E-heads night

though there has been some downfall…it was still all worth it…

as my first open-field concert, it was too overwhelming for me to see the collage of the E-heads old photos and videos while they sang Alapaap.

The crowd, a blend of different generations (from the former college/high school students who attended their past gigs to kids who were not even born in that era), embarked on that familiar atmosphere that e-heads brought years ago.

We did not mind the long wait after the break because people were battling for water and me and my friends were happily camping on the Fort’s ground. Then, we were stunned, shocked… the moment Ely Buendia’s sister made the announcement. I thought, they’re just going to give a message to the fans but that wasn’t the case…

Though disappointed and ‘bitin’, whatever people are thinking, all of us engaged in the 1-minute silent prayer. People slowly walked out of the venue, most with slumped shoulders and some - just like us - went near the stage to take a moment, by staring at the deserted instruments.

The historical event passed us by like a hurricane…to the point of questioning: "Did it really happen?"

I don’t want a refund and I’m sure all of the people who went there does not want that either.

As a consumer speaking and as a fan, I hope that when everything has been better for each member of the band (emotionally & physically)…they’ll take the stage once again and play and have one hell of a fucking great time with the people.

Reading the messages that members of the E-heads posted from various yahoogroups, it gave great relief that they’re REALLY COOL with each other. I think that’s the most satisfying thought.

I’m proud to be part of one historic event and I hope I can be part of the second one (ifever!)

To Ely Buendia (you should be knighted for your talents! You, Buddy, Marcus and Raimund) please be well…many coming generations would still want to see you reunited again and again….

the question is: is there anyone, in today’s era of OPM can do what E-Heads have done?

I hope so, so that the kids of today can have something to look forward to.
