This picture was taken in 2006, Jakob was head over heels when the Power Rangers visited Manila.

Some 8 years later, he’s shouting to the beat of a different drum (Thomas Hedlund to be precise).

It was the first concert he ever went to and it was extra special because Phoenix was truly one of his favorite acts.  Hell, he knows more of their discography than I do.

You know the phrase – “you see them grow right before your eyes.”  Exactly what happened.

It was special last night (and I’m waxing nostalgic over a rock concert).

Big thanks to the best concert photographer in the country Magic Liwanag and Karpos Productions for the VIP seats!
