My Best Concert

The best concert I've been to was in September of the last year, at the Teatro Caupolicán. I went to see a Chilean Blondie tribute band called Rapture, just like one of Blondie's greatest hits. I had never heard of them before, but obviously, I know very well the original band. While I’m not a huge fan, I love the rock-pop-punk-new wave style of their songs, and Debbie Harry's powerful voice.

 Although it was a tribute band, the place was full, probably because the tickets were not very expensive. There were many people of all ages, and they seemed to enjoy the show, even when at the first couple of songs wasn't that great due to bad equalization of the instruments. After the fifth or sixth song, the audio was fixed and the band delivered a great show of all Blondie's greatest hits.

I really liked Rapture, even when I'm not a big fan of tribute bands. I especially liked that they were not trying to play the songs as close as they could to the originals, but rather adding an original spin to the songs.

The show ended really late at night, so I went along with my then girlfriend to her house, which it was closer compared to mine. She was a very big fan of Blondie, and in fact, she invited me to the concert. When she asked me if I wanted to go, she had already bought the tickets.
