B2B2B Concert

Watched the Back2Back2Back (B2B2B) Concert of Side A, MYMP and FreeStyle last Dec 1 in Araneta Coliseum ... We got the ticket a month in advance to ensure that we would have good seats for the concert ...

We were even able to watch the rehearsals in Bagaberde (Roxas Blvd) .... Rehearsal was really crazy ... Didn't realize how difficult it was to put a production number for 3 bands ... each one has its own style, own voice ... So for each song that they all had to sing together, they really had to sweat it hard ... Lito Fugoso (Side A's manager) even remarked "will there be a concert on Monday?!" ... hahaha ... and it was really a valid comment since their production numbers are still a mess 3 days before the concert ...

Dec 1 --- the big day! .... we arrived in Araneta Center at 6:30pm ... concert starts at 8:00pm ... enough time to have dinner ...

Concert opened with a production number from the 3 bands ... after which, each band had their turn to perform solo ... first was MYMP --- couldn't relate to some of their songs (must be generation gap! hehe) ... second was FreeStyle --- love it when the boys sing but get turned off if it's Jinky (her voice rag my nerves, it seems she's always shouting and it hurts my eardrums) ... third was of course, Side A!!!! .... as usual, they were able to make the crowd stand up to dance in their "Tuloy Pa Rin" Song ... after that, it sort of went downhill because MYMP performed again which sobered the audience ... when it was time for the disco music, the 3 bands had a difficult time making the audience dance ... they should just have continued to the dance music after "Tuloy Pa Rin" since the crowd were already up ...

All in all, the concert was just ok ... I guess I was just used to Side A concerts where people were mostly standing up the whole time jamming with the band ... It would have been better if was purely a Side A concert ... That's why we'll just catch their gig in 19East on the 23rd of December :)
