The Best Concert Ever

What's the best concert you've ever been to and why? Bear in mind:
  • when / where it was 
  • the artist they saw 
  • a bit of info about the artist 
  • describe the atmosphere during the event 
  • describe how you felt and why you enjoyed it 
  • any other memories about it

    Don't forget to:
  • add pictures.
  • make comments on three of your classmates's posts and your teacher's one too. 
  • use no less than 170 words. 
Lollapalooza

In spite of the fact that I've been compulsively collecting music for quite a long time, I haven't attended as many of my favourite artists' gigs as I would like to. To me, this is sort of an unacceptable audiophile case, as anyone who dares to call himself/herself a true music lover is expected to enjoy music in its purest and highest sound quality. There's no better way to judge music value than listening to artists live, especially when talking about music styles that are supposed be really loud. 
Anyway, I think the best live-music experience I've ever had was in summer, when I attended the Lollapalooza festival in Chile for the first time. That was one of the best moments I've had in ages because I don't really remember the last time I went to a concert. I could say that the main reason why I rarely go to see a band live is money. I mean, buying a ticket here in Chile is quite expensive; actually, one of the most expensive services in South America. Is it worth paying about CL$ 170,000 to see some of your favourite artists? If you do the math, attending a lollapalooza is like spending CL$ 14,000 on a CD every month, which is almost the amount of money you can religiously pay for an indie release at Sonar store in Providencia. 
I felt so incredibly lucky to have had the chance to see The National and Spoon, two of the most important alternative bands now, in my biased opinion. They were both amazing!; the perfect combination of a sense of sadness and cathartically aggressive guitars.
I have already paid for the next Lollapalooza edition, So I hope The War on Drugs will join the lineup.

English Language Challenges

The reason why I thought this could be useful for you is the fact that whatever you decide to do with your life, you'll have to sort out a successful way to cope with problems. I focused my research on teachers' self-efficacy beliefs, but this theory could perfectly go along with your own though...
