I never thought I'd get the chance to do one, ever. :-)
I didn't get to meet Elliott, but that is alright.

Alab/imogen...wonderful recap....had me in tears. So glad you got to experience and record Elliott's first overseas concert!

That was truely a beautiful recap imogen_ph. I was in tears and practically bawling when you quoted the lyric from A Song For You. Thank you!!!

Very moving, well related recap. Thank you. I'm so happy that you all got to experience the live Elliott. Isn't he amazing!!

Thank you for posting that beautiful recap! And the picture at the top - how was that done? I absolutely love it. Would it be all right for me to copy it just for my desktop? I promise I won't use it for any other purpose.

I love your recap, imogen!!! :)

thanks so much for your recap, i loved it! also love the top photo! so happy that you had an awesome experience and you now have memories of his first overseas concert! congrats!

sobrang saya ba?! feel ko ang excitement mo sa blog. nabasa ko dito na hindi ka nakakuha ng M&G passes? wow, sayang...sorry about that!

THanks for the recap. So heartfelt and sincere.

Pinaiyak mo ako!!!

Thanks for the great recap, Imogen!

alab, I know you've waited a long time for this. I'm so glad you got to finally see him in person and hear him sing live. What an experience, right? Wonderful recap and videos!

It's very exciting to see and read about the reception Elliott is getting in the Philippines. I'm so proud of him.

cfans, sure, no problem. You can see bigger versions here and here. I just added some brush effects with Photoshop. It's a screencap from ASFY.

I'm trying to upload more videos, will update y'all if that happens. My connection's erratic. It's rainy over here today, good for Elliott it won't be too hot.

Thank you so much for that beautiful and heartfelt recap - that is truly one of the best ever!! I am so thrilled that our Philipine fans get this chance to see Elliott in person.

alab..I am really happy you finally got to see elliott live..too bad you didn't get in contact with whoever made the "list" for backstage access..You put tons of work into that y-pod and it would have been great for you to get to meet him as others here have considering everything you have done to promote him and all your hard work.

I agree completely.

Thanks for the wonderful recap, videos, photos & the y-pod.

Loved it also....got all teary.... :awe:

Wow!! What a way to jump-start my day!!! Your recap was awesome. I so wish you had been able to meet Elliott, I woul have LOVED that recap!
Excuse me, I have to explain to the family why I am sitting here sobbing......

Great recap...thanks!

Thank you! That last one with Joonie . . . I just can't describe how magnificent it is. It is such an expression of the passion Elliott puts into every song.

That was beautiful, imogen! And I know exactly what you mean about being torn between recording the event and experiencing it. Had that same dilemma myself tonight at Glorietta, so I decided to videotape only the first half of every song, then sit back and gloriously experience the other half. So although I ended with only incomplete half-songs on my videocam, at least I got to feel that I was really there! Thanks for putting it into words so eloquently! I've always wondered if anyone else felt the same way. Tonight I envied the people with tripods!

Thank you for your beautiful recap! As a native Filipino who has lived in the US for almost 20 years, it was particularly touching to hear your heartfelt sentiments. I am so proud of the warm reception that Elliott is receiving there. I think Elliott is particularly well-loved by Pinoys because he is humble and down-to-earth, not to mention loving to his mom--- qualities that we truly value in our culture!

Thank you Elliott for making Pinoy dreams come true!!!



:wub:

What a beautiful recap--thank you!

Thanks for all your comments. Now I'm getting sad because I didn't get to meet him. *sniff* I said at first that it's alright if I didn't, but the more I think about it, the more I get sad. Waah. I'm trying to find a way and see if I can go to the ATC show, it's just it'll be more of an effort because it's so far from where I am.

I posted a vid of FAW just today, you can go to the 1st link above to watch it. cfans, if you watch the ASFY video you'll see the moment I took the screencap from :-)

someone should put you on "the list"..if others here can get special favors why not you..you have supported him from day 1 and ALOT of fans who never come here get all their E news from the Y-pod which is fantastic!

Oh, imogen, I do hope you get to meet him..You of all people should not be deprived of that experience. Thanks for the amazing recap and all!

Thanks AngELL. I've uploaded all the videos I have finally. There are 7 in total.

Yes! I found it - it's at 2:23 in the video. Thank you!

I sure hope that you're able to go to the ATC show and get to meet Elliott. I will keep all of my fingers and toes crossed for you. But if it doesn't happen, remember that you did get to experience something that you thought might never happen - seeing him in person and hearing that magnificent voice live and from just a few feet away.
