the final set

Eraserheads Live! The Final Set Concert happened last March 7, 2009 at the SM Mall of Asia concert Grounds. Before this date, I really wanted to watch this event because I know this will be one of the most memorable concerts of all time. I know I have the budget to buy tickets because I can always dip from my savings...hehe, but the problem was I had no one to watch the concert with. My friends didn't like it when I invited them to watch a month earlier and so I accepted the fact that I'll let this historical concert pass once again, just like the Eraserheads Reunion Concert last year.

Good things really come unexpectedly. On March 6, a day before the concert, Imah called me and asked if I wanted to wathc the concert. I immediately said yes! She got 2 complementary tickets to the concert. It was not just the ordinary ticket, it was the gold VIP ticket!!! I was so excited to go but I realize that something will go wrong because this is just to good to be true (this the negative side of me..hehe).

The next day, Imah called early to tell me she won't be going because she learned that it was an open ground concert and no seats will be available. She just gave me the tickets and ask if I could ask anyone else to come with me. Good thing Leica was in the mood to go out that day and I felt relieved that I won't have to watch the concert alone. The event lasted for 3hrs but it still feels like it's not enough because everyone knows that the band will never play together again.

I don't have a single album of this band. I didn't even know them when they started back in 1992. I already learned about thier music 4 years after. What is good about the band's songs, is its simple meaning, the everyday stories of common people, and the beat of song that is not hard to follow or sing along with.

The concert will always be a reminder that all good things must come to an end.
