Bands that\u00a0do shows the second time around do not usually surprise fans anymore; but that exempts Yellowcard after an epic performance at SM North EDSA, Skydome, last February 10, Friday. \u00a0For what seemed to be the final tour before breaking up after 20 wonderful years making music, the band did put up a massively impressive show and didn\u2019t fail to hype up their Filipino fans during their farewell tour in Manila.<\/p>\n

Alternative rock band Gracenote was the front act of the night. Having escaped the Paramore-cloned\u00a0 tag, they did a pretty amazing job on covering Paramore\u2019s \u201cThat’s What You Get\u201d which they haven\u2019t played in a long time, according to lead vocals Eunice. The band put up a great vibe before Yellowcard went up onstage.<\/p>\n

Red lights were flashing on stage as the band walks in with such vigor and sang their first song, \u201cBelieve\u201d, followed by \u00a0\u201cLights and Sounds\u201d,\u00a0 \u201cAlways Summer\u201d, \u201cWhat Appears\u201d, \u201cRest In Peace\u201d, and\u00a0 \u201cWay Away\u201d which were few of the songs that highlighted their 20 years in the music scene.<\/p>\n

Ever since 2000, Yellowcard continuously earned adoration from their fans globally because of their heart-thumping, melodic sense, and pure musical greatness. Members Ryan Key, Sean Mackin, Ryan Mendez and Josh Portman had everyone transfixed for almost 3 hours of nonstop head-banging hits from now and then. They performed songs \u201cA Place We Set Afire\u201d, \u201cBreathing\u201d, \u201cLight Up The Sky\u201d and more.<\/p>\n

Key also took his acoustic guitar and treated his fans with a laidback version of \u201cEmpty Apartment\u201d with Mackin entering on the second verse doing his ever impeccable violin skills.<\/p>\n

Finally, they capped off the night with their highly successful songs \u201cOcean Avenue\u201d and \u201cOnly One\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"asasasa\"<\/p>\n

Yellowcard will always put a mark on every Filipino, because, let\u2019s be honest, what\u2019s not to love about them? For their 20 years in the industry, they\u2019ve stood the test of time through taking risks each time they put on a new record and ingeniously working their hard-hitting music into both slow, classical sounding, and upbeat ones too! Whether you\u2019re a fan or not, you\u2019d be amaze how their music has encouraged and inspired a lot of listeners to push through any obstacles and come out on top.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re breaking up? Yes. But their music will always be there and will always slay.<\/p>\n

Hats off to DMC Entertainment and Phoenix Productions for putting off a sold-out show!<\/p>\n
