I absolutely loved last night's show. Foster The People had their one-night-only show in Manila for the first time. It was held in the Araneta Coliseum after less than a month that it was announced. Given that the time of announcement was late, I did not expect a lot of people to go especially when I was still able to buy a ticket only the day before. True enough, there were a lot of empty seats even on the most expensive section but that did not stop anyone from having a blast on the show. I got the cheapest tickets but still had a good view and see the band properly, even though some people in front of me almost blocked my view had I not been able to move around in my row.
The show started with a local electronic/pop band called Techy Romantics opening the show. Their set lasted around 30 minutes but I was a bit sleepy so I did not really care about them. There was the usual break after their set and it was past 9pm when FTP finally came out to start the show. The crowd was amazing as they sang and danced along to every song. Since the band only had one album, the show wasn't too long. But this is the first artist I've watched that performed all the songs in one album. With their hits like Helena Beat and Don't Stop and so much more getting the crowd pumped up, I am truly amazed at the energy level of the band and a great showmanship from the band. The stage design was great too.
There;s only one thing I regret and that is not seeing Sophia Bush! She is apparently dating Mark Foster and she came along with the band and was watching the show with the crowd! I only found out about it on Twitter after the show and also found out she was seen shopping in Shangri-la mall! It would have been a dream come true to meet one of my favorite actresses that I grew up with.
I don't really have any concerts to look forward to this year. There's The Fray but I'm not sure if I can go.
