The near sell-out crowd brought the house down as Walker took his audience on a journey through his so far short, yet successful, career.
He went from his earlier hits to his latest singles, snippets from a movie he starred in, Mt Zion, and a sneak preview into originals off his soon to be released album.
His four-piece band (consisting of bass, drums, electric guitar and keyboard) was amazing. So too were his slick back up singers - including Rotorua's own Turanga Merito (a fabulous performer in his own right).
Even these singers were subtly choreographed - adding that extra touch of professionalism to the show.
Probably the highlight was the dancing. Who knew Walker was such an amazing dancer? He had a crew of four young guys who were amazing and thrilled the screaming crowd whenever they came on stage.
The choreography was spot on - up there with the world's best. There wasn't a step out of place - and more importantly Walker was high energy remembering every move while not missing a note.
Bulletproof and the encore Take It Easy, when Patuwai was brought back on the stage, were definite highlights.
Stan Walker is a true superstar. The two hours and 45 minutes flew by. Look out world, this hard case Maori boy is going to take you by storm.
