Eraserheads Live! The Final Set Reunion Concert


Uhmm... I won’t claim to be a big fan of Eraserheads. I don’t own any albums. I don’t know all their songs, just those that were released or played on the radio. That's why, a day before the concert, I was still undecided if I would go that I let my father to decide for me. To my surprise, he agreed. :D

So came the concert day. We were late! We came running when we heard that the show was about to start. Fortunately, it was only the MTV VJs that were onstage. So while waiting for the Eheads, we kept ourselves busy by taking pictures, watching their old videos and interviews that were actually some sort of a trip down the memory lane. :)

After a few minutes, letters started flashing on the big screen that turned out to be a different kind of countdown, which of course, ended with the letter E. And then, Magasin was played. Neither Red nor Diane got the first song right. Hahaha... :P

Huwag Mo Nang Itanong is one of the songs I was looking forward to hear and it was sung in Reggae style by Marcus, who has a Hello Kitty guitar. Cute! :D

And who would forget when Ely said, "On vocals… Raimund Marasigan!" or when Raimund came to Ely and the two posed for a photograph. Sweet! :D

On the second set or should I say, the acoustic set, they were all seated while playing Julie Tearjerky, Tikman, Pare Ko, Kailan, Spolarium and Overdrive. When the band left, it felt like the concert was already over but no one was leaving. Everyone was asking for more including actor Jericho Rosales who was very enthusiastic about it!

On the next set, Ely sang Super Proxy and Kaleidoscope World as a tribute to Francis M. Too bad he didn't make it. He was supposed to jam with them. :(

Also on this set was when they performed a slower version of Alapaap that I loved so much and Minsan that was very touching because of Ely's voice and facial expression. I even thought it could be their theme song. :)

Then of course, the Huling El Bimbo which I expected to be the last song. Well, fireworks started to light up the sky and confetti was pouring down when it was about to end. :)

Onstage, the Eheads standed side by side and bowed together. Oh before that, Ely set a piano on fire and threw his sneakers to the crowd as he left. He even thought of throwing his socks. Hahaha...

As the people were heading for the exit, we decided to hang out at the giant Coke for a while which was a good thing, because a few minutes later we heard Ely said "3 for the road". :D

They played Ligaya, Sembreak and Toyang. At that point in time, the VIP got to sing the last song because Ely went down the stage and passed the microphone to them. Then, end of the concert.

Since we were already tired, thirsty and hungry we decided to look for a place to eat and we ended up at Fish & Co.  This is me with my Eheads concert ticket. Hehehe... 

Overall? The best concert ever of course! Good thing, I came for this or I'll probably regret it. :D
