon).  His face was featured during some of the 视频 (shi4pin2 – videos) broadcast during the concert.  Besides that, there was a large plastic 电人 (dian4ren2 – robot) which looked like one of the 变形金刚 (bian4xing2jin1gang1 – Transformers) which shot 激光 (ji4guang1 – lasers) all around the arena.  Concertgoers waved their 荧光棒 (ying2guang1bang4 – lightsticks) as the stadium filled with their 掌声 (zhang3sheng1 – applause lit. palm sound).  It was a show to remember, as all the tickets had already been 卖光了 (mai4guang1le) and there wasn’t an empty seat in the house.  It was my first concert in the Greater China area, and I hope it won’t be the last!
