dear everybody

 

before anything. i just spoke to day cabuhat. and she informed me that

ely's condition is now stable. and they're very thankful for all your

concern.

 

thank you very much for coming t the show. we really felt the cheering

and the singing and the love you all gave.

 

thank you for understanding that the show had to be cut short.

 

ely was in no condition (emotionally, physically) to play but he did.

and he gave it his all which is more than we could ask from him. given

the circumstances he was in.

 

we all wish him well. we are all confident that he will recover soon.

 

i promise to give you another eraserheads show as soon as possible.

 

again thank you very much

Raymund Marasigan himself gave his account of those moments, posting on the Subsandwich list:

 

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

Raymund : This is not the last, this is just the first. We promise to do it again

Marcus : Di niyo pa nakikita.

Raymund :We were just in the middle of the set

Raymund : Nag eenjoy siya eh, medyo pinapawisan siya (Si Ely) nagkakatinginnan kami kala ko kasi mainit lang, it was hot on stage

Markus : Grabe

Marcus: Dami ng tao, grabe ung fans

Raymund : The second set was better, and the third set was better than the second

Markus : Excited ako sa second set

May plan daw na irelease sa DVD ang The Reunion Concert. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Bibili ako nito. :thumbsupsmiley:

[horhe12345]

nice!! can't wait. sobrang bitin nung saturday.

[ayatolah]

guys...next concert nila...help me naman makakuha ng vip pass o pls hehehe....tnx...

[impeached]

They just showed that they are indeed, the greatest OPM band ever.

[SoulMTC]

Was there nung saturday... One thing na napansin ko is that Eheads transcend generations...Yung pips na nasa harapan namin were like us the 90's babies 25-30ish yuppies.. sa right side 4 pairs of mga 40's pips... sa left a family of 6 mom and pops na 40ish.. oldest siguro nila nasa early 20's ung bunso siguro nila was 13 or 14 na gal... and kids were really singing the songs.. grabe pang pamilya din..

 

 

I also commend the crowd... after the bad news wala talaga violent reaction (though there were konting rumblings ung mga bitin talaga at ung mga naghihintay ng mga fave songs nila). Everybody respected the band so much na di nagkagulo to think of it na madami sa tao sa crowd ang nagsacrifice just to watch them. Pag sa ibang instances batuhan na yan gulo na for sure...

 

Basta ako i enjoyed the 15 songs they played thanks at they played lightyears ... when shake your head was played pikit mata akong nagreminisce ng highskul and college days... sarap sarap ...

 

salamat eheads... hope you will finish what you started..

It's heartwarming to know that somehow, Ely and Raims have found a way to bury the hatchet. Here's Raims on a post in the <s>andwich list:

to whom it may concern

 

i dont usually rant but ive been hearing reports about people

questioning why we played saguijo after the concert.

 

first things first. when marlboro pulled out and cancelled the show a

week ago, the band was free of all obligation to play the show. if it

was about the money we could have just walked away fully paid no

explanations to the press or anybody. free from the contract. the band

decided to play nevertheless. the tickets and the prices was for the

new promoters to buy out the production from philip morris to put it

simply. contrary to what some people think it takes money to stage a

concert. stage, lights, and video screens don't magically grow out of

the ground. that's what the ticket prices were for. the band was not

in the negotiation meetings between the the two promoters and we did

not want to be in the meetings.

 

personally i said just call me cos i'm ready to rock. no extra pay no

contract negotiations. as far as the eheads was concerned were out of

the contract.

 

but here's what you dont understand. playing music is what we do. we

play when we're happy, play when we're sad, play when we're angry,

play when we're sick, play til we die.

 

painters paint, writers write, my skateboarding friends skate or die.

when u ask nba superstars what they do in their spare time. they play

basketball.

us musicians, we play. thats what we do. getting paid is a bonus. i

will not apologize for that. when we don't get paid we still play.

 

we played saguijo because we wanted to, we needed to. our hearts and

souls dictated it. we could just go home and sleep. we did not talk

about it. there was no invites there was no plan. we did not get paid.

we borrowed equipment.

 

yes ely knew about it. buddy told him the next day. yes pupil was in

saguijo too.

 

yes marcus buddy and i have lost a parent. we know how it feels.

 

ive been playing music for more than 30 years. professionally since

1993.there have been a few times when it was me who was unable to

continue the set due to illness. albeit it was a lesser scale and

(thankfully) never reported. it was nonetheless life threatening. ive

had a run in with losing my voice, food poisoning, diarreah

(embarassing) and a few more i do not care to mention that involved

blood and bones. i had to drop out of the set from the eheads, cambio

and sandwich. thankfully there was always someone there to finish the

set for me. and i am thankful that they were there. i did not feel

bad. ive also saved a few shows from other bands when **** happens. we

dont plan this and we dont complain but we still play.

 

my bmx friends ride with broken bones.

 

if we finished the eheads show that night you would STILL have found

us in guijo playing after.

 

yes i visited ely in the hospital yesterday. i hope he recovers soon.

we have a show to finish.

 

music is life

ill only stop playing when i die.

I just hope na gumaling na si idol ely.

 

At next time na magcoconcert sila dapat siguro nakaupo nalang sa chair si ely at dapat ang stage may mga naka set up na evaporative airconditioner para naman hindi masyado mainitan ang eheads. sabi nila buddy at rayms naka ilang tungga sila ng mineral water kasi sobrang init sa stage.

[chicboy18]

Sayang!!! I was really waiting for them to sing "Minsan". The song "Minsan" will really suit them coz of the breakup.

 

sana'y huwag kalimutan ang ating mga pinagsamahan

at kung sakaling gipitin ay laging iisipin

na minsan tayo ay naging

tunay na magkaibigan

"Minsan" was supposed to be included in the 2nd set.

Malamang lahat na ng tao sisigaw na ng "group hug!" pagkatapos nyan!

Hehehe

 

I'm really hoping for a 2nd concert! Dumaan kasi kami sa Saguijo after the concert, pero naabutan na lang namin last two songs ng impromptu jamming ng newer+original eraserheads (Kris Gorra + Ebe Dancel + the other 3 E-heads). Magaling talaga kumanta si Ebe, pero siyempre iba pa rin boses ni Ely. Lalung-lalo na nung kinanta nila yung "Huling El Bimbo". Daming taong napaluha habang kumakanta nun!

 

(Sigh).

 

Kung di kaya mag concert, sana magrecord ulit sila ng bagong versions ng mga kanta nila. Gawa sila ng "Best of" album, pero puro bagong versions ng older songs nila.

make no mistake. i'm not shoving my music to everybody. in fact my

neighbors are probably tired of it haha. some of my closest friends

and family have no desire to listen to it. my daughter didn't even

know who the eraserheads were when teachers were asking about reunion

rumors. as far as she knows, the good thing about that big show was

trashing my hotel room with buddy and marcus' kids, the big swimming

pool and the air conditioned tents backstage.

 

if you like what you hear , thank you. if you don't, feel free to try

something else. i don't like anchovies myself.

 

i was admittedly hesitant about the first reunion. i was not sure if i

could handle the pressure and crap that came with it.

 

at this very moment. i'm actually thinking of doing it again. (when

ely gets well and strong of course)

 

i watched a kid fall after trying to kick flip a 7 step stairway in

u.p. he failed 5 times. but kept getting up. dusted himself . made

some adjustments until he finally nailed it. we all cheered and went

home smiling.

 

somehow i know how it feels.
