Reminiscing the Maroon 5 Concert (2011)

Last night, I was browsing the files in my hard drive when I stumbled upon the photos of the Maroon 5 concert that I attended last May 2011. I went with two friends of mine, Kid and Lui, who are both fans of the band (though Kid is the bigger fan).

It was Maroon 5's second time to perform in Manila. The first was in 2008. Kid was not able to go to the first concert because she was still a student then. So when she learned that the band was going to play again, she was beyond excited! She made sure that she won't miss the chance to see them play. Kid invited Lui and me to go with her. Since she wanted some company, she gave Lui and me free tickets to the show! ☺ Even though I'm not as big as a fan as Kid, I like some of Maroon 5's songs. Plus, why would I pass up on a free ticket right? ☺

When we got to the venue, there were already plenty of people lined up outside. We were lucky that we were to be seated in the "Reserved Seating" section of the hall and didn't have to wait in line to enter. Upon entering the hall, there were already plenty of people inside. The stage was already set. We were also able to spot a few local celebrities.

 

Even before the band showed up on stage, people were already cheering. At some point, a few people screamed saying that the members of the band were entering the hall from the back. A few moments passed, the lights were turned off and the band appeared.

(Finally, the photos! All pictures were taken by our trio's official photographer: Kid ☺)

Adam Levine

James Valentine

Jesse Carmichael

Mickey Madden

Matt Flynn

Kid even took a photo of Adam drinking

The band sang songs from their Hands All Over album like Misery, Stutter, Never Gonna Leave This Bed, Hands All Over, and Give A Little More. They also performed songs from their previous albums such as This Love, Makes Me Wonder, She Will Be Loved, The Sun, Wake Up Call, and Sunday Morning. Adam even asked the crowd to sing a few lines of She Will Be Loved.

It truly was a fun night! It was my first time to see the band perform on a stage, let alone see them live. The energy of the band was so great! They were amazing! Matt Flynn was superb with his drum solos! The band's front man, Adam Levine, was just fun to watch! From his guitar solos to his little dancing, he was really entertaining. He and James Valentine also did guitar duels/duets.

The concert ended with Adam thanking their fans for going to the concert and Matt giving away his drum sticks! I know how much Kid wished that she had gotten any one of the sticks. Despite not getting any, I knew she had a great time. My proof: she can't stop talking about it days after that memorable night!

Fun fact:
It was Matt's birthday that night. ☺
