So, first
of all I must say I have really bad memory so my oldest memories are not as old
as I wish they were. That been said the day I’m going to talk about happened this
year, a month ago actually.
I know I’ve
mentioned it maybe a couple times before. It was October 29th, the
day Damien Rice came back to Chile to play in a gig at the Universidad de Chile
Theater, the first in about 6 years since his last one. I wasn’t just excited,
I was really nervous actually. Not many people know his music so I decided to
go alone anyway.
The show was supposed to be starting at 8:30 so I got there just in
time. I watched the show from the first row of the second floor, so my view was
great (though the pictures I took don’t show the exact same nearness).
The crowd
was speechless during the whole show and though he played for almost 2 hours I
expected more songs. Anyhow I was just amazed after the show and refused to
leave just like hundreds of people more, so we waited outside the theater for
Damien to go out and play more songs. AND HE DID! I was less than 4 meters away
from him. He played 2 more songs and said goodbye.
I still
remember every bit of that day. It was one of the best days I’ve ever had in my
life and I think I will always remember (because I recorded almost half of the
show hahaha). So whenever I feel like it I press play and relive it again.
Damian Rice is a good artist. But it´s rare that he presented in the Universidad of Chile theatre thinking in the Caopulican for example. It´s fine that you´ve choosed that moment
ResponderEliminarI know right? Lots of people couldn't get a ticket because the theater was so small but I think it was Damien's choice (maybe) to make it there so it could be more intimate
EliminarWow, that's great way to keep your memories alive...recording them!!!!
ResponderEliminarIt must have been a really good show, and the best thing is you can watch it all the times that you want
