\nFrom the Twin Towers @Live 2011, 9th April 2011, down at the front of KLCC…<\/p>\n


\nColby O’Donis! (I came later and missed Joe Flizzow and Mizz Nina.)<\/p>\n


\nAsha Gill, one of the emcees…<\/p>\n


\nJoey G., the other emcee.<\/p>\n


\nHe… was to introduce a special guest.<\/p>\n


\nOur Malaysian Prime Minister, Dato’ Sri Najib Razak! (And of course, his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor…)<\/p>\n


\nHe launched the Petronas PRIMAX95 Xtra fuel.<\/p>\n


\nAfter pouring the fuel in, the stage was lit in green.<\/p>\n


\nA flat surface suddenly became a petrol pump!<\/p>\n


\nDato’ Sri Najib Razak was presented with a Formula 1 helmet.<\/p>\n


\nMeanwhile, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor was presented with a bouquet of flowers. Hey why doesn’t she get a helmet?<\/p>\n


\nThey also donated USD 2.5 million to The Japanese Red Cross Society.<\/p>\n


\nAnd then, for the act we’d all been waiting for…<\/p>\n


\nThe Earth, Wind And Fire Experience featuring Al McKay<\/b>!<\/p>\n


\nThis is Devere Duckett, who sang for Stevie Wonder and Barry White!<\/p>\n


\nAll telephoto shots with the Sony Alpha 55 and Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA.<\/p>\n


\nAl McKay was an original member of the Earth, Wind And Fire funk band.<\/p>\n


\nSo was Michael Harris<\/b> (on the right).<\/p>\n


\nBen Dowling on keyboard.<\/p>\n


\nTim Woods, who sang with KC and JoJo.<\/p>\n


\nEd Wynne (from Doobie Brothers) on saxophone.<\/p>\n


\nLeft to right<\/b>: Claude Woods, Tim Owens and Devere Duckett.<\/p>\n


\nSome of these pictures also appeared in JonYKT<\/a>‘s blog – thanks dude for the media pass!<\/p>\n


\nFreddy Fluellen on bass (of Paul Jackson Jr., and The Emotions).<\/p>\n


\nAaron Haggerty on drums. They played all the classic hits!<\/p>\n


\nSkeletor<\/b> closed the show.<\/p>\n


\nAfter everyone was gone, I spotted a Samsung Galaxy Tab – a 7″ 3 megapixel camera!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
