Soda Stereo Monterrey

“Tarda en llegar. Y al final, al final hay recompensa”

Last Friday, I went to what was the best concert I’ve ever been to.

Thirty two thousand music lovers met at the Estadio Universitario to see legendary (and by far personal favorite) Argentine Rock en Español band Soda Stereo after a 10 year absence as part of their reunion tour Me Verás Volver. And I was only there, right in the center and only a few meters away from the stage.

Jaramillo, Cetrulo, and Correa made the trip from Austin to Monterrey to see the band as well. Locals Julia, Moishele, Lucía, Nathán, Bernardo, and many other friends went too. It was a big event after all.

To see some photos we took go to The MKX® Photo Central or you can check out the official website’s photos (1, 2).

The concert’s set, as best as my friends and I could recall (feel free to point out the mistakes) was very similar but not quite the same as in Argentina. (Spoiler warning: Do not read on if you still have to go to one of the concerts):

The Police

Leave a comment

I went to Houston last Friday with Jaramillo (and Mr. Johnny Kings who joined us there) to see legendary rock band The Police. Tickets were outrageously expensive, and so were the super-retro souvenir T-Shirts – but I still bit.

We sat in the corner above and to the left of the stage, which turned out to be not so bad, in spite of my initial cursing. Sting is awesome, and so is the drummer Stewart Copeland. Guitarist and one time Cerati collaborateur (an honor, no doubt) Andy Summers looks like he’s their dad.

Public acknowledgement goes out to Juan and Sandra for hosting us, in spite of my usual offensive body odor.

Gustavo Cerati in Monterrey (¡Ahí Vamos!)

3 Comments
Just got back from Gustavo Cerati‘s concert in the Luis Elizondo Auditorium in Monterrey, Mexico. He played songs spanning from Ecos (1985) all the way to his latest CD (all thirteen songs) Ahí Vamos (2006), going throug every one of his solo CDs and a few songs from Soda Stereo.
Here’s the signature crappy cellphone photo:
The following images appeared on the local newspaper, El Norte:
It was a looong concert, about two and a half hours of the best argentinean rock. These are the songs he played, kind of in order:
  1. Al fin sucede
  2. La excepción
  3. Uno entre 1000
  4. Adiós
  5. Ecos
  6. Bomba de Tiempo
  7. Prófugos
  8. Te para 3
  9. Tu medicina
  10. Avenida Alcorta
  11. Otra piel
  12. Cosas Imposibles
  13. Vivo
  14. Toma la Ruta
  15. Caravana
  16. Me Quedo Aquí
  17. Lago en el Cielo
  18. Dios nos libre
  19. Medium
  20. Crimen
  21. Paseo Inmoral
  22. Puente
  23. Jugo de luna
El Norte claims he played 25 songs… so I’m missing one. If you know which one it is let me know.
