Eraserheads Reunion Concert

[flakez]

Given Ely's condition, I don't think fans will be clamoring for a refund, but if he's up to another gig, the Concert Organizers could hold a re-take for ticket holders.

A triple bypass is bad, but other rockers have had heart attacks and heart surgeries and have still lived to "rock on"... it's just in how well you take care of yourself and your general fitness level... I think Ely was just pushing himself too hard... fatigue, dehydration (he really should stick to three or four song sets), etcetera... can take its toll.

they should have cancelled the show after his mother died. sobrang stressful yun tapos ganon pa health niya. i'm sure maiintindihan ng fans yun. well siguro prepared na din kasi. pinilit na lang talaga para hindi sayang preparations.

Bale 30 songs pala dapat ang kakantahin nila that night. 15 sa 1st half, 15 din sa 2nd half.

Sa dami nyan, mapapagod nga si Ely B.

Ely Buendia undergoes angioplasty; 2nd since 2007 heart attack

The manager of Ely Buendia confirmed Monday that the former Eraserheads frontman underwent another angioplasty procedure Monday morning following the band's Saturday reunion concert that was cut short by his hospitalization.

Day Cabuhat, who manages Buendia and his current band Pupil, confirmed that the singer underwent heart surgery earlier in the day. Cabuhat said that the blood vessel that was operated upon is now "100 percent fully restored". She said Buendia is recovering.

An official statement from Radio Head Media Solutions, the producer of the Eraserheads reunion concert, meanwhile, said the band vocalist suffered from "extreme exhaustion" Saturday night. It said Buendia is in "stable condition but still under observation."

On Sunday, record label Sony BMG, told ABS-CBN News that Buendia suffered from hypokalemia, a medical condition in which the concentration of potassium in the blood is low. He was administered with a potassium intravenous fluid for the said condition, the record label added.

Buendia experienced chest pains and reportedly collapsed backstage after the first set of the long-awaited reunion concert, held at the Fort Bonifacio Open Field in Taguig City.

He was transferred to the Philippine Heart Center (PHC) around 1 a.m. Sunday after being treated at the Makati Medical Center's emergency room.

The concert was cut short because of the emergency, While Buendia was being rushed to the hospital, his former bandmates Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro, accompanied by his sister Lally, relayed the unfortunate incident to the fans at the concert.

Buendia, 37, had a previous heart attack in January 2007. He previously underwent two angioplasty procedures (a surgical operation where narrowed or blocked arteries are widened) at the PHC after doctors found at least two blockages in his arteries.

Doctors said the singer has a history of heart disease in his family and was genetically predisposed to it.

sana maka recover kagad si ely.

nakuha ko lang sa ibang forums. eto yung planned ending ng concert

the second set, the band was to sing ten more songs, in this order:1. Maskara
2. Poor Man's Grave
3. Torpedo
4. Trip to Jerusalem
5. Back To Me
6. walang Nagbago
7. Maling Akala
8. Tikman
9. Spoliarium
10.Magasin When Magasin was to be played, the screen behind them would have montages of various news and magazine clippings of them. It would flash alternately with shots of the band and audience until the song reached the coda where Ely sings "...ay centerfold ka naaaa...woo hoo-hoo, haaa-haaa" part of the song. Then there would be fire works and a fountain of sparks, going on til the last note of the song. Then the hydraulic stage would be lowered and the band would make a "fake ending". The lights would then go out. My sister said the band would wait til the crowd chanted "more". "It would take two beers' worth of chanting "more" she said. Then in the darkness, a very dramatic keyboard solo would be heard, and it would be the opening chords of Para Sa Masa. The hydraulic stage would rise again and there they would be. After Para Sa Masa, they'd switch into Overdrive. With the crowd pumped within an inch of insanity they were to hit us with Pare Ko. And then we would slow down and reminisce with Minsan. Finally, they would perform Huling El Bimbo. Again, after the last refrain, at the coda (la la la laaa...) the grand fireworks display would go off, fountains of light surrounding the stage. The next la-la-la parts would see fireworks from behind the general admissions section, and as the song ended there would be a burst of confetti all over the audience. Then the hydraulic stage would be lowered for the final exit. Those were the plans for the Ultraelectromagneti c night. It may not have happened as planned but at least we knew they were going to give us a show we would never forget!We asked my sister if the band knew about all these plans and she said they did. In fact they were so excited about all the gimmicks and couldn't wait to party with the audience. "Nag-usap pa nga sila kung may mga kailangang saluhin na kanta just in case (di na kaya ni Ely)," she said. "And Ely said, hindi, Kakanta ako

sobra lupet ng ending!!! sayang kung natuloy! binabasa ko lang ang lupit na pano pa kaya kung natuloy yan.

sana magkaron talaga ng part 2.

[BoyL3]

Matatapos dapat ang second set na 10 songs lang.
sa Magasin. Tapos fake ending. Hydraulics down. Light out.

Crowd goes "More! More! Eheads! Eheads"

Then, enter intro ng Para Sa Masa.
Lights go back. Hydraulics up.

Then Overdrive, Pare Ko, Minsan.

At ang grand finale.
Huling El Bimbo.

Sa part na lalalala, hanggang matapos.

Nasa "Alapaap" pa rin ako. May susunod pa sana. Hihintayin ko ang Huling El Bimbo na magpapaluha sa atin sa tuwa.

Ganda ng "ending" na plano nila. Paano kaya kung natuloy iyan? Ano ang mangyayari?

Sa ngayon, iPod mode muna.
