After posting my semi-rant on my failure to watch the Eheads concert last Saturday, I cold not help but post my thoughts on what happened, now that Ely is in the hospital recovering from his 4th angioplasty surgery, and the 15-song 1st set that the band delivered.
I still feel bad that I was not there last Saturday. My brother was telling me that the crowd situation was not all that bad. I could have just stayed daw in the vicinity in the comforts of my car and still enjoy that concert. But, of course, I would only be able to hear them, not watch them.
My college friends were also able to watch. They have posted their pictures in our egroups and it brought a smile to my face seeing them together and enjoying the concert. But, of course, they all look more like yuppies from Makati and Ortigas rather than college students in UP. So much has changed.
On TV, there were even some bisdaks (guys from the visayas) who flew in just to watch the concert. Kakainggit talaga! Hmp!
Right now, rather than pray for a reunion concert part 2, I am praying for ely buendia's safe recovery. Before anything else, kahit sabi ng marami mayabang siya, there would not be a reunion concert without Eraserheads front man, Ely Buendia. I remember watching an Eraserheads gig right after Ely left and he was replaced with that girl from Fatal Posporos, (sorry, I forgot her name -- too tamad to look it up in google :-) it just did not have the same magic. It felt different. So, I know it has to be all four of them or its not Eraserheads at all.
But, I guess, if I was there, I would not be disappointed at all even if they just played 15 songs. Actually sanay ako na matipid sila sa kanta. I remember attending numerous Eraserhead concerts where the front acts had more stage-time than the Eraserheads. They would usually just be on stage for an hour singing about, yes, 15 songs. So, although it would be really disappointing knowing that I could have heard 15 more songs, I think I would have understood.
As Ligaya is playing on the background, I hope and pray that they decide to come together again and make us go back to that innocence that we once had as youths. For now, I'll indulge myself in listening to their songs and sipping white coffee mocha (salamat Aben -- hehehe.)

Ely Buendia is cool! The e!Heads are cool! They made it cool to wear simple, be simple and be rockin' cool! They don't entertain onstage, but which band that really entertain onstage is really comes close to being as memorable as the 'heads?
BTW, as i read this blog entry, i am listening to select e!Heads music on my Nokia 5300, kakapsok ko pa lang sa work and brwsin' the net on a terminal na outta sight ng security monitors. Ha!
Miss ya Peach...and have ya listened to the background audio sa Friendster account na idea mo? (japs). We're there singin' an e!Heads hit with Vic on guitars.
CONGRATS on your baby. And remember, Erwin is a cool name for a boy, it starts with an 'E' like 'Ely', hehehe
Er
Oo naman no doubt about it E-heads rock! Hi Ate peach!
15 song aint bad. they played lightyears kaya sulit na sulit.
hope they have a part 2. the dawn had a reunion concert after the breakup and well look at them now - there have been changes in the line up but they are still going at it, even made a nice film together.
well if they ever decide to have a part two wouldn't be great if they start the concert with the song minsan
"minsan sa may kalayaan tayo'y nagkatagpuan may mga sariling gimik at kaya-kanyang hangad sa buhay...
...at kung sakaling gipitin ay laging iisipin na minsan tayo ay naging tunay na magkaibigan"
and end the concert with sino sa atin
"nong nangyari dito sino sa atin ang nagbago maglakbay sa simula balikan natin ang dating mundo"
btw the girl from fatal posporos is kris dancel also the lead vocals of cambio.
