I watched Owl City's concert last Sunday night with Tere and Gerard and we definitely had a blast! So before all my crazy fan girl sentences, I must start my story/review from the beginning.
So we are seated at the VIP ticket holders at Owl City's concert around 6:30pm.
Krissy and Erika were the front act. Reminded me so much of the duo M2M before. Performed Bad Romance, Up Up Down Down, another original song, and Runaway. After their set we waited for about 1 hour or less cus Adam Young's band was still preparing the stage.
Crowd went CRAZY when instruments were heard. Instruments. HAHA. So crowd went WILD when Adam Young started playing and singing. We were singing out loud that I think the people around us thinks we are three weirdos because we know all the songs from beginning to end. Also, we are waving and clapping our hands most of the time. I feel bad for the people behind us. Probably recorded our singing and our hands. Haha! Owl City performed Umbrella Beach first, then followed by The Bird and The Worm, The Tip of the Iceberg, On the Wing, Air Traffic, Fireflies, The technicolor Phase, The Saltwater Room, Dental Care, Hot Air Balloon (my first time to hear the song. and I love it!), Cave In, and Vanilla Twilight as the encore song. As they leave the stage after their great setlist.. People were screaming "WE WANT MORE!" until they go back to the stage and performed one last song called "Hello Seattle".

And as expected, I was thinking about Lights while in the concert. That'd be a "two birds in one shot". But I just wore my Lights shirt instead. :)
I was just very disappointed with the distance of every ticket range. I was expecting that we are so close to the stage since we bought the VIPs worth less 4,000 pesos. But what happened was, in the covered part, it was just the VVIPs and we were super far from the stage. Like maybe for some people, its better to watch on the LCD.
Over all, it was definitely a great night! It was my first time to attend an electro pop concert. I also realized that I never watched any of his concert footages on YouTube. So everything I witnessed made me feel awe. This concert made me admire Adam Young so much more that everytime he moves to the beat, it was as if an air or soul of music comes out from his body. It was an unexplainable energy really. The way he raises his hands, way he walks around the stage, the way he plays the instruments, the way he holds the microphone. So much passion and soul! Slightly distracting lang the bigote. Hehehe :)
