Yeah, it was supposedly a highlight but personally, I think it was a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I greatly admire Eli's songwriting and the band's contribution to our history but...just look at Eli's performance. He was either trying to look so cool or he was bored to death. Tinatamad kumanta and parang pinaglalaruan lang. Walking around the stage, sitting on the edge..There was a song that actually ended and he kept on singing then sabi nya "tapos na pala"? I think I saw it on raymund's face as he was playing..he seemed pissed.
If you're gonna do it for the last time and you know all eyes are on you, shouldn't you go "with a bang", sort of? It may have been better on the venue but the sound on TV was bad. The guitars sounded too shrill--plus out of tune sometimes. Sorry to say but up to now many of our sound engineers still can't mix properly. I hope they get it right if they're gonna sell DVDs or CDs of the show.
Even if your songs are legendary, you ought to give to your fans what they deserve, a great show by real professionals. Also, pano kung di pala ako eheads fan or I'm seeing them perform for the first time..I don't think I'd be too impressed.
Or maybe Eli was too affected by Francis' death na nawalan sya ng gana...maybe. (my apologies) But still...
I just had to say my opinion because i feel that a lot of bands are struggling for recognition and respect. ( I should know coz I had been active in bands before). But to get that recognition and respect, we have to earn it. By doing a good show everytime.
