Matthew Madine? That wasn't really a question...

Was there a signing after the concert?

EDIT: Does he look like a Mini-Josh?

So pretty much there were no meet and greets, right? I am sorry to hear that the concert had some inconsistencies.

Nope i am afraid no meet and greet. Jus came out and they posed on stage so you could take photos. Did not see what mini josh looked like as too many on stage.

Oh also forgot to add that we all qued from about 2pm. They opened doors about 7:30pm and thry had screwed over fans who had spent hours queing. They had let parents, family and friends fill first 6 rows. Few seats hear and there but basically all full. It was a fan event so why they did this is beyond me. We paid and qued and yet got fcked over. A lot of fans found it a pretty disgusting trick as we had no clue till we got inside so hours wasted queing when we had no chance of first few rows.

Interesting thoughts, dani. Thanks for sharing them. I've not heard of Libera pre-recording their voices and playing them back during a live concert. At least not to the appreciable degree were you determine that they are actually miming? How bad was this?

They normally do a great sanctus. I've heard a live sanctus from them before and it was harmony & note perfect. Maybe they did reach a plateau a few years ago, and I suppose with 37 (including lots more newbies) it might take some time to settle them into a 'libera' standard routine.

You mentioned that Stefan and Ralph were on form tonight, and they've only been on the Libera concert books for the past year or so. So maybe in time, they will be able to iron out any teething problems. I suspect there were some nerves showing from the newbies tonight.

Jimmy i know they dont normally mime but Time was too identical to studio recording. Its a tough song to sing and maybe they copped out as Bens voice is changing and Joshs voice has complety broke.

Libera have reserved front row seats for family and friends at other concerts before. Normally this only takes the first two rows, but maybe with the 37 strong choir, they had lots more seats to reserve this time.

Thanks for posting the link. So, Mini-James and Ralph on "When a Knight"? Interesting...And it seems like a lot of newbies were present.

How did Josh and Ben sound? I would think that Josh's voice would have pretty much fully broken by now, but what about Ben?

You did not hear him apart from on Time as far as i can remember. Ben's voice is slowly changing but he did ok on what he had to do.

Have to praise the powers that be as we got better programmes this time around which was a lot nicer.

thanks for the report, fan_de_LoK
wow, there are a lot of new boys, and Josh has a little brother
so apparently Ed has really left the group.. well, hoping the best for him then. he still my favorite Libera soloist

Dani- Interesting note on "Time". In the Philippines, Alex and Ralph sang the verses together with Josh. How about Arundel? Was it a complete solo?

In any concert, first few rows are always reserved for special guests. But I haven't heard of first 6 rows being reserved. In the Carlos P. Romulo auditorium where they held their Philippine concerts, though, I wouldn't mind sitting after the 6th row.

As far as im aware it sounded like just Josh. As i said this is not me trying to make up lies. Others in my row and behind all said there was something totally off with it. There was also a part where the sound went funny on Josh's part. Like the volume or something went sky high. It just had a very fake feel i felt.
