Jolin Tsai concert chronology

Background

Prior to the tour, Tsai's only live concerts were limited to one-off concerts in Taiwan. Following the success of the Magic (2003) and Castle (2004) albums, the record label wanted to spread the success of the album by sending Tsai on a concert tour. However, the tour was restricted within Asia and United States. It did not visit Europe or Oceania. Tsai was quite nervous to perform in front of a huge non-Taiwanese audience, and singing with a live band for the first time.[2]

Concert synopsis

A giant chandelier was lowered onstage to reveal Tsai on the top. As she took off her heavy white outerwear, she performed "Prove It". This was followed by her hits "36 Tricks of Love", "It's Love", and "Disappearing Castle". After Tsai finished the first segment and disappeared backstage, a giant shell was lifted onstage then revealed Tsai in a mermaid-look costume. After Tsai disappeared backstage, the backdrops displayed a kitty turning into Tsai. The third segment started with Tsai in a red kitty-look corset to sing "Nice Cat". Then she performed her classic love songs from her previous albums released by Universal, including "Do You Still Love Me", "Can't Speak Clearly", "What Kind of Love", and "I Know You're Feeling Blue". The last segment began with Tsai in a swordsman-look costume to perform "The Spirit of Knight". The show ended with Tsai performing her dance hit "Magic".[3][4][5]
