Eraserheads -The reunion - Abrupt Ending

Just came from the eraserheads reunion concert. It started with Alapaap, the band rising from stage like a phoenix from the fire. There were pyrotechnics and dazzling displays at the background . For the longest time I can remember, it was probably the biggest local band concert in the country. It filled up the fort open grounds!, not even beyonce was able to do that. A band with all original songs who spearheaded a genre of their own, singing songs using the ordinary mans language straight from the heart , songs gen X and Y grew up to. Finally a band that filipinos paid to see that beat the foreign acts. All 4 of em was there, 15 songs was sang, there was kailan, shake your head, sem break, alapaap, with a smile, kamasutra, toyang ..forgot the others, everythings still a blur. Everysong by the band, I fell in nostalgia of a decade past. After 15 songs the band rested, a 20min break was announce for people to run to the restrooms and buy more food.. time to make some more money for the vendors.. Thirty? Maybe 40 minutes past, still no show, then the whole band came up on stage except one, Elys Sister was introduced, she read a letter, Ely was rushed to the hospital, the concert is ending , the stress of his mothers death and the concert itself has took its toll. The Promoter went on stage, asked for a minute of silence to pray for ely to be well, then that was that. The drama before the show started, ended with more drama.. The show still rocked, heck I think it was the best pinoy concert for the decade unless someone tops it in the remaining 2 yrs. It was well worth it, even if it didnt finish, get well soon ely.

    I was there too! and until now may hangover pa rin ako ng concert na yon.

    You're right, it was well worth it. I was expecting it to be a 45-minute show only (according to rumors) and I was ecstatic that it lasted for about 1 1/2 hour. I would definitely watch the second part (if there'll be any).
