I was browsing the internet and the blogosphere until I stumbled upon an interesting post that is somewhat asking the reader to “connect the dots” and analyze recent rumors on the upcoming reunion concert of the very popular pinoy band “The Eraserheads”.

As it turns out, it’s no rumor after all. According to reliable sources, the Eraserheads will be performing in a one-night only event as part of the Marlboro Red Nation promotions which has been running for the past two years for adult smokers. The event will be held on August 30 at the Bonifacio Global City open grounds in Taguig City. Access to the event is age-restricted, strictly by invitation only, and is intended for members of Philip Morris Philippines’ adult smokers’ database, trade and business partners. and selected adult guests.

It was said that Philip Morris is ripping off approximately 10 million pesos in talent fees for the band to do a 45-minute performance. 45 minutes, that suddenly made my mind running. It is enough to play 9 songs (maybe 10 if they do an encore). Surely, they would be playing their huge hits. But the thing is they have so many, which brings us to the question, “Which among those numerous hits will they play?” Here are my thoughts:

1. “Ang Huling El Bimbo”
This would definitely the first choice for the opening song. It maybe very much overused, but still for me it’s their biggest hit.

2. “Torpedo”
Another really overused classic. But as one of my favorites, they just have to play it, at least I can dream about it.

3. “Overdrive”
This is pretty much a must-sing in the concert. For me, the song is very unique in its very own way.

4. “Magasin”
Possibly the best-written Eraserheads song ever; the punchline towards the end is second to none.

5. “Minsan”
My all-time favorite Eraserheads song. It still reminds me of my younger years whenever I hear it playing.

6. “Poor Man’s Grave”
I know it’s not one of their mainstream hits and it was not released as a single, but still, it’s free to dream…

7. “Wishing Well”
The only Eheads song I love that was not sung by Ely. It’s likely that they won’t do this one, but again, I can always dream.

8. “With a Smile”
They can’t get away with out playing this one!

9. “Sembreak”
I just can’t enough of the melody and beat of the song. One of my very first favorites.

10. “Pare Ko”
The song that started it all. A proper choice for the ending song.

It’s just too bad I won’t be able to see it. I would have thought about starting to smoke just to watch the concert, hehehe…
