Dashboard Confessional in Manila

I think most of us know Dashboard Confessional, it all started with Chris Carraba's solo project back in 2000-2002 while he is in Further Seems Forever. I have fond memories of their early releases and loved the songs. Not everyone likes Dashboard Confessional, love it or not, the band does it well.

Last May 27, 2010 the band came to Manila for a concert in Trinoma. They were also promoting their new album Alter the Ending. My friend and I came in early to get to the right spot so we can get a great view of the band. As soon as Dashboard Confessional got into the stage, hundreds of couple, teenagers and fans were screaming. In fact, there were all ages there. Dashboard's music is dynamic making the crowd full of energy. Whenever he strike for the song's opening, almost everyone knows exactly what song he was about to play. Most of the songs made the kids singalong the whole verses. Dashboard nailed it down to I think 16 songs? I'm not too sure about that. They started with "Don't Wait", ended the night with "Hands Down".


"Just played in Manila for the first time. I never imagined a show could be so awesome!", Chris Carraba said on his twitter after the concert.

I have to admit, It was a great night together with my old friends. One of the best shows I've ever been to.
