I wasn’t very keen on watching Rivermaya here in Singapore when I heard that they were coming for a 2 night concert. Aside from the fact that the band is far from the old Rivermaya I knew, I am not following their music anymore. That being said, not seeing them is not that big deal for me. I can easily skip their concert with no feeling of regret.

So when Carol asked me to go with her to watch the concert for free, I was a bit hesistant because it is turning to be a long Saturday for me (Orchard Road shoot in the morning with PinoyCSers, Maan’s daughter 1st bday and the concert to wrap up the day). But then I gave in after I called Pen and asked if I can watch the concert.

The concert was great. The new faces are awesome and friendly. They sang the old Rivermaya classics and 2 or 3 songs from their new album.

Crowd was up on their feet dancing and singing along with the band. They had a solid set and shared smiles and laughs with the audience.

They were selling their latest CD at the venue but I have no money with me that night. Even if I wanted to buy one, I really can’t afford.

I may give it another try and listen to the new songs. I dunno, maybe I got tired of listening to Rico’s voice for the longest time. Since they have Jayson for their vocals, it maybe the new blood that the Rivermaya badly needs.
