The event concluded spectacularly and delightfully with every song from three legendary bands—THE ABBA, BEE GEES, and CARPENTERS—performed by Thailand’s top artists Radklao Amaradit, Ben Chalatit, Mam Patcharida, Mariam Grey, Tu Poptorn x The Begins, Piew The Voice, Joom Nareekrajang, No One Else, and Kan The Parkinson. The performance featured accompaniment by the MAHIDOL STARLIGHT ORCHESTRA from the College of Music, Mahidol University, blending dazzling lights, sound, and visuals on Sunday, 8 Nov 2023 at Paragon Hall.
The grand show opened with The Carpenters' songs, delivered by two quality vocalists Mam Patcharida and Joom Nareekrajang, performing both sweet love songs and lively tunes. Starting with an orchestral overture gradually leading into "We've Only Just Begun," followed by many hits such as "I Need to Be in Love," "Can't Smile Without You," "Yesterday Once More," "Mr. Postman," and "Super Star." The Carpenters segment closed with the classic love song "(They Long to Be) Close to You," warming the entire hall. The show then shifted energy to disco era hits, kicking off The Bee Gees' set with No One Else performing "You Should Be Dancing."
The performance continued with heartfelt love songs including "I Started a Joke," "To Love Somebody," and "More Than a Woman," followed by Tu Poptorn x The Begins performing hits like "Words" and "Massachusetts." Next was Kan The Parkinson with "Night Fever" and "Too Much Heaven."
The disco rhythm was revived once more by three artists taking turns singing "Stayin’ Alive," "Tragedy," and "If I Can't Have You." The segment concluded warmly with "How Deep Is Your Love," as all the artists reunited to sing this timeless love song amidst the audience's voices, before passing the stage to another awaited legend, ABBA. They brought the vibrant 70’s spirit to life in the finale with four singers: Radklao Amaradit, Ben Chalatit, Mariam Grey, and Piew The Voice.
The ABBA show opened with "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" performed by Ben and Piew, followed by "Waterloo" by Radklao and Mariam. All four then united for "Take a Chance on Me," accompanied by dancers and full production. This was followed by popular songs both tender and lively including "I Have a Dream," "SOS," "Mamma Mia," and "Lay All Your Love on Me." Especially notable was Mariam’s powerful and grand rendition of "The Winner Takes It All."
The highlight came when all the artists reunited to perform "Thank You For The Music," expressing gratitude to the three legendary bands, closing the concert with "Dancing Queen" amid music and a celebratory atmosphere throughout the hall.
It was another night where music connected people across generations. This concert was organized by Wongsawang Creation in collaboration with the Ramathibodi Foundation, supported by Singha drinking water.
