The Journey Continues, Tobago tonight.
The voices, the people and the colours of reggae music were in full sight last night (Saturday).
Journey the Concert, was a great success as the venue was ram to capacity. As advertise the show was on schedule. By 11p.m. the venue was packed with patrons who were accompanied by the special guest D.j’s throughout the evening into morning, gearing up the crowd for showtime.
Local Reggae Star Jah Melody graced the stage with his presents, at about 11:30p.m. as he performed a number of his hits songs.
Afterwards, the Richie Spice was introduced on stage, and was welcomed with a great crowd response. The patrons greeted him with flames from their lighters, as signal from their cell phones wave from left to right in the air. After a few seconds Spice responded to the crowd with the traditional greeting saying, “Greetings in the name of the highest Jah - Rastafari”! Backed up by Jah Cure’s band “Highly Cure”, Spice had the patrons in a frenzy while he sang some of the his biggest songs in the reggae industry such as Brown Skin, Earth Run Red, Gideon Boot, Eye don’t See, Street Life and Black Like A Tar. During his performance, Spice enlighten the youth of living a more positive life, and striving for the betterment of living.
Richie Spice performed for approximately 1hr 15min's. Spice performance was well received by the patrons as he was called back on stage for an Encore.
The main performance was Jah Cure, gracing the stage at King George the V Park at approximately 1:30a.m. Wearing a full suite of white, Jah Cure suddenly appeared on stage a few minutes after he was introduced by the MC of the show. This made the crowd go wild, while he had the ladies screaming at the top of their voices. As he appeared Cure had to to stop the band, because he wanted to talk to his people before going further, saying “Trinidad meh love yuh, Trinidad me love yuh, YEAH!” That was his main line throughout his entire performance.
As Cure sang into the microphone, the vibes some were feeling was like something they never experienced before, raising the pours of some many, while other could only stand in shock. Jah Cure was in full swing interacting with the audience letting them be a part of the action, while they sang along with him.
Cure who’s currently dominating the reggae industry with his smashing hits like, Call on me, Only You, Two Way Street, and Journey brought it live to the stage delivering what some people taught was amazing. Cure like Richie Spice was called back on stage numerous times for an Encore performance. As he seemed to be really interested in the lady’s saying “Trini Girls yuh ah D the best niceness looking girls in the Caribbean".
Cure performance lasted about two and a half hours before his time was up and the show came to an end by 3a.m.
On my side, I had my V.I.P pass, but did not get me enough access that I needed to capture footage, because there was backstage but security was beefed up and they weren't taking any chance letting anyone in that section. In the V.I.P section the crowd was like a general crowd, so I did not want to get crush due to the number of people who was already in front of the stage.
However, my digital cam was put to some use where I got to capture some live audio and some photos, not to the best quality so not sure if I would be posting them up. I would edit and mix some of the audio and post it up as soon as possible, so you would get a vibes about how the concert was.
