INCUBUS LIVE IN MANILA: BEYOND SHIRTLESS BRANDON BOYD

March 11, 2008

Okay. There’s no doubt I’m still in recovering from the love mushiness for Brandon. 

Nevertheless, here’s my attempt for a constructive review of the concert.

The concert started on time. UP Dharma Down set the mood.  Although, I like their songs, I was thinking of other bands to be the front act—like maybe Urbandub??

Here are some of my comments: 

It was bitin–I felt like UDD had more stage time.

They did not play DIG and LOVE HURTS. WHy why why…

I like the sequence of the songs– a little of the old and new.

Most of  the songs that I liked were played. If I’m not mistaken here are the songs they played in the LIGHT GRENADES album: QUICKSAND, A KISS TO SEND US OFF, OIL AND WATER, LIGHT GRENADES and ANNA MOLLY [ Not in particular order]

They were a bit aloof? No–I don’t think this is the right term.They weren’t as receptive as I was expecting. They do encourage crowd participation, though. 

The crowd was still tamed. I was expecting RIOT–like all out, hell breaking loose, mosh pit. Well, for one thing, it was not an open field. That might have did the trick.  

Mike threw his pick, Jose– his drumsticks..I so envy those in the front row.What about Brandon’s shirt??

DJ CHRIS— WE’RE NOT WORTHY!! (10,000 X) 

Brandon’s bongo-playing is SPANKIN’!!!!

 

There you go…this is as far as I can get. I might go back into elaborating the shirtless brandon experience and the chronicles of the fangirl.  Enough said.
