Let’s make this place feel like our own…Tonight, we’re gonna paint the town green.
Last April 17, Irish pop rock band, The Script performed to thousand of Filipino fans at the recently concluded No Sound Without Silence Tour in Manila. It was held at Mall of Asia Arena.
American singer Colton Avery and homegrown band, Silent Sanctuary was the front acts for the concert. Though it's their third time to swoon their fans here in the country, I was captivated on how they interact with the crowd. The show started when they entered the Arena, they sang "Paint the Town Green."
They even performed on the B-stage, and sang "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" and "Never Seen Anything Quite Like You." Stunned over the band's frontman Danny O' Donoghue surprised the people in the lowerbox (envied because I stood at the other side of the lowerbox section), and sang "You Won't Feel a Thing."
One of the highlights of the show is when O'Donoghue asked us to play a bizarre game. The twist: to call the former boyfriend/girlfriend of someone in the crowd and hand over the mobile phone to him. Suddenly, someone answered the call, and Danny said: "Hey, this is Danny from The Script!".
