The Great eyes of Jared Letto, The Great performance of 30 Second To Mars. That was a little late change scheduled of our leaving from DKJ - TIM, the place that I'm working for The Jakarta Biennale 2011, when my kids were coming over and going to Ancol with me by my car. That was a planned that we should leaving TIM area at 5.00 pm. But since they just made it at 7.00, I quite rather anxious to think how disaster the Jakarta's road traffic is. Especially when thousands people were coming to the one meeting point just like what we are one of them. I have my self imaginary of facing difficulties to park our car and getting in to Ancol Segarra Complex. And that what happened when we just reached Ancol at 8.30 pm and park our car so far away frm the where music festival held in. but, no problem, our spirit is still alive, and there are buses will bring us to the final destination. ( In fact, I ve just had 2 hours to sleep everyday and my stamina were not in the high level because of so much tiring but that didnt matter at all for 30 Second to Mars!!!). We know that Band will perform 1,5 hours late from the planned schedule because one of the personnel was experiencing the late schedule of his arrival as well, so there were plenty of time to wait the performing by watching around another band's performing including
The Blood Red Shoes, British Alternative rock band also the local bands of
Netral and
Naif. And they are great too, tough! Again, a different version of late experienced by us. Was Shika, the one who eager to watch The NAIF performance that make us late to reach the front line of stage where Jared will sing his songs to us. Cant blame her, we were so hipnotized by David, The Vocalist of NAIF who is funny and fresh singing their 70's melody of songs. No wonder we also forget to leave the Doom to catch the time and find our place within almost 8000 audiences who already stand waiting for the appearance of 30 Second of Mars. We finally have our place to stand and not so far away from the catwalk stage event though we should see it in the right left side perspective way. An there he was, exactly at 1.30pm, with the Victorian's long coat costume bring his guitar, he was stepping forward and start his music. The audience got crazy and illuminated with the songs that so familiar to hear by. Altough, I still have a little sense to find out that the stage was seem too big and too high for their three skinny personnel and minimum band equipment, Jared was hardly tried to fulfill it in by stepping around the right and the left side of the stage. There were not many points to be around at the stage except the giant screen in the middle that walled and become a back drop. Multimedia that shows more of their videos and quotes also strobo lighting were dominated the artistic of their performance. The ambience was reflecting of no colorful since the colors of lights only white, silver and yellow. And that mixed to bring more the mysteriously of them. Finally Jared has realized how he was "drown in depth" of the big stage with minimal lights. He moved his central point of standing to the catwalk stage instead of in the middle of the huge stage anymore. I think he finally knows that the audience were no clearly seeing him because of the minimalist concept of lighting. And Here we go, 30 Second To Mars were hypnotized us to do whatever he asked us to do. In one and half hour, He brought the alternative rock music that really compatible with his handsome and his incredible live music performance. Finally, There is only thing that I and my Shika ask to you Jared, " Will you stay a night at our home tonight? Maybe you will be singing all night long only for us?"
