    Oh hell yeah! The concert was a blast, and naging Karaoke na naman yung Araneta. Heh heh. TFF finally played "Advice" and of course Per Sorensen opened up the show with FLL's big hits such as The Distance Between us etc, and closed it out with "Everytime I See You"

    Was able to catch their last playing date in Smart Araneta last night. Yes, it was truly a blast. What really inspired, or pushed me even, was watching the youtube videos of their first time playing here. You could really feel the energy of the crowd even from just the videos. You can watch some here: Multiply: Tears for Fears Live in Manila. There are actually quite a lot but his copies are some of the better ones. Stereo even.

    Still having a hangover of the concert from last night, I was browsing around for news and feedback for their latest gig here, and chanced upon an interview of Curt Smith. Well, pleasant surprise that they found their first time here to be an amazing experience for them:

    SCLV: What is your favorite city/country to visit/perform?

    CS: In 2010 we played Manila for the first time in something like 25 years. The audience’s response was extraordinary and quite moving. Try to imagine Araneta Coliseum – where the historic “Thrilla in Manila” bout was held – filled with thousands of people singing along to the entire show at the top of their lungs. There are videos on YouTube. It’s a good thing we use in-ear monitors or we literally wouldn’t have been able to hear what we were playing. It was quite an experience.

    For last night, they were as pleasantly surprised that it was the 2nd night already, but it was as full, if not more than, their first night. Akala ko nga di na gaano mapupuno kasi at around 5:30pm kokonti pa lang kami sa pila ng lower and upper box section. In fairness, at about 7pm the gen. ad and upper box section were almost filled already. A little after 8pm naman, lower box and patron seats also got filled up already.
