Engelbert Humperdinck Live In Malaysia 2010

The King Of Songs, Engelbert Humperdinck  performed to a full-house audience at the Arena Of Stars in Resorts World Genting, Malaysia on 19 June 2010.


Lest you think of him as just another singer who's past his prime and sort of over the hill, coming to Asia to 'cari makan', Engelbert was in top form at the peak of the hills in Genting, hitting all the high notes and delivered a lively power-packed and entertaining performance worth every cent forked out! An amazing feat indeed for a 74 year old singer who's currently sweeping the world on his Legacy of Love World Tour. The next stops in his world tour include Manila, Philippines and Singapore on 22 and 24 June respectively.

Just like any 'young at hearts' of my generation who grew up during our teens listening to Engelbert's songs; the music and words to all his biggest hits still live in our hearts and minds. Amazing indeed, considering 43 years have passed since his first hit Release Me in 1967.

Without any prompting from Engelbert, the whole arena concert hall was reverberating with the combined voices of the audience singing along with him on most of his earlier hit songs he performed that night.

Some of the songs performed by Engelbert include:
After The Loving, You Don't Know Me, Quando Quando Quando, Have You Ever Loved A Woman, The Last Waltz, Les Bicyclettes De Belsize, This Moment In Time, There Goes My Everything, Spanish Eyes, Sweetheart, Release Me and the finale My Way.

On the way out, I managed to grab a copy of the Legacy of Love World Tour (11x14 inch size) photo book. The 40 pages inside are filled with lots of rare, unseen photos which include private family photos. Well worth the price of RM40.00 paid.
