This review made me shed a tear.

Fer's Review
I was finally able to cross out one of the items on my list of
things to do before i die...
"watch jars of clay live in concert"

I thought I would have to go to the states and tract them down to
fulfill my dream - obviously, a long, a tedious and a not-so-
affordable process but the other night the dream came true...
I was able to sing along with my favorite band as they sing my
favorite songs!

...i need you ...five candles ..frail
...show you love ...crazy time ...fly
...flood ...tea and sympathy

I was singing, shouting, waving, dancing and jumping. It has been a
long time since I felt that happy. Hehehehe

The highlight of the evening for me was when they sang "Worlds
Apart" (the top of my favorite list). While the band was singing, I
was standing, singing along with my head tilted up and my eyes
closed. I was no longer aware of the crowd. Suddenly, it was just
me, the voice and that song/prayer. If there is such a thing as an
out-of-body experience, I guess that was it. I felt like I was
floating.

I usually feel the same way (to a lesser degree) whenever I listen
to the tract on my cd but to hear it live was way way better.
The feeling was more intense, the words were more alive and the
levitation was much much higher! : )Someone said that the coliseum
became solemn during the song. I guess I was not the only one
floating.

While the band was playing the song's intro, I called up a friend's
cellphone - a fellow jarsofclay freak who also favored "Worlds
Apart". Unfortunately, she was not able to make it to the concert.
I wanted her hear the band sing the song live thru the phone. Later
that evening she texted me and told me that it made her cry. (she
was riding the bus the time she was listening to the song)

Such are the feelings that the band and their songs can bring out.

I can truly say that the evening of March 2, 2005 was one of the
happiest moments of my pathetic life ;)

I'm so happy (an understatement) jars of clay finally came to the
country.

I hope they come back soon.

But even if it takes another ten year before they come back here, I
know it will still be worth the wait.

Yep, it was a nice experience. I like the Tea and Sympathy part. Almost everyone had their phones lit, waving it back and forth in tune with the song - dreamy plantarium style. Hehehe.. galing! Lufet talaga Jars. Hope they come back again soon.
