Well friends...
24 hours later, i can finally write a little more about this historical night!
Its hard to start, but i gues we can start by saying that the boys brought two 474 planes to bring in their stuff, it was the biggest stage of the tour, and the accurate number we got for the attendance is 1.25 milion.
It really is hard to explain what was like that many people together, singing and jumping to the stones!
Kids, families, young people, older people, rich, poor, black, white, everyone together, as one harmonical note.
Beeing looked over by a perfect moon and a beautiful and hot summer night in Riode janeiro. 1 week before carnaval, everyone pumped, the city full of domestic and international tourists.
Rio is by nature a city that shakes everyone. Beatiful urban city surrounded by what nature has of best. Beautiful and incredably happy and friendly people. The boys love the city, and they were extremelly pumped, feeling the energy of this special event!
The night began with a show from a brazilian band called titães! A nice rock & roll warm-up.
Soon after that, people we yelling chants for the stones, singing songs, untill the moment they came on... a few more drinks, a couple more kisses in my beautiful girl, and i was ready for this, that would be something i could dimmensionate in any way.
As the walked over the crowd by the passway they made from the hotel to the stage, i noticed the first signs of an earthquake that would later happen.
As the boys finally got on the stage, i was able to feel the first earthquake in history at copacabana beach. The place was incredably loud, the energy went through our bodies, and the floor was not still for its first time in history. The boys looked over to the crowd and absorbed that mass of energy that consumed copacaba.
I swear to you all that we could not see the end of the crowed. there was so many people there. the stage was at the middle point of this gigantic beach. and i can only tell you that the 1/2 in front of the stage (including the 2 avenues, sidewalks, sand layer, and the boats in the water) were completely full!
All we could see was a wave going up and down, arms celebrating and hands clapping...everytime we looked in any direction besides de stage.
To be continued...
