The curtain rises and there he was, the very one, opening his

concert and unleashing a colossal euphoria, what he lived in

that arena was more than a concert, it was a communication, a

connection with a Moz, and his band, that happy, sincere, kind,

gave himself completely to his beloved Chilean audience, for

me, was the first triumph of that which it costs to happen, the

emotion of being there, of singing, dancing, jumping, remembering,

in short, a mixture of sensations, feelings, that only he

who presents a concert of his favorite artist can understand. A

show full of synergy that transformed what happened in that place

into an incredible memory, I almost didn’t record, I enjoyed

and I soaked up every word, every gesture, the chords, the nuances

and details that are not captured by videos. That is how the

first concert ended, euphoric for all that happened I returned

to Santiago knowing that fortunately there was another day left.

For the next day I did not get there early enough so I had a

slightly more backward location, the wait with the same music

and videos was only different from the previous day only in

that I knew approximately the order of the videos, the anxieties

were the same, perhaps a little pressed to remember and

capture even more because today was the last, I did not expect

another concert tomorrow. Curtain up and there he was

again, now, if they opened with the song that had been opening

on the tour –a, if it is not my favorite of the Smiths - and

emotions to the surface again, Movistar Arena has a magic

that combines the cry of the pubic with effects most noticeable

of light, smoke, audio, they did that on several songs the

tears to fall, immortal, is the image of Moz singing “Jack the

ripper” under a smother of red color, an image so powerful,

and according to the song that surprises the viewer that is.

That concert for me was the stamp that culminated in forging

a passion that until then manifested itself in audiovisual form

on screen, but now after so many attempts I could say “I was

there”, after that elusive becoming I had sometimes done,

the dreams are to fulfill them and had fulfilled one of mine.

In writing these lines I can only ReLive, as they have been

every day since, those beautiful moments, I type and maintain

that in persistence there is Triumph, do not falter in

the search and always understand that not everything is within

reach of our hands, not everything we can handle, but

how we take it and more importantly, what we will do if it is.
