i'm currently watching the tv version of the latest Eraserheads concert 2 mos ago at MOA. If you asked me whether I was able to watch it, well... NO! i was supposed to be pregnant during that time. oh well...
Anyways, oh MAN! it brought back great memories during my sophomore year in high school at St. Paul. You see, once upon a time, THE Eraserheads was invited to have a gig. I still can remember how close I was sitted to the band during that time. I must have been like less than 10 meters away from them. To those who are familiar with St Paul Pque's gym, you know what I mean ;) To others, it's not exactly your average kind of gym, it is small actually. Ewan ko lang ngayon kung kaya pa ganun kalapit from the band =). So, back to my kwento... before the gig even started, we were screaming our heads off na while they were doing set-ups on the stage and fine tuning their instruments. I think during that time they were still starting out and just released their first album pa lang. I still have a copy of their first album in casette tape! hehehe! I even started learning how to play the guitar para I can play their songs! =) Again, back to my story... a couple of boys from St. Andrew's (a then, all boy's school across the street), were getting rowdy, doing piggy-backs pa tapos opening up their lighters. We were sooo uncontrollable eh during that time pa, our school directress was very strict! As in, verrryyyy strict! So, what she did was, she went up the stage and just stand there. After awhile, she took the mic and scolded everyone of us. She even threatened to cancel the whole gig if we don't behave. The whole crowd was stunned! So, what happened after that??? Since we were just little girls and boys back then, we toned down and afterawhile, the whole gym literally fell silent. The only remaining sound was from Ely's guitar. You see, he was tuning his guitar while we were being scolded. =) Our School Directress was probably really mad at us, she told Ely, "STOP THAT!", in a very stern and irritated voice. HAHAHAHA!! =) At eto pa, Ely did stop and just stood their looking at us! Teehee!! =) I felt so amused and embarrassed at the same time.

Now, if you want to ask if the gig continued? Fortunately, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was really great! We were singing along with them and memorize ko pa talaga lahat ng songs nila. =)
The E-heads has really come a long way. From being a "one-of-those bands" to a "now legendary Filipino band of all-time". I am happy that I was a part of it, at least, somehow... =)
