REBUILD at The Greek Theatre

Truly fantastic show for a great cause. Thank you to all involved for showcasing how music and talent can bring people together and bring awareness, resources and time to an amazing cause.
The Greek itself is an outstanding classic venue for visitors and LA natives alike. I much prefer the summer outdoor concerts to a large, impersonal venue. Our night started off with a seemless park and ride to the Greek Theatre ($ 7 ticket purchased at least 24hours before the event) and even being offered a vegan, gluten free, «non-​psychedelic» brownie by a fellow passenger on our shuttle ride over.
That brownie was made with love and it definitely was sign it was «going to be a good night.»
There was a high variety of good quality acts and yes the adorable Miguel Antonio definitely stood out as well as the incredible Jabbawokeez, the comedians, the choral groups, the girl groups, the rap groups, there was literally artists for everyone’s tastes. The concert was really a showcase of talent and all the Filipino artists really represented themselves and the cause so well. It also inspired me to get back on the piano and remember all the karaōke parties we had growing up pre-​magic mike straight up 8-​tracks and tapes with a speaker connected to a microphone.
My family and my friends suffered through hurricanes and flood. I also have even been in a «baby» flood myself. It goes without saying that there is so much to rebuild after that devastation and in countries with poor infrastructure, lack of accountability and a lack of resources the time lag can be excruciating. I really REALLY appreciate how
.ap said that he himself would be flying to the Philippines and delivering donations to Tacloban. This is what needs to happen, we need to follow our donations and money to see it gets to the right people. I have heard stories about donations being stuck in customs. My family and I have some donations boxes right now that are undelivered as they are stuck in customs.
When it came to the end, with Taboos Zumba performance and The Black Eyed Peas, with an Irish twist on a Fergie Look Alike, the night was «definitely a good night.» I wish they had started their set with that song but I am very glad they included «Bebot.»
Thank you to Katie B., UnilocalLAEast and the Greek Theatre for hooking us up and inspiring us to help out our fellow «kapatid» (brothers) in Tagalog and all becoming adopted Filipinos for the night!
Why am I craving adobo and ube ice cream now?

It’s great when you can enjoy something you love and at the same time help others in need. Apl’s foundation has been doing some great work in building awareness and contributing to those in need in the Philippines, even after news of the typhoon has completely disappeared from the media.
The show itself was a great mix of well known artists like the Black Eyed Peas (minus Fergie), Dub Fx, Dj Qbert, comedian Jo Koy, and the Jabbawokeez, as well as some up and coming artists. There was definitely a lot of Filipino talent! Weather was perfect for an outdoor event!
I have to give it up to the Greek Theater for their organization skills! I have never gotten out of stacked parking that quickly! Our car was almost by itself by the time we got there and we left almost immediately.
Thank you so much to Katie and Unilocal for the awesome hook up!!!

Miguel Antonio stole the show, and I wish his equipment had been working so that maybe he could have sang another song. When the announcer spent twenty minutes stalling later on in the evening, we all wanted that 13-​year-​old boy to return to the stage. :) His voice was amazing, and he seemed so genuine and sincere.
From comedians, to singers, to DJs, this event had it all, and it was for a great cause. Hopefully they collected an adequate sum of money to he’ll disaster victims and the kids in the hospital enjoyed the show and shout outs.
Thanks, Katie B., for bringing awareness to a wonderful cause and letting us be a part of healing and relief.

What a phenomenal concert — thanks to Katie B for hooking us up with tickets!
With a variety-​style format, the REBUILD concert had an impressive variety of acts — everything from stand up comedy to a capella music to electronica to R&B. There was definitely something for everyone. The show was LONG — it started at 6:30 PM and didn’t finish until 11:30 PM, with no intermission breaks!
I discovered some really cool new-​to-​me acts: AJ Rafael, a great singer with fun, upbeat tunes and a Jason Mraz-​like voice, the Jazmin sisters, a singing group that sounded to me like a modern, 4-​person version of Destiny’s Child, the Filharmonic, a kick-​ass a capella group that would be right at home on Glee, and Miguel Antonio, a 13-​year old who gave an amazing rendition of Piano Man (which just happens to be my all time favorite song.) Not to mention I got to hear the guys from The Black Eyed Peas jamming out to some of their biggest hits :)
Of course, as a benefit, the core focus was on raising money and resources to help survivors of Typhoon Haiyan. The show was also a really cool celebration of contemporary Filipino art, artists, and culture. I’m so glad I got the chance to experience it!

Wow. Another great Greek Theatre event courtesy of Katie B and Unilocal!
This was a jam packed night, the list just kept on going on from DJs, dancers, singers, comedians, and BEP! The proceeds all went to building the phillippines so the cause was amazing. Everyone had a good time and the show kept on going on and on. Unfortunately, I had to leave early because I had work early the next day so I missed the BEP but boy was the event awesome!
The seats were farther back but the view was great and even in the back the crowd had a positive chill vibe. I just wished that I parked at the shuttle like everyone said for $ 7 rather than parking at a closer lot for $ 20.
Overall, another awesome event by Katie B!
Nothings beats LA East!

AMAZING!!! Thank you Katie for the opportunity to partake in this entertainment-​filled event! I’ve been to the Greek theater once before but this was my +1’s first time there and she was absolutely grateful for the chance to see a list big name entertainers all in one night for a good cause.
first of all, the new parking option is seriously one of the best idea for this venue because I remember at the previous concert I came to, having to wait for everyone to leave in the stacked parking lot was not fun. with the new off site parking, it’s only $ 7 and you parked at the pony park (there are multiple lots to choose from) and you take one of the 3 – 4 comfortable, air conditioned shuttles to the theater. The online purchase process is simple, you choose the event, the number of riders in your car (so that every rider gets a wristband to ride the shuttles), print your ticket and bring it to the lot. It’s a round trip shuttle pass (the wristband). I have to mention this because my friend asked the driver when we boarded, and i figured if SHE asked, then there must be others who have thought the same :)
the shuttle doesnt drop you off at the front of the venue, just a short distance away from it and the pickup is at the same spot. Our tickets were waiting for us at will-​call and we got some fantastic seats! we were dead center of the stage in section C! what was even better was that the row in front of us was nearly unoccupied the entire time we were there so no view was obstructed. not that it would have been but it’s always nice not having to look over someone’s big hat or hair!
we arrived around 7PM so we missed the beginning of the show but we didn’t leave til about 1130PM! it was nearly a 4 hour entertainment fest! we saw an abundance of performers with filipino ties, everything from dancers to singers to comedians! Everything from overseas up and coming stars to famous U.S. celebrities like the Jabbawockeez, Jo Koy and of course
.ap, Taboo and
of the black eyed peas. I was most impressed by a 13 year singer/​muscian, Miguel Antonio… WOW, talk about maturity and talent! I suggest you google him and check out his story and watch him perform!!! In between acts, representatives of charities and organization spoke about their efforts and really gave us some perspective of the entire rebuilding process.
The entire evening was absolutely amazing and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it! Thanks again Katie B, Unilocal,Greek Theater and
.ap foundation for this wonderful event!

Thanks to Unilocal and awesomely awesome Katie B. I got to be a part of the #RebuildPhilippines cause! The charity event raised money and awareness for the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan. They’ve been without bare necessities for over half a year now — no homes, no roads, no plumbing, no electricity.
.ap of BEP concerted this whole thing to help his homeland — and it turned out to be a huge success* !
A long list of artists performed in all genres — piano singing (Miguel Antonio), comedians (Joey Guila, Ron Josol, Jo Koy), acapella (The Filharmonic — like acapella 1Direction lol, Philippine Chamber Choir), hiphop (Jazmin Sisters, We The Future), DJ (QBert), dance (Jabbawockeez), and many others. What I expected to be a 2hr event was over 4hrs; I had to leave by 10:30PM and it was still going strong … the Black Eyed Peas guys hadn’t even gone on yet :) It was a long night of fun entertainment, and it was streaming live online to hospital kids and the rest of the world! Glad the place was packed and the general vibe of the peeps was fun-​loving and friendly.
Parking was a breeze with the online pre-​sale of shuttle-​lot service ($ 7). Closer lots were $ 15-​$ 50. Picking up the tix was just as easy at will-​call — thank you Katie for always being the perfect coordinator. The cozy venue is about 5000 individual seats (not benches like the much bigger Hollywood Bowl) and bc they don’t allow outside food/​drinks, they have a good variety of food and drinks for sale.
*rated by how much fun we had

Amazing and what a great cause!
They should have given Miguel Antonio, 13 year old pianist, more play time. He was great.
I live close and used Über and ditched the $ 20 stacked parking.

Great concert for a cause! We won backstage passes from Rallysong and were able to meet many of the artists. Performances were full of energy and cheery. Everyone seemed to be happy on stage, which isn’t always the case. Great venue with good sightlines (thanks to Unilocal for the tix) and reasonably priced food. We even purchased a Waka-​Waka to help the cause. More events like this please!

My first time to the Greek! I had a great time at this benefit concert. Thanks Katie! It was super easy to get my tickets at the will call line, as soon as I said my name and gave them my id, I was handed an envelope with my tickets.
I thought this benefit concert was going to go till about 9 since it started at 6:30 but this event kept going till past 11 pm! I The comedians were really funny, Jo Koy and Joey Gilla. The dancing by the Jabbawockeez was superb. I think my favorite act of the night was actually the 13 year old kid Miguel Antonio, that kid has got some chops!
I do have to say for an actress Nia Peeples is terrible at improv when there was a techical difficulty happened during the show. It was so bad, it was kind of funny watching her struggle while the techs got things back in order. There was a few hiccups but other wise the event was great!
I opted to do the offsite shuttle parking for $ 7.00 it was actually really easy and way cheaper than the other parking options and didn’t take long at all. That was a great tip!

I’ve passed by the Greek Theatre on my way to Griffith Observatory many times, but this was my first time actually going in and attending an event! I’m SO glad I was able to go (thanks Unilocal and Katie!) I had an amazing time. The weather was great and I loved the variety of acts. My favorites would have to be Miguel Antonio, AJ Rafael, and Jo Koy — but honestly, every single one was brimming with talent!
We were seated a little farther back, but the view was still excellent. Overall, this was a great event to attend for my first visit to the Greek Theatre. And it was all for a wonderful cause too! There were even a couple of booths selling goods in the front that would help benefit the Philippines. ~4.5 hours of pure fun and excitement. What a great way to end a Sunday night!

This was my first visit at the Greek Theater and it was amazing. I have never been around so many filipinos in my life and they were nice people. The guy who sat in front of us gave us some turon. It was so good. He gave us his business card for Fiesta Fast Food. I learned a lot about filipino culture and the problems they faced in their country from this concert.
The seats were great and the weather was perfect. I enjoyed the sound and the ambiance. My favorite was Miguel who played the piano and sang so well. He was so cute.
Unfortunately, I had to leave at 9 while the Jazmin sisters performed and was not able to wait for Back Eyed Peas to come out. I was able to see
.ap perform with Slapshock. I still had fun though.
I didn’t use the parking lot and instead parked down the hill. I worked up a good sweat coming up the hill, but I enjoyed looking at the nice houses. Walking back down to the car was a breeze.
Thanks Unilocal and Katie for the hook up!

Thank you so much Unilocal and Katie! Had a FUNtastic time! It was a goodtime for a CAUSE. Picking up tix was well organized and easy. Primo seats! It was easy access to the restroom and vantage point to watch the performances. Unilocalers are VIP indeed. Using the shuttle was the best. Black Eyed Peas were awesome. Cool venue and all-​star lineup were terrific. DJ Q-​bert spinning was amazing. Jo Koy and other comedians were funny. Jabbawockeez was wonderful.
Plus, we had a chance to meet
.Ap,
and the rest of the crew backstage.

A stellar night of Filipino and Filipino American performers, all for a terrific cause. Hosted by the Black Eyed Peas’
.ap, Rebuild Philippines! was an awesome showcase of many talented artists, musicians, dancers, DJs, and performers. From beat boxers to dancers to musicians to comedians, there was a little bit of something for everyone. Proceeds benefited the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines and the vibe going into the Greek and inside the theater was great.
The event actually started earlier than the 6:30pm time, as two DJs were spinning and getting the crowd warmed up. Cher Calvin, Mark Dacascos, and Nia Peeples (yes, THAT Nia Peeples!) shared the MC duties for the evening and they kept things moving along at a good pace, while also maintaining the right tone when talking about the tragic events of last year.
We enjoyed the first few pop artists, especially Chris Hayzel and AJ Rafael, before the sun set. The Philippine Chamber Singers and The Filharmonic did the a cappella thing, with the latter receiving an enthusiastic response, thanks to their recent appearance on NBC’s The Sing-​Off. It was interesting to see that one of
.ap’s first bands on his new record label was Slapshock, a metal band from the Philippines, and he joined them onstage for a song.
The highlights for me were two acts that were on my Bucket List of Performers I Must See: the Jabbawockeez and DJ Q*Bert. Although they performed abbreviated sets (as did all of the artists due to the time constraints of such a huge event), they totally lived up to the hype. The Jabbawockeez were fantastic, thanks to their Vegas-​worthy choreography and lights show, and Q*Bert showed off his legendary turntable skills.
My wife and I also enjoyed the comedians Joey Guila and Ron Josol, but special guest Jo Koy stole the show with his very short set. This was the only bummer about the night: the later acts had to cut their setlist in order to ensure everybody was able to perform. By the time the Black Eyed Peas (minus Fergie) took the stage, they only played a handful of songs when the audience seemed ready for a full show. No worries, though, as the crowd gave
.ap and the band a rousing send-​off into the cool night.
Thank you, Katie B. and Unilocal for the tickets! It was an amazing evening and we were thrilled to be there.

A night at The Greek, how could I refuse!
Thanks Unilocal and Katie B. for the amazing opportunity to experience my first concert at The Greek Theatre.
I opted to just use the parking lots instead of the shuttle service. I’ve been to Griffith before, and was scared parking would be a mess. My friend and I arrive a little later than I planned, but parking was a breeze since I already bought the parking ticket online.
Picking up tickets was super easy, and the venue is just so easy to navigate through. After grabbing a couple beers and some snacks, we were ready to sit and enjoy the show. For free tickets, I didn’t know what to expect. I thought maybe the highest of high seats. But the seats were in the second section, last row, smack dab in the center. I was able to see the stage perfectly.
My favorite performances? Well, the BLACK EYED PEAS! Of course. But besides them, DJ Q-​bert, Jo Koy (surprise appearance), and Jabbawockeez. All the acts were quite amazing actually, and I enjoyed being introduced to many Filipino artists I never knew about.
Definitely a worthwhile show, and to top it off, for a great cause. Props to the
.ap foundation for putting on this show and all their efforts to help REBUILD Philippines!

First time at the Greek theatre. Perfect weather, and great turn out for a charity concert. Jabbawakeez was amazing, so was this 13 yr old Miguel from Singapore. Parking at the Griffith park pony rides and taking shuttle was probably the smartest thing we did. Food there needs a little improvement but after a few drinks it don’t matter no mo’. Will be back!

thank you so much Katie!!! Had a fantastic time! Learned so much about the cause. Great venue and all star lineup. DJ spinning was awesome. Picking up tickets was easy well organized. Using the shuttle was the best. Black Eyed Peas were great. Thank you Unilocal

So much fun and a variety of performances! Thank you Katie B! We sure did enjoy ourselves. We just LOVED Jabbawakeez as well as the 13 year old «Piano Man!» He blew us away with his old soul talent.
The BEP stole she show (minus Fergie of course!)!!
Parking was easy, getting out of there was a breeze, perfect weather = Super fun times!

Thank you Unilocal and Katie B for hooking us up with a pair to this fundraising charity concert. It was an awesome night at the Greek Theatre and I absolutely enjoyed this great evening at the open air concert under the stars. Awesome music and lineup. And oh~ thank you for the tips on the off-​site parking!

Thanks Unilocal and Katie B for hooking us up with these free tickets! Picking up tickets at will call was easy, and I actually live pretty close so my husband and I parked in the neighborhood and walked up (thanks Alida!)
Being a Sunday night, we left early at 9:30 when the dj set started. But we saw plenty of the acts. It was a nice show with various acts including singing, dancing, and comedy. The purpose of the benefit was not forgotten and there was so much love and support for the Philippines and relief efforts.
My favorite acts of the night were Jabbawockeez, very talented 13-​yr old singer Miguel Antonio, and comedian Joey Guila. Great show!
