Dewa 19 Featuring All Stars Successfully Invites Audience to Mass Karaoke of 90's Songs

This moment felt so intense when Eric Martin, the vocalist of Mr. Big, warmly greeted the audience. He even tried to interact using Indonesian, which was met with a loud response. "How are you, Jakarta?" greeted Eric Martin, who then followed up with, "Thank you."

The atmosphere became even more poignant as the stage shifted to acoustic mode. Gary Cherone, the vocalist of Extreme, invited the entire stadium to sing along to one of the most iconic songs from that era. "Do you know this song? Help me sing it," he said before the strumming of the guitar for "More Than Words" played, creating a beautiful mass choir.

Of course, this time machine would not be complete without the legendary songs from Dewa 19 themselves, which are essentially the soundtrack of youth for most of the audience present. Ari Lasso, as the keeper of memories, played an important role.

The peak of local nostalgia occurred when Ari Lasso asked the entire stadium to turn on their phone flashlights, creating a magical sea of light. "For this song, everyone must turn on their flashlight. For those who turn it on, may your fortune flow smoothly, may you marry quickly, and for those who are married, marry again," he joked, followed by the roaring song "Kangen".

The back-and-forth action between the audience and the musicians seemed to create the largest mass karaoke of the year. Songs like "To Be With You" by Mr. Big and "Roman Picisan" by Dewa 19 were sung together with great enthusiasm.

The climax of this nostalgia celebration occurred when all the musicians, both local and international, gathered on stage to sing the anthemic song "We Are The Champions" by Queen.

That night, GBK was no longer just a stadium, but a time capsule that successfully proved that great music from the 90s will never fade with time.
