Bloc Party Live in Manila 2013

First off, I'd like to thank:

Warner Music Philippines for making Bloc Party Live in Manila happen!

juice.ph for giving me free Gold tickets! (I won their ticket giveaway so..)

My uncle for slapping Bloc Party into my system.

AND of course to Bloc party!! - For existing because you guys are so awesome!

When I got home from the concert, first thing I did was play Helicopter on Guitar Hero. Wrong decision ever, I just got frustrated because I still can't finish the song in hard level. Speaking of Helicopter, they played it last! And I swear the crowd went so wild, maybe because they can also feel it's going to be the last song, and also because the song is just so damn epic. Everyone was singing along and was dancing so crazy. Kele (vocalist) didn't even sing the first part, he let the crowd take over north to south! Empty! Running on! Bravado! As if to say, as if to say!

Oops sorry, can't help myself singing there.

When they played my favorite song, this Modern Love, all hands are in the air. I can see some people from the VIP sections air-drumming. It was very contagious because I found myself air-drumming at the end of the song too. I actually can't sing because I just want to listen, sway with the crowd, and dramatically feel the amazing song.  

They went backstage twice, and the crowd was cheering for them to come back! And for the start of Round 2, as Kele said, So Here We Are echoed World Trade Center. The lights were cool too! It's playing with our eyes and dancing with our spirits. It was all blue and thin. It's like God is talking to me, but no, it's not God who I hear. It's Kele's relaxing cold voice. I can even hear it now, and that's not weird at all. Not really.

The whole aura of the concert is still electrifying me. And there's that moment when I think what if I didn't win those tickets, I'd probably be singing in the bathroom while eating hot dog sandwich. And the present snapped out of me, and then bam! They're playing Day Four. I literally screamed at my sister's face and she screamed at mine too. It's in the trees, it's in the leaves! Excuse me for singing again. I was so stoked because they played most of the songs from their latest album Four.

I love it when Kele had this big smile on his face when the crowd is singing along. Gordon and Russ were encouraging the people to clap. Matt Tong (drummer) is so friggin hot by the way! He was only wearing maong shorts or something. And oh his glasses of course. Shorts and glasses-- a very fashionable Matt on stage. No shirts, just shorts. And eye glasses. A very Filipino outfit I must say. I think he's really feeling hot because of our weather. Poor Matt. Or he just wants to show off his body. Either way, I'm glad he did that!

Did I mention the front act already? Up Dharma Down (UDD). Wow. Perfect.  Awesome. It is my first time to see them live and I got hooked right away. They kind of warmed up the whole perfawesome (perfect + awesome) concert by playing their electric vibes music. My friends and I were really excited they will perform. Who would miss Up Dharma Down + Bloc Party right? Sad to say many did. If you're one of them, come here and I will comfort you with my sarcasm.

After UDD performed, my aunt's camera died. So long story short, I don't have pictures. I was very pissed I'd like to bury it.  Kidding aside, I won't enumerate the songs they performed because I don't trust myself right now. I still can't believe I saw them live! I'm still trying to comprehend what really happened. My head is floating right now.

As I was saying, I was so pissed off at Guitar Hero and what the hell was I was thinking, I just saw Bloc Party live!! So I ditched it and went back to sleep, peacefully. Peacefully = wild electric guitar + booming drum play.

Thank you again juice.ph for this grand opportunity!
