A bit late, wasn't able to use the internet after the concert.
But boy the concert gave me an out of body experience for reals!
It's really amazing to hear Libera live... and this time I hear them with actual live instruments, it really gives the quality of the songs a major kick!
I won't blabber on my impressions witch each song because most people have already posted (and are much better in that department than I) but boy
Song of Life,
Eternal Light and
Sing the Story just blew me away, I'm on the verge of tears and was stopping myself for shouting for how awesome it was for me.
Stay for me sort of surprised me because I thought with Daniel's age he cannot sing it, but even if changes are starting to sound in his voice I was glad on how it ended up. (p.s. so bias with him because I found him really nice in the M&G and then the "appreciation" with his Panis Angelicus version... blah blah fandom
)
Ave Verum and
Still, Still, Still are recent discoveries for me. And some of the Christmas Album songs are a delight to hear. I just didn't want it to end!
Goodness, if I had the monehs, I would've flown to the Cebu concert as well.
P.S. To the people who were able to line up for the M&G/signing part of the evening, did they allow people who only have the concert booklet (who by the way, I'm a bit miffed or it being almost 50% advertisements...) to go ahead with the M&G and for the boys to sign the paraphernalia? I was sort of anguished to the fact that I could've just bought a CD and got it signed than getting the booklet. :/ I would've wanted to at least give my personal thanks for
Stefan and Ralph (for their amazing solo bits),
Daniel (for Stay with me),
Josh and Liam (for a probable last time I see them) and the other boys who got solo parts....

I got goosebumps everytime they sang the "para bang hulog na ng langit" line.
When that 2nd encore started to show itself, I was like "Oh! Don't tell me they're gonna do a new Filipino song!?" and was blown away by their version. Was a bit side-eyeing those people who are going judgmental on the pronuciation though
... I mean really, 2 months to prepare for this concert and to memorize that song, I really hate this mentality of us Filipinos at times, UGH. Can't we just appreciate the thought?!
Love, LOVE, LOVEEEE their version though!
And I was sort of glad coz I haven't bought the Christmas Album and this might just see it's way to a repackage of sorts.
