What's up, readers! Today I am pleased to write about a concert or exhibition I went. So, like the title says, I will write about Macca's concert in Chile that took place in 2011. I was a very big fan of The Beatles when I was still at school. I knew almost all of their songs on guitar and I used to sing them over and over again. It was even lame and cheesy, but those were good times. When I finished school in 2009, I move over The Beatles because I was bored of their songs (lol) but the McCartney ones. His albums (and its production) - Ecce Cor Meum and Flaming Pie - were the best. THEN, the presale for his concert, in May 11th 2011 at Estadio Nacional, was open and I couldn't believe it. The bad news were that those tickets cost me like 40,000 chilean pesos (balcony "seats"). However, I went with 3 friends - Gonzalo, Felipe and Bruno - and it was a very good concert. The weird thigs about it were 2: First, the opening act was in charge of DJ Chris Holmes. I don't like his show at all, maybe because I was too excited waiting for McCartney, I don't know, it was a bit boring, also, I don't like those The Beatles mixed songs. And finally, there was a moment when a face shows on the LCD at the back of McCartney and his band: it was Obama's face. Nowadays, I still don't have an explanation of that. I searched that in forums and with other people of the audience. Whatever. Naciotal Stadium is a nice place for concerts, but its acoustic doesn't seems to be good enough.
This year I went to Jorge Drexler and Placido Domingo concerts. I went with my father both of them. The first one was very good! I really dont used to listen to him but it was a very good gig. And, about Placido's concert, it was cool! My mom told me about it and its cultural value, so I went. Was awesome.
Thanks for reading!
