Minsang nagpunta ako sa Bistro para gumimik, nakita ko ang pagdating ng mga miyembro ng banda. Sabi ko sa sarili ko: Buti pa ang mga musikero ngayon, nakakotse (modelo pa) pagpunta sa gig nila. Noon, nakadyip lang kami, at para makatipid, lakad na lang pagbaba sa dyip, bitbit ang mga Gibson at Fender na gawang Pampanga, napakabigat kasi sa tagal mong pinag-ipunan para makabili, kelangan ilagay mo sa guitar case na gawa sa lawanit yata yun, gawang Pampanga rin. Matagal-tagal na rin ang panahong yun, yung sa amin. Noon maliliit pa mga tiyan namin, nabubuhay sa diet na banana at kamote cue lang. Kasyang kasya pa ang mga levis at faded glory (minsan macomber) na 26 lang ang size ng waist.Yun yung panahong pag tumugtog ka ng Tagalog o Pilipino o lokal na kakaiba sa tonong naririnig sa radyo, pagsususpetsahan ka na: aktibista 'to, komunista 'to, adik ito!! Minsan nga iimbitahan ka pa diyan sa bandang edsa para huwag na umuwi at dalhan na lang ng gf o nanay mo ng extrang brief. Ano ba 'yan? kung uso lang noon ang phrase na "kailangan pa bang i-memorize yan", libu-libong beses ko na siguro nasambit yun. Libu-libo, as in literally, de-hins figuratively. Pero mabalik tayo sa musikero ngayon. Tindi na nila. Noon, ang kaya lang gumamit ng electronic pa-epek para mas gumanda kanta e sina rj jacinto o sina pepe smith, yung una mayaman, yung huli di ko alam pero sigurado may suporta ng mainstream music industry. parang alternatibo ang dating rin pero mainstream din yun kasi dinedebelop ng recording company kasi nakakita ng bagong oportunidad ng earnings. Ngayon, tindi na ng mga batang musikero. Ang sarap nga kantahin ng "Ulan", "Hallelujah" etc. lalo na sa mga videoke bar. Basta ang marinig mo lang sa comment na "Wow! Si tatang, alam din pala yun!!" e yung "Wow" lang, gumagaan ang bigat na naipon sa mga dekadang nag-risk ka ng buhay at kinabukasan na kayo-kayong magkakaibigan lang ang nakakaalam. Ano ba 'yan?...

From what I heard and read about 70s Bistro, it is the center of rock n roll in Quezon City. I used to go to BBM in Manila, the center of folk rock in that area. Someday, I would like to get to 70s Bistro to get a taste of live rock n roll. Not that I haven't had a taste before. I had seen some. Once in a while, me and my friends also jam to some rock n roll pieces. We are not so seroius about it, but when we play, we can show that we can also rock decently. I hope the rock n rollers do not destroy the music that we love to listen to. They may have been rocking for a long time, but I hope they only get better. Some say that rock n roll had died more than thirty years ago, I say that it has been made to live by others who refused to believe that the "music" had died. There may have been no rock revolutionaries in the last thirty years, but it is enough that the music has been kept alive through lp/s, cds, live performances and the never ending resurgence of bands and single artist/s who rock for music sake. I believe that rock n roll is not a nostaligic trip, but a re-discovery of treasure of music and keeping it alive. We have to keep on going, at the same time we pay respect to our music heroes. Thanks and more power to 70s Bistro.

Here's my piece: i am 43 and have 2 children, one is 24 and the other is 11. The eldest, a she, had her first taste of live bar music b4 she turned 11, twas a monday and Grace Nono was playing. My 11 year old son had his first at 6, and twas a friday and the Jerks were playing. Saan pa kundi parehong sa 70s Bistro. That is telling a lot about the place! It's been 14 yrs of the coolest gigs in the metropolis. I now operate a small blues joint somewhere in QC and we play recorded audio and video blues-based gems, but when i feel the urge to listen to live band music, I still keep on coming back to the same place. The 70s Bistro. More power to Renard and the gang!
