Full article:

Ross Knudson (LAMC Concerts, Singapore) : I remember we had a tough show at Araneta Coliseum, Manila, in the Philippines with Snow Patrol because there had been heavy flooding in the city before the show. The whole place was flooded by a massive typhoon. Steve was naturally very concerned but after considerable discussions we decided to go ahead with the show. It worked out really well and the band donated some funds to flood relief and the Red Cross. It was a difficult situation which, in the end, became something very positive.
