Michael Learns to Rock Performed Their Greatest Hits in Kuala Lumpur

A Night to Remember

MLTR’s melodies are popular due to its heartfelt lyrics that stay with fans in their different phases of life. The soft rock and pop group MLTR, founded in 1988, delighted 5,092 people with its Take Us To The Hearts concert last week, which was organised by MMIC Entertainment Group at the Arena of Stars in Resorts World Genting.

MLTR stole the audience’s hearts as the band’s lead singer Jascha Richter captivated the crowd from beginning to end with his voice. Richter, 61, was also on the keyboard, accompanied by band member Mikkel Lentz, 55, who played the guitar. Meanwhile, 55-year-old Kare Wanscher played the drums during the concert.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

The concert began with the lively opening number Someday. The band followed it up with the 1993 single Sleeping Child from Colours, transporting the audience back in time.

Having recorded nine albums and sold 11 million copies, particularly in Scandinavia and Asia, the Danish band performed its new single A Life to Remember, which was released last month. According to Richter, the song is about growing older and as he began to approach the ages of 40, 50 and 60, he reflected on memorable moments the band has shared.

Acoustic Set and Intimate Moments

After that, the group performed an acoustic set and Richter, who had been on the keyboard, played the piano for this segment. Richter’s gentle voice filled the air as he sang I’m Gonna Be Around. His live rendition beats the studio recorded version.

Richter then approached the upper floor during Nothing to Lose to sing closer to the crowd. The move surprised the fans as they were able to take pictures and shake his hands. One woman was fortunate enough to give him a hug on the way back. While Richter’s voice and Lentz’s guitar skills captivated the audience, Wanscher showcased his musical prowess by playing several instruments.

Romantic Ballads and Enthusiastic Crowd

Later in the concert, Richter sang some romantic ballads, such as the ever-popular 25 minutes, The Actor, Love Will Never Die and Breaking My Heart. Richter’s soulful vocals prompted the seated listeners to dance and sing along as they were familiar with the chorus.

Lentz, who took note of the fans’ enthusiasm and excitement, then complimented the crowd and made a light-hearted remark about their potential as singers.

A Rocking Ending

The band then came back on stage with Paint My Love (released in 1996) that took the crowd through a melodic, nostalgic moment. Richter’s voice was flawless and beautiful, especially during the chorus, which had the crowd chanting excitedly from the beginning to end.

The final set of MLTR’s tour began with Take Me To Your Heart. MLTR’s popular song That’s Why (You Go Away) won our hearts with a romantic performance that segued into a momentous closing with Lentz’s guitar riff.

Conclusion

The band, which started with four members but is now left with three members after Soren Madsen left in 2000 to pursue a solo career, delivered an amazing and heartwarming show. The music in the background was accentuated with colourful visuals on screen that complemented the songs. Lyrics for famous songs were also featured.
