Eraserheads Reunion Concert - Final Set

I've been too lazy updating this blog. That's pretty much the reason why this post came out well after the event. Here's my story that night:

We arrived late. There's a very, very, heavy traffic around SM Mall of Asia when we got there, and we managed to park beside SMX. When I saw that the concert had started, I split up with my sister to find my friends, Maruel and Tibs (with Alex). The cellphone reception was so bad that I wasn't able to contact them. I decided to go back and join my sister, but I can't contact her either.

I ended up watching it alone feeling sadly stupid. The good thing is that I got a very nice spot at the back of the silver area, with a nice view of the stage (but I can't see the Marcus from there), and five projectors. There were a very few people in that area so I was watching with the nice breeze from the Manila bay instead of a crowd.

I'm not going to make a blow-by-blow post about what happened. Here are some points that I just want to share:

1. Marcus's Hello Kitty guitar and reggae rendition of "Huwag mo nang Itanong" were brilliant.
2. I wish that other people knew "Alkohol" and "Insomnia" so that the crowd would have sang along with Raimund.
3. The aucustic set was really, really nice.
4. When Anne Curtis saw herself at the projector, she tried to sing the lyrics ending up with "burger, fries, tapsilog, at SIAPAO" on the song, "Overdrive."
   
5. The fake ending was kinda lame. Everyone knew that it wasn't over until "Ang Huling El Bimbo" was played.
6. Near the end of "Superproxy," a girl next to me said: "Oh my God, he did Francis M's rap." Hindi kaya. Sa original kaya yun.
   
7. I thought "Ako ngayo'y lumilipad at nasa langit na" was a tribute to Kiko, but it was immediately followed by "Gusto mo bang sumama?" making me say aloud, "Ay, hindi."
   
8. Best. Alapaap. Version. EVER.
9. Kaleidoscope World chorus feels very short for a Francis M tribute...
10. but hearing El Bimbo right after made me forget everything. Nostalgia.
11. Sticker Happy piano (looks like it, without most of the stickers) was burned. Sad.
12. Hoping for a miracle that was answered: an encore.
13. Another girl beside me asked her friend what the title of "Ligaya" was. He answered: "Ilang ulit pa ba ang uulitin." Uhhh... Okay.
    
14. Ely skipped a part on "Sembreak."
15. Tim Yap attempted to sing "Toyang." The "BOOOOOOO!!!" he got from everybody was enough humiliation for a lifetime.

Overall, the concert was well worth it. Long live Eheads.
