Julie Tearjerky tenenen..
Whoa! I was able to grab a patron ticket for the much awaited reunion concert of the infamous Eraserheads. Good thing they changed the venue from CCP to Fort Open Field which is more convenient on my end because it's just ten minutes away from my house. Anyways, I Über love Eraserheads to the bits. My childhood will never be complete without their music. I mean really! Who will forget Pare Ko and Ligaya? hay. recall, recall, recall.
Everyone came in droves and packs. The show started approximately 8pm with matching countdown on the big screen and the clock strucks 00:00:00 there was a big "SA WAKAS.. ERASERHEADS" text on the wide screen and the Alapaap Intro in the air. The crowd was so wild when Ely started to sing. (My feet still aches as I write this entry) Everything was perfect until Ely's last song Twilight. There was an announcement that there will gonna be a 20 minute break which is normal for a concert (Since the band performed 15 song straight, Evryone thought that everything is okay) Little did we now that the concert already ended. Ely collapsed backstage because of too much stress because of the pressure, non-stop rehearsals and not to mention that her mother died 2 days prior to the concert! His younger sister (forgot the name) and Buddy went up to the stage and delivered the bad news. Everyone was in awe at first. Some are shocked thinking that it's just a hoax but when the whole band came up minus Ely saying their apologies to the audience, i started to feel that this is really happening. There were a lot of emotions that night, but I noticed that it's more on the positive light. I really did appreciate that. I heard someone from my back commending Ely for what he did. Despite of all the things that he's going through, he did find the time to pursue the concert and play for his audience. Aww..
Eventhough the concert cut short, we didn't go home empty handed. Eraserheads will be Eraserheads. Julie Tearjerky tenenen :)
