We were in for a double treat last night, as Vertical Horizon and Ed Kowalczyk, the lead singer of Live, did a back to back show at the Araneta Coliseum. This was the second time Vertical Horizon did a show here. They were here in 2007 and yeah, we were there! This time, they came back to promote their latest album, Burning the Days. They did several songs from that album, including their opening song, Save Me From Myself, which was their lead single. They also did All Is Said and Done. My personal favorite from that album though, is The Lucky One which they also performed.Well, the fans in the audience that night cheered most when they played their AC (Adult Contemporary) hits like You're A God, Best I Ever Had and Everything You Want. They did We Are as their encore. The audience response was very warm not only because of the solid set played by the band but also because the lead singer, Matt Scannell was very simpatico, and he even spoke several phrases in Tagalog! He did make a mistake when he said he just ate chicken 'adobe' which was of course, adobo! But he said 'Magandang gabi' and "Salamat' perfectly fine! It was actually great for him to try to say those phrases. Many foreign singers don't even bother, so really, plus points for the band!I love his voice too!! That's the type of singing voice I want. Not particularly offensive and just crystal clear with a high pitch! Well, with their reception tonight, I won't be surprised if they come back for the third time! I'm sure they will be welcomed back with open arms by their local fans, including moi!
