闪亮的年代

「公共電視-羅大佑電視演唱特輯」邀請到熟悉羅大佑作品,也是「閃亮的年代」主持人馬世芳,與羅大佑進行作品對談。重溫了歌,瞭解了人,也將演唱會規格的專屬樂隊請到攝影棚內,並特地邀請到台北愛樂合唱團,跨刀演唱擔任羅大佑歌曲中的合唱部份,重現創作的理念與質感。

  羅大佑這個名字代表的就是一首唱不完的「歌」,從青春、成長、愛情、社會、時事、親情、省思、土地等議題,從出道前的第一首「歌」唱起,「戀曲1980」、「鹿港小鎮」、「光陰的故事」,到「戀曲1990」時期的台灣改變,人心沸騰,社會力全面釋放的頂點,去了紐約、到了香港,面對世界,視界也大開,「亞細亞的孤兒」、「故鄉」「愛人同志」、「皇后大道東」對民族,對土地,對文化的一種新的感情。
