Post 2 - The best concert ever

I have been in maybe three or four concerts, but my favorite one was Iron Maiden at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez on March 11th of this year. It was the greatest for me because I grew up listening to them, also, that day played Anthrax and The Raven Age too.

Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden is a british heavy metal band from London, founded ain 1975 and is one of the most popular bands on their genre since the '80s along with Metallica. They played a lot of times before in Chile, but maybe that was one of the last.

Their first concert had to be in 1993, but the christian churches and some partys as DC, UDI and RN prohibited their entry to Chile, because they think (even today) that "heavy metal music is satanic and immoral". That is why I think that they are a bunch of idiots who must be kicked off the country and sended to live on a desert island in the middle of the sea.

The atmosphere was great, we were a crowd of almost 55.000 people singing all the songs. The Raven Age is a "new" band, a lot of people doesn't know them but they have good music. All the people "exploded" when Anthrax opened with "Caught in a mosh", and when they played "Indians" was a Wallmapu flag on the stage (it was nice).

During the concert, they played some songs of the new album "The Book of Souls", and their greatest classics as "The Number of the Beast", "Powerslave", "Hallowed be thy Name" and "Fear of the dark". The visual presentation was awesome with a aclimatted stage and lot of pyro and especial effects. I never felt that excited before on a concert, it was the best experience of my short life. Is impossible to not enjoy an Iron Maiden's concert.

I remember that "Pastor Soto" was preaching on Grecia Av. before the concert, it was funny and stupid at same time.
