The Final Set - Eraserheads Reunion Concert

Saw this in the Supreme Section of The Philippine Star this morning. *big, big smile* :)

This just in! Supreme Eheads scoop!
Eheads fans, this one's for you!

It’s confirmed. The Eraserheads concert “The Final Set” is set.

Save the date: March 7, 2009. The concert is to be produced by MTV and Smart with the venue yet to be announced. For now, it’s a tossup between The Fort and SM Mall of Asia grounds.

They're just about to sign the contract and will have their press conference on January 19. We know you can’t wait, that’s why we’re already telling you — remember, you read it here first in Supreme!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best news i've ever read so far this year. :P

Can't wait. Super, super excited! Definitely saving the date and will not plan to do anything on that day except to watch the four guys (or maybe 5 ;)) do their stuff and more! :)

See y'all!

The Story Behind Your Universe:))

This is my niece's blog post. I'm re-posting it here because of two reasons:

1) 'though an accident happened that night, 'twas one great bonding experience for us. Just pigging out and staying up late and making the remote control go crazy coz we kept on switching (music) channels.

2) i like the way Inna writes. Shempre, one proud tita ako! ;-)

Here's the link to her site:

I didn't lose a finger neither did I play with fireworks. But I nearly got my left ring finger chopped off.

I decided to stay and be left in my Lolo's house in Paranaque after we came there for Christmas. I didn't have clothes or anything. Good thing my titas and I are just the same size:p. On my second day my brother decided to follow and stay. I asked my dad to bring me clothes cause I knew I was going to stay longer than 2 days. I told my mom over the phone on what to pack. She packed everything that I asked her too. My mom didn't think of the other stuff that I needed like slippers. Ha! Ha! My feet are twice the size of my titas. It was funny that their slippers sorta fit me.

Tita Colette was obesessing over her new found love. Rico Blanco. Ha! Ha! We looked for 'Your Universe' chords over the net and sang along with it with me playing the guitar. I think she'd gotten over Ely B. That was good.

On my third night, We went over to the nearest mall which was SM Bicutan. We went to the grocery and bought stuff. I thought of baking oatmeal cookies when we got back home. I baked the cookies and we ate them with whip cream on top. I put too much coffee. I decided to get some milk and put some whip cream on top. Rico Blanco's song 'Your Universe' was playing on one of the music channels. I thought of how I was going to drink it without sipping it from the cup itself. I asked TIta Candy if they had straws anywhere. She said they did have and they were over the sliding cabinet that we all knew was prone to breaking so she told me to be careful. I was careful but then it happened. One of the sliding glass doors of the cabinet came out. I tried catching it but it fell to the floor. The glass broke in my hand. I thought nothing bad happened until I saw the blood rushing out of my finger. I was never scared of blood, not until yesterday. I thought it was never going to stop rushing out of my finger. That was scary. They rushed me to the sink to flush my hand with water. Tito Alex said to continue what we were doing and wait for the bleeding to stop so we can see if my finger need to be stiched up. I panicked at the sound of 'stiched up', I never liked needles in my body. I started crying. Tita Colette and Tita Candy tried to me laught and feel better. Ang Kodak momment nun. They started to clean the tiny glass pieces so that it wouldn't hurt anybody else. They wrapped my finger in a hankee and put it over ice. Then they looked at it. It made me sick. The skin looked like it was about to come off with a piece of my meat. Ewww... I didn't want to be stiched up so instead they cleaned it and wrapped around wi fingersth gauze.

Then we saw it again, Your Universe. We decided to call the story Your Universe.

Good thing Edward and Jasper weren't around. *wink,wink*

No guitar playing for awhile :((

It was partly my fault and the straws. Ha! Ha! nag feeling Starbucks kasi:P

Happy New Year!! Don't lose any of your fingers!

----Inna

P.S. I'll try to upload some photos of my finger a day after:p

Just a little correction:

"Tita Colette was obesessing over her new found love. Rico Blanco...I think she'd gotten over Ely B. That was good."

I've always loved Rico Blanco since his Rivermaya days. Was actually glad when he took over Bamboo (since i was not and still am, not a Bamboo fan). But then again, yeah, i was first and foremost an Ely Buendia fanatic. :) So Rico had to stay in the background. Haha! BUT, i think i'm one of those super excited when Rico had gone solo. I was like, 'finally, it's 'bout time." :)

So you see, he's not really a new found love. ;-) I'm just more obsessed with him now than before. Hehe! And NO, i have not gotten over Ely yet! I think that will never happen. ;-)

A night to remember: An Eraserheads Experience

It's been a week since the Eraserheads' one-night reunion concert and I still can't get over it.

I've read a lot of blogs, have seen thousands of pictures and have been a constant visitor of You Tube over the past week. The Eraserheads fever is still in the air. I can still smell it. :)

The Eraserheads' one-night reunion concert was held last Saturday, August 30, 2008, at the Bonifacio Open Field in Taguig. Thousands of people came to witness the band, dubbed as the "Beatles of the Philippines," perform together again after 6 long years.

Excitement was written on everyone's faces. When the timer was flashed on screen, everyone, me included, screamed our lungs out during the last 10 seconds. It was like New Year's Eve. Funny thing is, we did that for every last 10 seconds of every minute. Ang kulit, hehe!

And then there they were. All four of them. In one stage.

It was so surreal.

It was also so fitting to have Alapaap as the first song. It was only the beginning and yet, super parang nasa alapaap na talaga yung feeling. The impact of the song was made even stronger by the fireworks and of course, the fans singing along.

From the first to the last song of the first set, the crowd was so pumped up. There were even chants of "group hug" in between songs. And nakikisigaw rin kami ng mga kasama ko since malapit kami dun sa mga guys who started it. Hehe! (Note: nasa patron kami. I think kalat-kalat naman yung sumisigaw ng group hug. Basta from where we at, nasa unahan lang namin yung mga guys na sumisigaw.) Anyhow, the band performed 15 wonderful songs for their first set. Actually, I already got more than my money's worth when they played "Shake yer head," one of my many, many favorites. I told my sister "Ok nako, tinugtog na nila yung Shake yer head KO."

First break.

Supposedly, it was a just a 20-minute break. But it took longer. Then, Raimund, Buddy and Markus showed up on stage, with Lally, Ely's sister. No sign of Ely. Clearly, there was something wrong with this picture.

And then the announcement was made.

The concert had to be cut short because Ely was rushed to the hospital.

People were so shocked. I was shocked. I was nearly in tears. We were asked to say a silent prayer for Ely and it felt kinda strange. I felt like I was praying for someone I know personally. Someone like family.

'Though it had to end on a sad note, I was glad and a bit surprised because I didn't hear any boos or jeers from the crowd. Everyone was very understanding. We were one in saying, though indirectly, that Ely's health is far more important than getting our (full) money's worth. But come to think of it, we did get more than our money's worth already. I, personally, didn't feel like I was short-changed. Come on, 15 songs pare! Magrereklamo ka pa ba nun?!? Naman, naman.

O sige, at one point, you'd feel bitin. Bitin in the sense that I didn't want them to stop playing. It's not like they planned to cut the concert short, that it was intentional. Remember, it was just supposed to be a 20-minute break. They were to play 15 more songs. It wasn't the band's fault that it had to end that way, nor Ely's. And 15 songs is 15 songs! Super sulit parin.

I've read insensitive remarks and heard negative comments about the concert and the members of the band. I choose to not dwell on those. I know better. And oh yeah, I am still overwhelmed by the whole experience. :) I won't let any guy/girl, I don't even know, ruin that for me. Belat nyo. :P

This early, there have been talks about a part 2. It will have to wait. The most important thing right now is for Ely to recover fully. We all don't want him to go under the knife again, do we?

Let me end this post by giving thanks to the following:

1. Marlboro/Philip Morris (which is quite ironic, because I don't smoke and I hate cigarettes, "irresponsible smokers," if there's such a thing, etc.)

2. Sony-BMG/Radiohead Productions (for taking over PM)

3. The Fans (if not for our endless pangungulit for a reunion, malamang walang one-night reunion concert)

4. And of course, Eraserheads, the band, itself.

To Ely, Raimund, Buddy and Markus, thank you so much for setting aside your differences and for giving us a one helluva show. It was definitely a night I will never forget. :)
