MY HAPPIEST MEMORY
I have many happy memories, but one of the happiest ones is when I went to my first concert. It was about 4 years ago, in October. I went with my cousin, a friend of hers, and my sister. It was in Santiago, at Club Hípico; so we left Viña quite early, just a little after noon. We got there at half past 2, and the concert started after 8 pm. When the band appeared on stage, everybody started to jump and sing. I started to push and jump to get closer to the stage. When I was about 2 meters away, I started to feel sick and breathless, so I got out of the crowd and sat on the grass. There were a lot of people sitting in groups there, and I could still see half of the stage. Dave Murray was standing right there, playing his guitar and swinging his arm in a circle... Then Bruce Dickinson came next to him...
It was near the end of the show when someone asked me if I wanted to be raised to see the entire stage, and, even though it was kind of embarrassing, I said "YES!" I remember it so well; I was there singing "fear of the dark" while a huge "Eddie" was walking back and forth on the stage.
After the concert I had a grin on my face for 3 days or so...
I went to Iron Maiden's last concert, on April 10th, 2010, and I enjoyed myself a lot too, but the first one was really, realy special...
