THE FAREWELL TOUR: THE MOFFATTS LIVE IN MANILA

February 18, 2017 | Araneta Coliseum

When The Moffatts’ Farewell Tour stopped by Manila last February 18th at the Araneta Coliseum (c/o Midas Promotions), us 90s kids scrambled to catch the show for the ultimate throwback that we needed. Back in the day, Bob, Clint, and Scott Moffatt (along with Dave Moffatt, who skipped out on this Farewell Tour) were some of the most endearing pop-rockers we loved hearing on the radio. Not to mention, lately music fans have been feeding on nostalgia for some reason. So for a lot of us who were music fans way before this day and age, it was a concert not to be missed.

The Moffatts embarked on their musical career really early in their lives, even finding themselves caught in between an age-old “rivalry” with pop-rock trio Hanson (who, incidentally, were also brothers). At such a young age, they’ve gained a lot of following, and we all had little to no internet in those days. Back then, selling records, playing shows and touring, and getting your songs played on the radio were sort of required if musical success was something you were after. These were things The Moffatts worked hard for and achieved, which is why they’re probably among the first musical acts that would pop into your head when you think about what kind of music you listened to years and years ago.

It’s been 16 years since The Moffatts last played in Manila. The brothers recall that show at the Folk Arts Theatre to be a surreal experience, as the late 90s-early 00s was somewhat the peak of this Moffatts craze. And when they returned to Manila as part of their Farewell Tour, it’s almost as if nothing had changed—Filipino fans still new the words to their timeless hits like “I’ll Be There For You”, “Bang Bang Boom”, “Girl Of My Dreams”, “If Life Is So Short”, “Miss You Like Crazy”, and more.

But as if to prove that The Moffatts aren’t a thing of the past, the brothers gave us something to cherish in the present. For certain parts of the show, Scott Moffatt played some of his own material, while Bob and Clint teamed up as a duo to play some of their songs as Endless Summer. On one occasion, the entire Araneta Coliseum lit up with cellphone lights as they covered “When You Say Nothing At All” by Keith Whitley.

Though we may now be bidding farewell to The Moffatts, the show sure made long-time fans feel like there was no reason to say goodbye. Our favorite Moffatts songs will always be something we’d keep in our hearts, and, individually, Scott, Bob, and Clint have their respective musical endeavors going on—something for all of us to watch out for.
