This is the 27th performance of the year and 2nd performance of the year with the band. The is the first date of Asia Leg of touring for 2014. There were going to be 2 other dates in Singapore and Manila prior to this concert, but those shows were canceled. Following this show, the band will play Tokyo to end this shortened tour through Asia. The last time Chan played in Taiwan was just over 10 years ago. 

With the exception of the Weezer Cruise performance in February, Chan had been playing only solo concerts since 11/6/13. There will be a couple more solo concerts later this summer, but for the most part the band now returns to tour with Chan. 

Its also worth pointing out that this is the first concert with the Sun Touring Band in which none of the pre-programmed tracks from the Sun album are used. The band is now playing totally live. 

First 16 minutes of the concert: 
The Greatest, Cherokee & Lord Help the Poor & Needy(!)

Man, ''Lord Help'' was probably the last song I was hoping would come into the setlist. Even so, nice to see the band adding some new material. "The Moon" was played at the Weezer thing, but this is the first video of the band playing it. Also cool to see ''Good Woman'' with the band. Excited to watch all the videos!

Did you notice that Manhattan was played without the pre-recorded keyboard loop? I can't say if it's a first or if it has already been done this way.

At its last performance for which I have audio (8/10/13, last show of the Sun Tour, not counting the private party and the weezer cruise), ''Manhattan'' had the intro. So yes, this is new. The band is moving further away from the pre-programmed stuff, this is always good.

Checking out ''Cherokee'' and it too is completely live now. Looks like the days of having double vocals and pre-programmed instruments are over.  

Full concert, front row video. Excellent, excellent, excellent. 

An encore: what a surprise!

 Finally had a chance to watch this whole thing. A very cool concert! Despite a lot of feedback during the last couple songs, Chan seemed to be in an especially good mood. I loved the mock-boxing match between her and Gregg. Also, cool that she took a moment to introduce everyone in the band. I dont recall her doing that before. A show with only 3 songs from the Sun album, wow!

Whoa! The concert was longer!!!! And there is a whole new set of videos! How cool!!

Great Expectations? Silver Stallion! Neat!!!

Well, with only 2 songs from the album played, i think that it's a safe bet to say that it's not the SUN tour anymore.

Future playlists should be interesting to read. More songs played during the solo concerts could be included.
