Another epidemic of 'Saturday Night Fever' sweeps through the Bangkok Convention Hall
Folks over 40 in their old-fashioned outfits flocked to the Bangkok Convention Hall at Central Lat Phrao last Saturday for the retro concert “Saturday Night Fever”, a frantic evening of disco.
Before the show there was much reminiscing in the lobby, where everyone had their photo taken against nostalgic backdrops.
Screams and applause filled the hall once the Boogie Knights from Las Vegas came onstage with a set of old favourites such as “Get Down Tonight”, “Let’s Groove”, “Super Freak” and “Bad Girl”. It’s a cover band, but handily delivered the fans back into the past in a proper party atmosphere.
The screams got louder when Burin Boonvisut joined the Knights for “Celebration” and “I Feel Good”. He then left the Vegas boys to get on with “That’s the Way I Like It”, “Night Fever” and “YMCA”.
The catchy intro to “I Love the Night Life” got everyone riled up again before Katreeya English, Supachaya “Bell” Lattisophonkul and Rhatha “Yayaying” Phongam appeared to sing “I Will Survive” with Mum Laconics.
The quartet then performed solos – Mum did “Hot Stuff”, Bell “I Should Be So Lucky”, Yayaying “One Night Only” and Kat “Holiday”. Then they all got back together again for “We are Family”.
The Boogie Knights returned to close the show with another set that included a medley of “Kung Fu Fighting” and “Play that Funky Music”.
