Nina Alive and Kicking At Hard Rock Cafe

Last night we went at Hard rock cafe to watch nina perform live. I'm with Marhgil, Marco and our girlfriends(except marhgil, claiming he'll just snatch one at the venue). We arrived at the venue 730pm and since we went straight from the office we haven't had our dinner yet. Since I don't like the taste of hardRock's food (read between the lines please, "Je veux économiser mon argent précieux!!") we have to go out to have dinner. The staff won't allow us to do so we have to eat by batch :-).

Fast Forward... 9:30pm. This is the supposed to be start of the show, but as Filipinos we are very accustomed to this. We were joking that maybe they will just play clips of Nina in concert at the wall screen since it was not indicated on the banners outside that she will perform live.Stupid assumptions though. A few more ticks of the clock, and finally the DJ officially announced the start of the show. Nina just came out of nowhere, singing a cut from her Nina Live Album, Stay (with me). She was awesome, not to mention hot. As expected, most of the songs she sang came from the live album with the exception of "I believe I can fly" and medley of Hale's "The day you said goodnight" (I liked her version more than the original :-) ) and Cueshe's "Stay". We were very much satisfied with her stunning performance.


Nina in action :-)

Closing remarks... Any idea where the name "Hard Rock Cafe" came from? According to the Washington Times (7/2/97), when a Virginia High School student exposed mice to hard rock music 10 hours a day for three weeks, their ability to navigate a maze they already knew decreased significantly. A control group, exposed to classical music, actually improved their maze time. The experiment was cut short because the hardrock mice ate each other. My version is, if you go to Hard Rock Cafe and you're not "ready", you will end up banging your head to any hard rock you will see soon after you've paid the bills :-)

Ciao!
