Jonathan Lee - Even If Youth Is Never Lasting World Tour LIVE [2017.03.15] [Blu-ray]Jonathan Lee - 「既然青春留不住-還是做個大叔好」演唱會巡迴影音紀錄 LIVE [2017.03.15] [Blu-ray]

“As a musician, I’m very happy that what I write can move you. Thank you for loving my songs, from my youthful days as ‘Little Lee’ all the way to the gray at my temples. I know I still have something more precious to share with you. I have no other way to express my thanks than to keep writing songs—for the people who care about me, and the people I care about.”

“Everyone has a Jonathan Lee song of their own.” From a legendary master of love songs in Chinese-language music to a mentor whose insight has been tempered by life, Jonathan Lee opened his “既然青春留不住” world tour at Taipei Arena on September 28, 2013. The tour spanned 35 shows, 21 months and 28 cities. From “給自己的歌” to “給每顆心的歌,” his unmistakable songs captivated listeners around the world. On April 4 and 5, 2015, he performed at Lincoln Center, a venue artists across the globe aspire to play. On June 22 that same year, he took the tour’s final show, “還是做個大叔好,” to London’s then 144-year-old Royal Albert Hall. Having crossed one hill, he reached another summit, sharing an unforgettable meeting of music and circumstance with the fans fortunate enough to be there.

After producing countless celebrated albums and experiencing life’s storms, splendor and quieter depths, Lee had in recent years stepped back from the stage. Returning to the starting point of making music, he devoted himself to acoustic guitars and created Lee Guitars, the first handcrafted guitar brand in the Chinese-speaking world. He returned to live performance to savor a particular feeling: through each song he sang, he could candidly share the years and stories he had lived through. Looking back, those memories still held their warmth. Lee also thanked his listeners: “As a musician, I’m very happy that what I write can move you. Thank you for loving my songs, from my youthful days as ‘Little Lee’ all the way to the gray at my temples. I know I still have something more precious to share with you.

I have no other way to express my thanks than to keep writing songs—for the people who care about me, and the people I care about.”

The commemorative Blu-ray edition of “既然青春留不住-還是做個大叔好!” presents audio and video recordings of three performances in Taipei, New York and London. With a selection of 29 songs that have become shared memories of an era, Lee’s voice leads listeners once again into the irresistible time tunnel of their younger days.
