Chapter 925 Rock and roll never die, youth never regrets (12,000~)
One day many years later, a restored video suddenly appeared on Station B. The entire video lasted nearly eight hours.
However, the number of clicks continued to rise, becoming the most viewed video on station B that day. Later, this video was also pushed to the top of the search rankings!
Fans are forgetful. At that time, you took a microphone and interviewed boys and girls who were only eighteen or nineteen years old or in their early twenties on the street, and asked them who Cui Jian was, who Tang Chao was, and who He Yong was.
, who is Zhang Chu......
Maybe these boys and girls don't know, because they are not from the same era, they have their own preferences!
But when this video was pushed to the top of the search rankings, everyone who saw it was shocked by the madness at that time.
They never thought that their parents, who they regarded as somewhat stereotyped, would behave in such crazy ways when they were young.
Middle-aged people in their thirties and forties rarely post their own comments online. Their principle is to read what they like and change what they don’t like. They will not express their personal preferences on the barrage, or
It's to troll a certain celebrity.
But when this video appeared, those who often like to read barrage comments found that there were many exclamations from their parents' generation!
I saw my youth!
It turns out I was this crazy too!
I really miss the passion of that time and our youth!
A topic called "Missing Youth" quietly started on the Internet and gradually formed a prairie fire.
There is a netizen whose online ID is "Procedure is not Bald Ape". He wrote a long article on Weibo, "In memory of my craziest youth - the first Strawberry Music Festival!", which was quickly pushed again.
On the hot search list.
I am born in the 1970s. In 1994, I was attending university in Yanjing. When I was in school, I liked to discuss poetry and study music with a few buddies in the dormitory. This is the normal behavior of college students in our era.
In 1994, one day in September, I saw a report in a newspaper whose name I had forgotten, that Chinese rock musicians held a new rock concert in Hong Kong.
At that time, several buddies in our dormitory were sitting in the dormitory, reading newspapers, with envy in their voices. I remembered the boss of our dormitory (by the way, he was really bald...
..) It’s a pity that I couldn’t experience such a shocking concert in person!
Later, the second child in our dormitory, through some connections, got the VCD of this concert. When we saw this concert on TV, everyone was so shocked that they lost their voices.
At that time, if you asked people of our generation which was the greatest concert, we would definitely give you two answers. One was the 'Saving Life Concert' held in the 1980s, and the other was the one held in Hong Kong.
A concert by a new rock force.
But we never expected that such an answer would change dramatically in just one month!
Then we saw the news in the newspaper that Tangting Culture was going to hold the Strawberry Music Festival. We also learned that Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, and Paul McCartney would also appear at the Strawberry Music Festival.
The six people in our dormitory went completely crazy, shouting that they must participate in this Strawberry Music Festival!
Under the leadership of the boss of the dormitory, we came to the ticket office. We thought we had arrived early enough, but we didn’t expect that there were people earlier than us. When we came to the ticket office, the queue to buy tickets had already formed.
There is a long queue. If you look at the front from the end of the queue, you cannot see the one at the front...
Our only worry at that time was that we wouldn't be able to buy tickets when it was our turn!
But fortunately, after queuing for several hours, we finally bought the tickets. Let me complain here. The children now are really happy. They have never experienced the kind of queues to buy tickets. They just need to click on their mobile phones.
Just be a little lighter.
Although we had queued for several hours, we did not feel tired at all. Instead, we looked extremely excited with the tickets to the Strawberry Music Festival in our hands!
We were finally able to watch a shocking concert live!
Yes, even though the concert has not started yet, we are already sure that this will be a shocking concert.
On the opening day of the music festival, the six of us arrived at the Strawberry Music Festival early. Because it was not yet time to enter, we could only wait outside like other fans. The first thing that shocked us the most was that Shou
The security personnel outside include people from security companies, as well as police and armed police teams responsible for the security of this concert.
Quietly give them a thumbs up!
People say that the waiting time is the longest, and this is also true for us. But luckily, there are thousands of fans at the scene just like us, waiting to enter. You can see us everywhere at the scene.
A young man about the same age, with long shawl hair, wearing a leather jacket and leather pants, and carrying a guitar!
Thinking about it now, I still vaguely feel that I might have seen Wang Banbi among the fans waiting to enter the venue, and it seemed to be Xu Wei. Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. When I have time, I will ask the third child in the dormitory. He was
He took photos, maybe these people can be found in his photos.
Everyone gathered around and talked about how excited they were to be able to attend this concert.
As 1pm arrived, staff began to arrange for us to enter and wait.
There was still a long line of people moving forward slowly, and everyone slowly walked into the venue.
The front row of the venue was a huge stage, which was no different from those at current music festivals.
On the stage, you can see Gao Gao Jin and others auditioning. From the program list of the Strawberry Music Festival, we know that Gao Gao Jin and others are at the warm-up level...
There are no seats here. We all swarmed and wanted to run to the nearest seat in front, but there was no way. There were people who ran faster than us. In fact, there were people who wanted to fish in troubled waters at this time, but were stopped by the security guards and armed police on site.
Those who were shocked no longer had such courage.
But our location is not bad either, and we can clearly see the situation on the stage!
I don't know where, "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" directed by Wu Jianye suddenly came out, and it slowly became a chorus, with tens of thousands of people singing in it. Looking back now, that scene was really shocking!
In fact, when the singing started, everyone on the stage including Gao Gaojin and others were also startled, but I could see envy in their eyes.
To be honest, several people in our dormitory still prefer Gao Waqiang, Lao Lang and others, especially their collaborations "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk" and "You at the Same Table".
I don’t know what happened to my deskmate?
Closer to home, we didn’t seem to have to wait too long before the music festival officially started.
The first ones to take the stage were Gao Gaijian, Lao Lang and others.
I heard that they also formed a bronze band, but I don't know if those people on stage are members of the bronze band.
The first song they sang was the familiar song "Brother Sleeping on My Top Bunk". It was obvious that the audience knew this song because many people were accompanying them.
Sing together.
The brother who sleeps on my upper bunk
Silent you
The questions you once asked me
Now no one asks about it anymore
........
As I write this, I begin to miss the other five brothers in our dormitory. After graduation, everyone returned to their respective cities. It has been several years since we got together. Brothers, I miss you!
After "Who's My Brother in the Upper Bunk" was sung, it was the confessional song of our era, "My Deskmate."
I remember that when Lao Wu was pursuing his girlfriend, he sang this song downstairs in their dormitory with his guitar.
Youth is really beautiful!
Ballads are songs that can really resonate with fans. For the following songs, everyone was singing along and the atmosphere was always high.
But it was still far from crazy. Until Cui Jian's debut, in that era when director Wu Jianye no longer released albums, Cui Jian was the godfather of rock and roll in the hearts of our generation!
"Rock and Roll on the New Long March", "Hate of Fake Actions", "Nothing", "A Piece of Red Cloth", the crowd in the audience was already boiling, and people of different ages sang in unison with this sonorous and powerful rock sound.
, tears of joy flowed down his face.
When Cui Jian finished his performance, he was about to leave, but the fans in the audience cheered Cui Jian's name in unison, and then we really called Cui Jian back. After repeating this twice, Cui Jian left again.
During the performance, the fans stood in tacit understanding and waited for Cui Jian to return. In the end, Cui Jian returned four times, and his vivid performance made the fans enthusiastic.
Rock music may have been lonely once, but today among thousands of people singing together, we can see the vastness of the sea and the sky - rock music will never die, and life will never end.
Each band that appeared later also gave their most wonderful performances. Every band or singer gave their most wonderful performances at this concert.
When we read about the new rock concert held in Hong Kong, it was written that some fans fainted because they were too excited. We didn't really believe it, but when we saw this concert
When I saw it, I knew that such a thing was not an exaggeration, but a reality!
Because about a third of the way through the concert, we already saw people being carried away on stretchers...
After the 1989 band finished singing, I finally waited for my idol Paul McCartney. He sat next to the piano and gently played and sang the song "I can't remember how many times I have played it".
Let it be》.
In my lifetime, this is the only time I see Paul McCartney singing live, this life is enough!
He Yong stood on the stage and shouted: Girls of Yanjing, are you beautiful?
Just like when he once shouted out at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong, tens of thousands of people at the scene responded in unison: Beautiful!
I have never felt that someone can perform so explosively on stage, and maybe not many people remember He Yong now, but what I want to say is, if you miss He Yong's performance, it will be a lifetime experience for you.
Pity!
At this time, the number of stretchers gradually increased.
Then we seemed to be in the palace of rock and roll. Zhang Chu, Dou Laoxian, Compass, etc. all appeared on stage one after another, and the scene was completely blown away.
Even Zhang Chu, who has always been steady, actually directed the audience to play human waves...
Bob Dylan came on the stage, which made the boss very excited. At this time, the boss was not bald, and he still had black and shiny hair, but at this time, his black hair was hanging on his forehead like a damp, waving his arms, and
The audience at the scene chanted Bob Dylan's name together!
In fact, it was getting dark by this time, but the atmosphere at the scene became more and more lively, because everyone knew that Michael Jackson was about to appear!
In fact, there were four people who could appear as the finale guests at this concert: Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney and director Wu Jianye.
However, what is actually on the program list is that Director Wu Jianye appears as the finale guest. Today's young people may still have the impression of Director Wu Jianye in those classic films that have left a name in film history, whether at home or abroad.
They are all top directors with great reputation, but in the hearts of our generation and even the generation older than ours, Director Wu Jianye is actually the leader of our Chinese rock music!
This Strawberry Music Festival was organized by Director Wu Jianye, and the three Michael Jacksons were also invited by Director Wu Jianye!
Let’s get back to the topic!
Michael Jackson's appearance at this time is actually in line with international concert conventions. In our Chinese concert, the last guest is the finale, but in Europe and the United States, this time period is the finale.
In addition, Michael Jackson also brought wonderful dance to the audience, so we saw Michael Jackson and his dance troupe on the stage before it completely darkened!
At this time, the lights on the stage were extremely bright!
When Michael Jackson came on stage, the shouting never stopped. I could clearly hear that the voice of the person next to me was hoarse, but it didn't stop him from roaring!
Michael Jackson gave us a top-notch performance. Breakdancing has been popular in China for a long time, and they also regard Michael Jackson as a great god!
I am honored to see Michael Jackson's performance live. Thank you to the Strawberry Music Festival, director Wu Jianye, and thank you to the medical workers who helped carry away the fans who passed out at the scene!
When night falls completely, everyone has forgotten the time and even hopes that this kind of singing will never end.
Unfortunately, when we saw director Wu Jianye on stage, everyone knew that this exciting music festival was coming to an end!
Originally, I thought that director Wu Jianye would sing "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" just like he did at the Hung Hom Theater.
However, Director Wu Jianye sang a new song, but this song cannot be called a new song because it was already very popular in Yanjing. Rumor has it that Director Wu Jianye sang it for the first time at their class reunion.
Singing!
"Singer"!
But then director Wu Jianye also sang two songs, "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" and "Lonely People Are Shameful".
Director Wu Jianye, who only sang three songs, was about to leave the show, but we fans naturally refused to agree and shouted Wu Jianye's name one after another. Everyone was still unfinished.
What you saw next was that director Wu Jianye returned to the show several times, during which he and other singers performed impromptu on stage.
Especially the duet with Michael Jackson. The two sang "black or white" which shocked the audience. It was the craziest period of the performance!
The originally planned six-hour performance time unexpectedly increased by two hours!
