Doing the soft-sand shuffle

The night was lit by stars and a crescent moon and the stage glowed in the bright rays of the spotlights.

Tina the “dancing queen” emerged on stage clad in a glittering and sexy costume to perform “Ninja”, “Jing Mai Klua”, “Pai Duay Kan Na” and “Prawatsart”, tracks dating back to her first three albums: 1990’s “Ninja”, 1992’s “Arwut Lub” and 1994’s “Red Beat” in 1994. 

Screams greeted J Jetrin’s arrival on stage to share the mic with Tina on his song “Kor Khrai Man Ja Pai Roo La” and a cover of superstar Thongchai “Bird” McIntyre’s “Ma Tham Mai”. The rap heartthrob then stood alone, keeping fans on their feet with tunes from his albums “J E Bor”, “108-1009”, “Choola Choola” and “Seventh Heaven”. He surprised the audience by singing a cover of Carabao’s “Bua Loy” only to forget some of the lyrics. 

Tina came back and kept the lively ambience going with a second dance set that included “Plick Lock”, “Mai Yak Rok”, “Lerk Hoe” and “Phood Aik Thi”, a massive hit from her fourth album, 1997’s “Golden Eyes”, then joined with J for “All I Wanna Do.” She also covered Thai-Vietnamese singer Sheranut “Namcha” Yusanonda’s “Rak Thae Yang Ngai”.

Tina and J allowed fans a chance to chill as they performed a set of ballads before being joined by Joey Boy for a cover of Bird’s new hit “Too Much So Much Very Much”.

Waving farewell, Tina and J handed over the stage to Joey Boy, who went into a non-stop medley of “Pak Takrai”, “Serakapoi”, and “I-Ba, I-Be, I-Bo,I-Bay” along with his group featuring Buddha Bless and Sing Nuea Suea Tai.

The set closed out with Joey Boy passing on responsibility for the evening’s entertainment to a DJ for some hot dance mix grooves. 

Now it was really time to dance.
