Philippines 2011

Instead of the Jubilate/Libera intro they could do a sat link-up with BEP and sing harmony backup for 'let's get it started'? Yes/No?

HAHAHA That would be epic! Excited to hear the non-Christmas songs from Libera! Hoping for Ave Maria, by Stefan maybe? Wishful thinking..

to be quite honest, if libera three sixty is trying to boost ticket sales, they should be announcing josh or liam first (if they're coming) because they've got huge fanbases over here. a lot of people, teenage girls in particular, would probably have bought tickets just for the meet and greet after the concert.not saying tjis isright or anything, but it's one way to get the place sold out faster. now, personally i think those who watch should go because of the music, but to each his own.

Maybe it's almost sold out. There are plenty sponsors, thats a very good sign. And if it's not sold out yet, there should be a last minute surge in ticket sales once they arrive and do promotions. There should be a ticket booth during the meet and greet. People do have a tendency to do things in the last minute. If it doesn't sell out this time, it's still comforting to know that there exist real hardcore Libera fans. Despite the date, price, having other concert choices, they still chose to attend this xmas concert in october.

I remember, Kavana mentioned he likes the Black Eyed Peas. So if he's missing on the stage during their concert, he must've snuck out and went to the BEP concert. They better keep an eye on him

On the non x-mas songs, if i hear the new songs Eternal Light (with Josh's solo) and Song of Life, i'd be very happy already. If Ben and Ralph would do Far Away too, that would really be a big bonus treat.

I do not think they will sing " Far Away" as it's not classed as a libera classic . Also I am wondering how it will work and if it will kinda be split into two . I do not think they will have had time to nail a whole new concert routine within 6 weeks so surely some of the u.s set list will appear .

Classic libera songs

Libera
Salva me
Sanctus
Stay with me
Exslulate

Then you I am guessing you will have Orinoco added due to location of concert and banyan ko

Don't let the Japanese know that, they would probably rank it No1 classic, especially the original version by Michael H. It's been a few years now and more recent songs do leapfrog over older classics. However if you conducted a poll of the most popular libera songs, I'm fairly certain 'Far Away' would come out in the top 3. Although I agree it's a very tricky song to sing live in concert and your always comparing it to the CD version by Michael H.

To be fair in today's world of Instant messaging and social networking, information travels pretty quickly. After reading that SM City North ESDA is the largest mall in the Phillippines and 3rd largest in the world, it easy to conclude that it's located in a large populated catchment area, so attracting last minute interest and pulling a crowd in on a lazy Sunday afternoon shouldn't be too much of a problem. I only hope Libera can fly out a day early maybe to get some rest instead of heading straight from the airport.

There should be a ticket booth during the meet and greet.

Agreed, it would be a good idea to sell tickets at their first M&G there, maybe they will do that.

Exsultate is not, can not, and never will be, a Libera classic

[Benj]

The edited tv ad said xmas & best of Libera so that might necessarily mean classic songs. It would be nice though if they sing Ave Maria or Mysterium since they haven't performed those in Phl yet.

I used to hang out at SM North but i didn't think it's as big as Megamall or Mall of Asia (whose concert grounds the BEP would perform). But i can be wrong since i never measured them. Bigger or not than those other SM malls, it's still definitely full specially on a Sunday so they should put up a booth there.

My friends and i went to Libera's first ever m&g at the Podium mall 2 years ago, not really for there for the signing but so we can buy tickets there. To our horror there was no ticket booth & everyone said it's sold out. I asked Sec. De Ocampo and he advised me to check a ticketworld outlet. At an outlet at the Galleria mall nearby, i found out lucky us- there were still 6 empty seats left.

Ooh, just saw this on Libera 360's FB:

LIBERA's schedule on their PHILIPPINE CHRISTMAS CONCERT of the YEAR:
OCTOBER 23 (SUNDAY) - ASAP ROCKS
OCTOBER 23 (SUNDAY) - MEET & GREET at THE BLOCK SM NORTH EDSA
OCTOBER 25 (TUESDAY) - CHRISTMAS CONCERT at PICC PLENARY HALL
OCTOBER 27 (THURSDAY) - MEET & GREET at SM CEBU
OCTOBER 28 (FRIDAY) - CHRISTMAS CONCERT at WATERFRONT CEBU

ASAP Rocks is a popular noontime tv show. Good publicity, I'd say, although one can easily get lost amid all the song and dance numbers in that show.

SM Mall of Asia was the biggest mall in the Philippines for a while until SM North expanded. Mall of Asia is probably better designed, though.

In other news PolyEast record has posted that Libera will be guesting at a Sunday noon variety show "ASAP Rocks" on ABS-CBN on October 23, 2011. According to the TV sked, "ASAP Rocks" starts at 12:15pm every Sunday.

[JimmyRiddle]

Thanks for the news. For those outside the Philippines, 'ASAP Rocks' can be found on TFC (The Filipino Channel) broadcast via ABS-CBN Global network. In the UK for example it airs at 11am http://www.abs-cbnglobal.com/Default.aspx?TabId=830" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; which will according to World Time Clock Map be approx 7hrs after the live broadcast. So it could very well be on YouTube by then. You can get The Filipino Channel with subscription through Satelite, Cable and On Demand.

I was not aware " Far Away " had such a following in Japan

The Michael H version is stunning but it's never been matched since . And has been dropped recently as it had IMO lost its spark.

Yorkie I put Exslulate in there as if you notice that it seems to be the most played song sung by libera from this album . When they seem to do a one of song it's that that's sung.

No new names revealed ? , at this rate they will be out there before the full list is out.

I have lamented long and often about the lack of discernment shown by some of my fellow Libera fans dani
