At 7:37 pm, musicians were told to “get out of the showroom and into safe areas” as Manilaw sang the 1978 hit “You Can’t Laugh Without It”.
I was able to hear an announcer say the much-anticipated concert was “canceled”.

Manilo did it with “Gopakapana” and “Mandy” before being cut.
Disappointed music fans said the show may have gone.
“It’s very disappointing. I could not even see the killers – that’s the main reason I came.” Shine Hemmings said. “The concert was so good, it was so good.”

“We actually waited three hours and now we’re inside,” said Alex Maxwell, 22, of Midtown.
