Idinaos ng Apo Hiking Society ang kanilang concert bilang pagdiriwang ng kanilang 50th anniversary noong July 15 at 16 sa Hyundai Hall, Arete ng Ateneo De Manila University.
Full house ang naging two-night concert ng iconic OPM group at nakatanggap pa sila ng standing ovation. Mayroon ding tribute sina Boboy Garrovillo at Jim Paredes para sa kanilang yumaong kaibigan at kasamahan sa grupo na si Danny Javier.
Sa naging panayam ng GMANetwork.com sa Apo Hiking Society, sinabi ni Jim na mas naging confident at creative ang kanilang grupo ngayong umabot na sila ng limang dekada.
“In all honesty, 50 years is just a number. I think on stage, I feel much more confident with our material now and I think we're even more creative. Confident kasi creative pa rin and you're still trying out new stuff with the audience, and still writing new songs, and everything. Usually kapag ganyan, parang you just bring back old memories. We do bring back old memories, but we create new ones as well. So, gano'n ang feeling," ani Jim.
Para kina Boboy at Jim, walang sikreto sa matagal na pagtakbo ng kanilang career bilang mga mang-aawit dahil, ayon sa kanila, “The music will let you live on.”
Sabi ni Boboy, “There's no secret, the music will let you live on. You'll just try to do the music. If it's good, people will listen to it, you will live on. Longevity is connecting to the people."
Dagdag naman ni Jim, “Parang if you write the music of the soundtrack of their lives, siyempre kasali ka sa buhay nila hanggang tumanda.”
