EHEADS Reunion Concert [just my thoughts..]

I was reading one of the blogs of an e-heads fan..

And I have to agree.. You almost missed half of your life if hindi kayo nagpunta sa reunion concert. Damn, the best talaga si Ely. And there was a comment on her blog, there's youtube. Hmmm.. I may agree that a quarter lang hindi half, but still, the feeling of singing their songs live together with Ely and just loving Raimund beating those drums? OMG, that's heaven. And just the thought of you are just a couple of meters away from the real thing. It's an open ground thing and I admit, I've never felt the pain in my feet ever before from standing for hours but I don't mind. I can see before my eyes, the band who started all OPM bands. 8pm ang official na start ng concert..

Nandun na kami ng 5:30pm and tama ako, late na un. Kumain pa kami sa market market dahil bawal ang food sa loob. Divided into 3 un open field, VIP, Patron at Gen. Admission. Sa patron kami. Almost 7pm na kami nakapasok sa dami ng tao at sa higpit ng security. Nakakita kami ng magandang place sa harap, ayun, medyo mainit sa dami ng tao pero wala yun. Nakakaexcite pa rin ang makitang kumanta sa harap namin c Ely.

At nagsimula na nga, countdown started at 10:00 minutes. Naghiyawan ang mga tao. Kahit ako napatigil sa pagpaypay at kinuhaan ko ng video ung countdown. Biglang nabuhay ang audience at tuwing bababa ng 1minute ung timer, they scream in excitement. :) ang saya. Di ko inakala na ganun katagal at kabilis ang 10 minutes.

It was now down to 10, 9, 8 ... 2 , 1. Dumilim. Lumabas sa screen ng stage, Eraserheads at biglang lumiwanag. Ayun na c Ely, nakapolo na white at nakashades, may guitar. At c Raimund! Na naka-Nike na shirt at green hair with Buddy and Marcus.

Lahat ng tao sumisigaw na. Sabay nag-intro na ang Alapaap. Ang nakakatawa, laging ang song na yun ang una kong naririnig, kahit sa mp3 player ko, yun ang una sa mga kanta ng eheads. Grabeeee. Sobrang saya ng pakiramdam. Alapaap pa lang yun na snundan ng fireworks pagkatapos.. At Ligaya. At di ko na matandaan ng maayos ung pagkakasunod sunod ng mga kanta. Pero masaya yung intro ng Toyang, sabi ni Ely, para daw yun sa mga inlove. "They try to tell us we're too old.." Hahaha. Namimiss ko tuloy si Ely kahit di kami close. Pati si Raimuund, ang panoorin siyang nakangiti at bigay na bigay sa pagbeat ng drums, at tumayo tuwing pagkatapos ng song.

Parang at that moment, nainlove ako sa drummer ng eheads. :) kahit kasama ko BF ko. We sang along to Sembreak, Hey Jay, Toyang, Kailan, Harana, Huwag Mo Nang Itanong, Huwag Kang Matakot, Kamasupra, With a Smile, Shake Yer Head, Kaliwete, Fruitcake, and Lightyears.

...

And the sad part, after they had sang Lightyears, napaupo c Ely sa stage, I dont know if that was a part of the concert or not, but what happened is that, they all took a 20-minute break. And the countdown timer started. I was craving for a bottle of water but I can't lose my position in the field, so I hang on.

But it's already passed 30minutes and yet they are not back on stage. Then, I saw Buddy and Raimund and Marco and a lady, whom Buddy introduced as Ely's sister Lally who delivered the audience what has to be known. They had to cut the concert short because of Ely's condition. Nobody in the audience had any violent reactions. All we did was pray for Ely's health.

Like what they all said, it maybe short and played only half of their intended playlist but it is so worth it. I may not be able to hear my favorite song, Ang Huling El Bimbo, but from what I heard after 2 days, there will be a next time and I will surely not miss it.

I can still hear all of those people beside us screaming "group hug", "usap naman" and "bati na kayo" in between songs.. And I am looking forward to hearing it again. :)
