We did.... EDSA northbound was jampacked because of the Megamall Sale and LP Rally at the EDSA Shrine.... Worse, all parking lots are full at the Araneta Center so it took us a while to find a spot. Arrived at the concert 9PM, an hour late. Travel time was 3 hours for about 20Km distance from our place....
It was good that there was a front act, so we missed only the first 3 songs (sadly, with Everybody Wants To Rule The World)....
Araneta Coliseum was filled to the brim.... Everybody was singing,- although I particularly didn't like the lull in the middle of their performance as they were singing some 'not-so-popular' songs.... Everybody was clamoring for a second encore, but they did not oblige... Change wasn't sung, right?
A night to remember, indeed.....

May 4th, 2010 02:50 PM #5Alright bro... We stayed on after the concert as a lot of vehicles are on their way out of the area.... We left at 11:45PM+, and home a little past midnight.... (Oh wow!- and we endured 3 hours of travel time,- same distance - going to Araneta Center)....

May 4th, 2010 04:22 PM #6Yeah, i only knew till the Seeds of Love album
We arrived just in time 8:45pm, tapos na pinoy bands (ilan ba sila?)and so as the parking haha! Had to park within the street as no pay parking has an available slots. Luckily followed a white Nissan Patrol and thanks to Araneta securities and QC policemen who allowed and even assisted us to park on the street. Baka akala bigtime kami :bwahaha:
Sobrang puno ang Araneta Center!
Inside, finally got the chance to see Tears for Fears perform and take some shots after 25 years of waiting

May 4th, 2010 11:51 PM #7Oh hell yeah! Ang saya! Everyone was singing most of the group's hits. Tumahimik lang when some of the newer material was played. This was one amazing experience. Bad trip nga lang yung traffic because of that LP rally. And get this, Korina was greeted with a chorus of boos when she was caught by cameras flashing the "Laban" sign. Ayan kasi eh.
Other than that, the concert was a blast. Mahal nga tickets pero sulit.

May 5th, 2010 01:07 PM #8Yes, it is on http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/255985...-fears-concert.... Somehow, the abscbn website is too slow....Fans ‘boo’ Korina Sanchez at Tears for Fears concert
By ROWENA JOY A. SANCHEZ
May 4, 2010, 5:34pm
Oops, someone got booed at the Tears for Fears concert at the Araneta Coliseum last May 2, but it’s definitely not the band.
Korina Sanchez, wife of vice-presidential bet Mar Roxas, became the object of derision of the audience when she was seen on the huge LCD screen flashing the “laban” sign (her husband’s party’s signature gesture) during the performance break of the popular 80’s rock band.
Sportscaster TJ Manotoc tweeted on the same night that the award-winning broadcast journalist, donned in a blue T-shirt (Roxas’ campaign color), got booed not once but twice by the audience.
Controversial media personality Mo Twister also blogged about the incident, saying it was “absolutely” right for the crowd to have done so.
“Sweet jezus lady, it's a concert meant to entertain the thousands of Filipinos watching. Maybe it's even an escape from all the political talk engrossing our country at the present time. How about you put that L inside your designer bag for just a few hours.
“I mean, how narcissistic do you have to be to see yourself on the big screen and think to yourself, I should pimp the ‘L’ baby cuz this could mean more votes on Monday?” he wrote on May 3.
Meanwhile, host and eventologist Tim Yap, who also attended the sold-out show, believes that “everyone deserves respect.”
“She also just wanted to enjoy the night—I'm sure it was a knee-jerk reaction for both parties,” he tweeted on Monday as well.
Apart from the concert itself, fans haven’t gotten over the seemingly politically colored incident, purging their thoughts over on blog sites as well as on popular social networking sites.
One netizen said, “Korina should not have ‘Marred’ the Tears For Fears experience with politics.”
Another Twitter user who darted the “Rated K” host was inspired by “Sowing The Seeds of Love,” saying, “’Yung line ng TFF na ‘Politician Granny with your high ideals, have you no idea how the majority feels?’ is dedicated to Korina. :D”
Another user bellowed, “Ayaw ng mga tao ng bagong Imelda sa 2016,” and “People went to tff to have fun. they didn't want to be politicized. L sign was a wrong move for korina!”
On Facebook, one fan posted, “Wrong crowd po Ate Korina, napahiya ka tuloy. Mga thinking class ang nanood ng Tears for Fears, sorry ka.”
Another one said, “Nice to see that Korina was booed in ‘her’ own coliseum. Hehehe.” (The Roxas clan owns the Araneta Coliseum).
The day before TFF’s concert, Korina and her 52-year-old husband also reportedly “sneaked in” at Kelly Clarkson’s show.
I didn't get to catch this as we arrived late... However, this was relayed to me later that night by my sister who rode with us going to the concert, but opted to transfer to the MRT when we were caught in a jam at the EDSA....

Yup, and my wife was telling me that the reason for the vehicle-jampacked Araneta Center were the volume of fans of the Tears For Fears group. They can now afford to buy a vehicle....
I do not remember now how I smiled to her (sweetly or insolently aka smirk)..... :bwahaha:

i knew about the LP rally so avoided it by passing through san juan from makati .. i knew parking was going to be a bitch so we arrived early and lucked out sa parking sa shopwise .. best of all .. we got free tickets! ..

It was good that I lined-up our vehicle at the GateWay basement parking (actually out of desperation as I was driving aimlessly already, seeing the hordes of vehicles parked on the road), and the security guards were courteous not to shoo us away....Within the next couple of minutes we were given the opportunity and I took the first parking slot I chanced upon... (Normally, I will be choosy in identifying a parking slot)....
It was already 9PM, so we practically ran to the Araneta Coliseum... And, lo and behold,- it was jampacked!....
(Actually, it is a friend at the THP (Team Hyundai Philippines), and a fellow owner of the Grand Starex, who drove Kelly Clarkson around MM and in to her concert last May1... Sa ringside pa siya nakaupo..... Ayos!)....

May 6th, 2010 04:53 PM #13Hindi siguro akalain ng concert promoter na dadagsain yung TFF gig. The perfect venue should be the MOA grounds, so that everybody would be accomodated.

May 10th, 2010 11:34 AM #14Yup,- that could have been a better and a more profitable venue for the organizers. Also, people from SouthMM, like us, could have been spared from the horrendous EDSA (northbound only) traffic that night. Also, parking should have not been an issue at the MoA grounds... (I think another factor for the jampacked concert was that the following day,- 3rd May was declared a non-working holiday on the last minute....) Originally Posted by chua_riwap

August 6th, 2012 09:03 PM #19I guess Per Sorensen will be around for a week until the TFF concerts in Manila and Cebu. He had a couple of shows this weekend. Too bad he might not get to go around due to the bad weather.
