Greatest Concert Ever


One of the things I really enjoy is music. I could spend hours just looking for new bands, songs or rhythms. I'd say I'm really eclectic because I like music from different styles and periods: the 50's, 60', 70's... I could go on forever. However, my favorite band ever is The Beatles. It's sad to know they won't be together again as a band, but at least there's still Sir Paul McCartney.
I've had the opportunity to attend many concerts in my life like the ones from Kings of Convenience (my second favourite concert), Chemical Brothers, Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Jarvis Cocker from Pulp (I have his autograph), Franz Ferdinand, among others. I've also missed some really good shows like the one given by Morrissey in February. But that's not the point. The concert given by Paul McCartney a few years ago was the greatest show I've ever been to. It's going to be a year since he presented in Chile. The concert was held on May 11th, at Estadio Nacional, and it is known as the most expensive concert ever done in our country. People paid even 1 million pesos just for seeing him as closer as possible. Of course I couldn't afford it because I'm a teacher  and I paid one of the cheapest tickets. 
What I really loved about this concert is the fact that I sang songs that I truly love, and that actually were kind of impossible to sing without The Beatles' existence. It was like making a dream come true. In addition to this,  the atmosphere was really nice. There was a real connection with the audience since everybody was singing, clapping, dancing, and in constant communication with McCartney. The setlist consisted of 34 incredible songs, playing for about two hours.  In one word: Amazing.


Here's a video of the first song played at the concert. Hello, Goodbye.
