An Eraserheads reunion concert after 2009 once felt impossible. And then it happened.
The legendary OPM band of Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala, and Marcus Adoro took the stage at the SMDC Festival Grounds for a one-night-only show on Thursday.
The show opened with an introductory video and countdown showing old footage from Quezon City and UP, places the band has made their own. “Cutterpillow” did not end with the original final song. Instead, Ely took off his leather jacket, threw it to a lucky fan, and then sang “Feel Her” solo on stage with his acoustic guitar. Once again, he let fans sing the whole of the second verse.Opening act and DJ duo The Diegos took the stage again, playing a mix of disco, hip-hop, rock, and every genre in between.
And then they got serious. Buddy introduced frequent collaborator Mel Villena, the stage opened up to the 18-piece Asosasyon ng Musikang Pilipino or AMP Orchestra conducted by Maestro Mel, and they went on to play the much-awaited song for the night “Lightyears," which the Eheads, prior to the concert, revealed it was their new favorite song.
Continuing the sentimental mood, Ely said, “You have all inspired us during the darkest times of the pandemic. And we’re very honored that this song was chosen as an inspiration for everyone.”They then performed everyone’s comfort song “With a Smile,” with an extended outro and quickly flipped the mood with a raging “Insomnya.”
It was Ely who first returned on stage for the third and final part of the show. He’s got his acoustic guitar once more, played some chords, and teased the crowd with the intro to “More than Words.”
