剛剛從美國回來，由天堂重回現實。重新投入工作一天，還是有點不太適應。幸好晚上就有機會去調劑一下。太太知道我是個喜歡許冠傑和譚詠麟這兩位天皇巨星，所以在出發去美國之前托朋友買了票和我一起去欣賞這演唱會。
It was my first working day after return from my fantastic California trip back to reality. I was still struggling to adapt to office atmosphere. Luckily I got this concert to cheer me up again. My wife asked her friend to purchase tickets of the concert as she knew that I love listening to the songs of Sam Hui and Alan Tam, real super stars!
離演唱會開始還有半個小時，紅磡香港體育館已經有多條長長的人龍等待進場。如果你不熟悉香港，你可能不知道香港體育館用作舉辦體育活動的次數是非常之少的，它最經常舉辦的活動是演唱會。而且香港所有歌手都以在這裏舉辦演唱會為事業的目標之一。
There were lines formed at Hong Kong Coliseum at least 30 minutes before the concert started. For those who are not familiar with Hong Kong, Hong Kong Coliseum is mostly use for concerts. Against the original purpose of it, there are very rare occasions while sports activities are held in this facility. In fact, it is now a career goal of all Hong Kong singers to be able to have their own concert in it.
可見排隊的絕大部分都是很有人生經驗的人士，包括我們在內。
Majority of the audience are not young, including us.
進場後發現每個坐位都有一支光棒。不過它是被綁在坐椅上，意味着大會並不準備讓觀眾帶它離開。我們都覺得兩位巨星為什麼會這麼小家子氣，後來發現是並非這樣。
There were these sticks attached to each and every chairs. Since they are all tied up, they were not meant to be carried away. We wondered why the two super stars would do something as cheap as this. Later on, we found out why, and there was a legitimate reason behind.
演唱會未開始，當然要拍照一番。
It was always photo shooting and selfie time before the concert started.
大約8時20分，主角出場了！接下來就是我期待已久的表演。雖然兩位巨星已經是一把年紀（許冠傑，生於1948年9月6日，接近69歲。 譚琛麟， 生於1950年8月23日，亦已經差不多67歲), 但歌藝仍舊是十分出色。不過歲月催人老，從他們舞台上的生硬動作就知道他們真的是老了。但這無損這演唱會的質量，因為我還是以聽歌為主。
The show started at about 20:20. Although they are already around their 70 (Sam Hui, 6th Sept, 1948, almost 69. Alan Tam, 23 Aug, 1950, almost 67), their performances were still stunning! Of course, dancing part of the show still exposed their real ages. However, that won't affect quality of the show and I was there for their songs, not dances.
在表演開始之後，譚校長(即譚詠麟)就介紹了那一支光棒，原來它是表演道具之一。大會可以控制每支光棒的顏色，以營造不同的光影效果。
Shortly after the show was started, Alan Tam described how the stick should be used. It was actually one the props of the show. It could be remotely set to different colours, in order to produce different lighting effects.
整個演唱會基本上可以說是沒有嘉賓，因為兩位巨星有大量的名曲和足夠的實力去充實整個演唱會。就如他們自己所說，他們的名曲，就算每晚都唱不同的歌，都足夠讓他們唱上一個星期。不似其他的歌手要請大量的嘉賓以填補演唱會中的空檔時間。不過，大會還是安排了許冠傑的兩名兒子作嘉賓表演了兩首歌。我覺得目的是提攜歌神(許冠傑)的兩名不甚了了的兒子，而不是為了填補空檔。所以說，成功是沒有遺傳的。
There was no guests (which was not very accurate) because the two super stars have enough good songs and skills to complete the show. As per their own saying, it would take them a week to have a repeated song in their show even if they only pick non-repeated songs every night. This is the power of real stars. A lot of "Hong Kong Stars" who also hold their concerts here, need to invite many guests to their concert in order to fill the voids. There were actually 2 "guests", sons of Sam Hui. However, my feeling was their father would like to promote these brothers as they were still nobody in Hong Kong. Well, success simply cannot be inherited.
除了一開始有兩段由另外兩位天皇巨星郭富城和劉德華的獨白片段介紹歌神和譚校長出場之外，到了後段還有由另一位「男神」黃子華的兩段關於歌神和校長的「棟篤笑」表演。是當晚的最大驚喜！
At the beginning of the show, two other super starts, Aaron Kowk and Andy Lau did video introductions. In addition to them, another celebrity, Dayo Wong Tze Wah, the best standup comedian in Hong Kong, gave his kudos to Sam and Alan via 2 video comedies. What a big surprise!
演唱會在大約晚上11時半結束。據說之前試過表演至午夜，可惜當晚並非如此。不過仍舊帶結我們一個精彩絕倫的一晚。多謝兩位樂壇天皇！
The concert ended at about 23:30. People said they ended at about mid-night in one of the previous shows, unfortunately we were not luckily enough. Still the show was great! Thank you so much Sam and Tam!
