Dashboard Confessional Live in Manila 05.27.10
“Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember.”
It’s been exactly a year since Dashboard Confessional played here in Manila, Philippines. And truth be told, I’m still not over it and I am looking forward for them to come back again. The concert started off with “Don’t Wait” and got everyone in the crowd singing the whole song. Equipped with good looks, a piano, and a rotating line up of guitars, frontman Chris Carraba, together with John Lefler, Scott Schoenbeck and Mike Marsh served up an awesome set with songs in languages of heartbreaks and love stories. Dashboard Confessional played old and new songs, channeling through nostalgia and romanticism. Chris’ voice really does it especially he hits the high notes on songs like “Remember to Breathe” and “Screaming Infidelities”. John Lefler also showed craftsmanship on both the guitar and piano. Dashboard Confessional killed it! To no one's surprise, Chris would let the audience sing large parts of their songs. Crowd participation was impressing as every die-hard fan sang along at the top of their lungs to every song’s heart-on-sleeve lyric at the concert. It was amazing and loud!
Dashboard Confessional played a total of 17 songs for their Filipino fans last May 27, 2010.

DEFTONES live in Manila 02.12.11
Last February 12, 2011 Deftones" fans finally got to taste fulfillment as they watched Deftones perform live for the first time at the World trade Center here in Manila, Philippines. A plethora of people started lining up as early as 3pm eagerly anticipating this once in a lifetime experience.
Local rock acts Slapshock and Urbandub opened for Deftones and put on an energetic performance.
Energy was sky-rocketing as legendary frontman, Chino Moreno, graced the stage. With his killer dance moves and his potent aura, the crowd made love with him and their music that night, gender is insignificant. The concert was surreal, Stephen Carpenter’s crispy guitar riffs, Abe Cunningham’s drop-dead beats, Frank Delgado’s musique concrète samples, Sergio Vega’s complex basslines and lastly Chino Moreno’s extensive long lasting howls and wails. The crowd went crazy everytime Chino Moreno joins the crowd, all the way from VIP and into the silver section even! The climax came at “Passenger” when Chino stood on the VIP railings and joined the crowd together with an awesome, syncopated lighting display, timed to the music. I waited years to see Deftones only to experience them for a couple of hours. But it was all worth it. Art-metal quintet Deftones performed a total of 25 songs.
