The historic performance of Eraserheads, the country’s biggest band in the 90s that drew in more than 50,000 people at The Fort Bonifacio Open Field on Aug. 30, 2008, will be shown in movie theaters starting Nov. 26 simultaneously nationwide.
It shall go down local music history as that singular moment where four estranged band members - Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro - came together for one spectacular reunion - 08.30.08. One band. One great show. One night only.
Eraserheads is again about to make history as the only OPM band to immortalize their performance on the big screen, a feat never before achieved by any local band or artist.
The soundtrack of the film, brought to us by Sony BMG Music Entertainment, is already available at all record outlets nationwide.
“Eraserheads Reunion Concert: The Movie” is being presented by Smart Buddy and is guaranteed to relive the glorious moments of Aug. 30, starting with the countdown to signal the beginning of the show, until it was unexpectedly cut short due to Ely’s failing health.
The band failed to come back on stage after the 15-minute intermission preceding the first set after Ely was rushed to the hospital for extreme chest pains.
It will be remembered that Ely was under a lot of pressure at the time of the concert’s staging. His Mom Lizette Buendia passed away two days before the show.
The crowd’s extraordinary display of understanding and support to the band was also caught on video. No one displayed any violent reaction, which is common to rock concerts the world over, but instead, the crowd offered prayers, and respectful applause when the show’s cancellation was announced.
But given all that transpired, “Eraserheads: Reunion Concert” boasts of outstanding production value. The state-of-the-art sounds, lights, and stage. The audience that night were so thrilled to find themselves drowned out by the outstanding display of lights and fireworks. It was truly a magnificent event.
All these, plus the thousands of adoring fans caught on camera, will be relived all over again in “Eraserheads: The Reunion Concert” on the big screen starting Nov. 26 at your favorite movie houses. Don’t fail to catch it!
