Finally. After being deprived of watching their first concert way back in August because of a mosquito bite.. I finally had a chance to watch probably the most beloved band in Philippine Music history ever live. And it was worth all the wait.
To put it like a mastercard commercial..
A Silver - A access to watch the E-heads concert - 1300 Pesos
All my expenses in transpo, food and all that jazz - 500 Pesos
Watching your favorite band perform for one last time - PRICELESS
Yes, that's what it was.. the experience of watching them perform almost 80% of their songs is priceless and I would never trade it for anything in the world.
Show started at about 8:30 PM with a very good video of the history of the heads, from their humble beginning to them winning in MTV's Video Music Awards (BOGCHI!!) to their break up.
After the countdown from Z to E, the much awaited re-reunion concert of the band started. They opened with the song Magasin and fun started from then on, Markus had his moment with his own version of Wag mo nang itanong and Raymund had his with Alcohol.. the first set ended with the song Torpedo.
The second set opened with them on a lounge-like set as they did acoustic numbers (Which included WISHING WELL!) which eventually led to the piano version of Kailan, with Itchyworm's Jazz Nicholas on Keyboards. The set ended with them singing Overdrive.
Third set started and it was prolly the most emotional set of them all. The Francis M tribute with Superproxy and Kalaidoscope World (And about a hundred thousand people, including me, screaming FRANCIS! FRANCIS! FRANCIS!) and of course, Minsan. A song that.. could be perfect for the band right now. The show WAS supposed to end with Ang Huling El Bimbo (AND THE BURNING PIANO ELY PLAYED WITH) but as soon as before everyone was out, Raymund returned to the stage and the band played three more songs (Ligaya, Sembreak and Toyang) leaving every fan who attended the concert.. WITH A SMILE on their face.
