I seriously want my voice back. Really. I want to sing again and hear my voice. hahaha! Lifehouse, you're the one to blame for my hoarse voice! hahaha!
Yes, I went to see Lifehouse's concert last Saturday (July 26) ALONE. lol And I dont regret going there! If you know me, you will think Lifehouse is out of my music preferences. But I LOVE them. I love them even more after their concert. They're phenomenal! It has been two days but I still cant get over the feeling and the energy!
I am truly decided when I bought my ticket to the show but then when the show was just minutes away, I was really thinking "will I enjoy this?". I mean, Im a fan but I have never been to a concert of this genre so I dont know what to expect. I also told myself I'll behave, content myself by just clapping my hands because, after all, Im alone.
But heck, on to the second song, I was already screaming and jumping up and down there (err, not on my personality, I know. haha)! Singing with them! They're so damn great! Jason's voice really sounds the same as his voice on CDs (you know how some singer's voice changes in live performances). May slight sabit sa First Time pero okay pa din! In fairness to me, I do know how to determine if the band is good live or not. haha
I also have cough that night and mild sore throat (dun pa nga ako uminom ng gamot sa Araneta hehe) and I thought they went away when the band started playing.
The crowd was amazing. I never thought that Lifehouse has a huge following here in Manila but man, Araneta was packed! Everyone was up on their feet the whole show. The energy was high!
Bryce even sang "Bridges" and he was really good too! Jason's hot! I love it when he did this "bending" thing rock stars do. And for that, I hate myself for accidentally deleting Jason's pic doing that stunt! It was a good shot pa naman.
The stage was simple. I couldnt even make out the graphics on the huge tarp they put up as the background. But the lights were amazing! All of them right on cue! I especially love the row of floodlights. hehe
Oh, Jason took a vid (or pic) of the crowd before they played Disarray. He said "wanna say hi to myspace.com?" or something like that. lol
Oh, here's the complete list of the songs they performed:
1. Make Me Over - Good way to start the show! Jason singing "Pull me in... Take me out... Make me over" immediately got the audience hyped up.
2. Spin - oh man! they rock!
3. Am I Ever Gonna Find Out
Quasimodo Interlude
4. Simon - its not my favorite but I was blown away when they sang this
5. Hanging By A Moment - I love this! mas tumaas energy level ng audience. I love what they did on the last part.
6. Blind - Jason said they havent performed this song for 3years now but decided to include in the setlist because he heard Filipinos love it. *faints*
7. Take Me Away
8. Someone Else's Song
9. From Where You Are - I found out that this is a new song
10. Bridges - Ooh, Bryce sang! I find that mic sharing Jason and Bryce did sexy. haha!
11. Better Luck Next Time
12. Whatever It Takes - Wahhhh!!!!! Need to say more?
13. You And Me - Oh! Heaven! Jason, you're the bomb!
14. First Time - I personally love their perf of this. Iba dating pag live!
encore:
This was the moment Jason took pics of the crowd.
15. Disarray - Hindi na talaga ako umupo. haha
16. Broken - *dies* They even extended the song!
The whole show gave new and different meaning to their songs. Hearing them live is priceless. Made the Lifehouse fan in me grow into something stronger.
It was kinda disappointing that they did not play Everything but Jason said he didn't know it was popular in the country (someone asked him during the meet and greet) but over-all, it was one hell of a show!!! Most of my faves are on the list. I wish they did more cause its kinda "bitin". Ganun kaganda ang concert that we wanted more! Best concert Ive ever been to, I must say!
Oh please Lifehouse! Come back! You owe us "Everything"! hahaha!
