after the first set i was so hyped. i went looking for buddy to check
up on him cos his bass effects was malfunctioning.

i found him coming out of ely’s tent and said ely was rushed to the
hospital. we were all stunned and after a quick production meeting and
meeting with his family we had to announce that the concert had to be
cut short.

we prepared 3 sets. the first was just a warm up. the remaining two
was going to be the fun part.

there was more videos and light shows and pyro in store for everyone.

after getting fans family and friends safely out of the venue maps and
i headed over to saguijo bar to meet sandwich pedicab cambio and some
friends to hang.

after a few beers buddy arrives so we decided to play the second set
on borrowed equipment. thanx to mark maya for the stix. we had a
little help from ebe, kris, vin, aia and tani. by the time we were
playing el bimbo marcus shows up so he got to play also.

i guess we just did not want to go home to our posh hotel rooms all
down and defeated. i’m thankful we have great friends to support us,
cheer us up when we’re sad, pick us up when we’re down.

here’s my new motto

drum now ask questions later

"They could’ve just stood there, and it wouldn’t have mattered." How true. And you probably did not hear but at the back, when advised to go to the nearest exit as the concert would have to be cut short because of what happened to Ely, instead of complaining, people clapped, thankful for the glorious fifteen songs sung to them. It said a lot about Eraserheads fans. I'm proud to be one of them. I would’ve paid more for less. “They could’ve just stood there, and it wouldn’t have mattered.” How true.

It's interesting you wrote "Ten years ago, that news would’ve been greeted with boos, mineral water bottles would’ve been launched (they were not allowed into the venue), and good luck getting out of there." because my first question to all concert attendees when I found out it was cut short was ... "Did people boo?" Great heartfelt account of the events … thanks for posting your thoughts on this since I wasn’t able to attend the concert myself.

Come on, Jessica. You too? We can do without the qualification "of the 90s". Let's all be honest, what the hell is wrong with "ever"? PS. You forgot "Lightyears". “…to see the biggest, most important Filipino band of the 90s.”

There were douches in the patron section who were chanting for a refund. They were probably the same ones snorting mary jane before the concert started. Thankfully, most of the crod was classy enough to stay silent. The actions of the majority were commendable. The actions of those select few? Not so much. I wouldn’t say that there were NO boos.

I am really proud of our generation. After the announcement, no boos, no expletives were heard in the air. It was just quiet resignation and breathless shock. I am listening to "Hard to Believe" right now and thinking, please let there be reunion part 2. I definitely sensed that he was tired, but the crowd urged and tired so hard to transfer their electrifying energy to him. And I loved every minute of it. Here's to hoping for Ely's recovery..physically and emotionally. Same thing occurred to me. I am really proud of our generation. After the announcement, no boos, no expletives were heard in the air.

Thank you so much for the update/news/blog. I was literally crying when I was reading your blog. I truly wish I was there. I'm here on the ship cooking for 2500 guests while singing the Eheads hits and I played all their songs on my friend's Ipod all night long. A simple tribute. LONG LIVE THE EHEADS!!!! Hey Jessica!

Truly, Eraserheads is THE BAND of the 90's. (Kahit iyong mga emo/punk kids na hindi ko inaasahang makita ay nasa labas ng field at nagtatiyaga manood with their cool, ukay-ukay, black attire). I hope there'll be another "reunion." (and what's the english of bitin?) BITIN! *it's good to hear Ely is doing fine. I've been hearing from gossips that he undergone a Triple By-pass surgery.
