Pearl Jam in Chile was an Epiphany

The third concert of my life: The fifth arrival of Pearl Jam in Chile, greater than the Holy Spirit, that never came.

Since the gates opening until the first song  two and a half hours passed . Since the first song, two and a half more. A complete experience, with the mist weed, some fans singing outloud, the human tide, the sweatybodies...

Wednesday 4th November 2015. Nine and half, a hot night, very intense. Fifty five thousands peoplea sea of people  on the field of the Estadio Nacional. Grunge is still aliiiiive!!!!!

The Beginning of Pearl Jam

The group was created in 1990 with the name "Mookie Blaylock" like the ex Basketball player. It's been named Pearl Jam since 1991 and its first LP was named "Ten" like the Blaylock's dorsal when he played in the New Jersey Nets.

The band is formed by Jeff Ament (bass), Stone Gossard (guitar), Mike McGready (guitar) -who were the founders-, Matt Cameron (drums), Boom Gaspar (organ) and Eddie Vedder (vocals); the frontman.

Pearl Jam had released ten LP's: Ten (1991), Vs (1993), Vitalogy (1994), No Code (1996), Yield (1998), Binaural (2000), Riot Act (2002), Pearl Jam (2006), Backspacer (2009) and Lighning Bolt (2013).

Pearl Jam in Chile

Lightning Bolt tour landed in the Estadio Nacional scenario. Fifty five thousand souls living the maximum emotion of our lifes. They played classic songs like Porch, Alive, Black, Better Man. I sang very loudly. I achieved nirvana. It was sublime, total. It's impossible to express my hapiness, my gratitude, the wonder that it was. Beautifully beautiful. I don't know. It's hard to explain.

    Pearl Jam always has been one of my "pending subjects" in music, i don't know why, but i know a few albums (3) and Eddie Vedder's solo albums. I'll have to listen some other albums and let you know if i like more of their work.

I've failed to myself

WELCOME TO MY REQUIEM If I have improved something is my own way of going to classes because the one thing I want from this subject is to approve. At the start of the semester I was in an enormous existencialist trouble and one part of the problem was that I was living in Melipilla, far far away. It was very complicated to take the bus, the two hours of travel a day was exhausting. And well,  that easily meant four absences. Besides, I am working for RadioJGM during thursdays. I'm the cameraman of a TV program named "Cajita de Música". That meant three or four more absences. In fact, my absences prove my interest in the english class is non-existent. I just wanna approve. The english class had funny moments like talking about Pearl Jam, Trainspotting or Ireland and its meadows but in general, it isn't inspirational. When I registered myself in this class, I did it for one reason: "salir del cacho". But I look at my assistance and I feel that I failed. Besi...

Speaking About Dish and Cooking

I have two favourite foods: Pastel de Choclo and chickpeas with longaniza. This summer my mother taught me  the preparation of Pastel de Choclo. Of course, i ate a lot of this, in fact,  I carried Pastel de Choclo to my (actual ex) girlfriend and atet together while we watched TV series. It's nostalgic. Until recently, i didn't like cooking because i thought that was ridiculous "lose a lot of time and eat about ten minutes". However, now that I'm living alone, I’ve had time to cook: I learnt to cook rice with peas boiled simultaneously and a drop of linseed. The food that i usually eat in university, are currently  vegetarian foods, like soy burgers and vegetarian empanadas (that contain quinoa and mushrooms). Any favourite restaurant? I believe that Fuente Mardoqueo is a good restaurant, specialized in sandwiches with different types of barbecued steaks. Another place is Insert Coin . Its drinks are very good: refined, exotic and original. And also y...

Postgraduate or Another Career?

Imagen
There was a time in 2015 when i had a vocational crisis, (I even  thought about leaving this career), these careers were brought to my attention: Arts, Architecture, Graphic Design, Politics, Zoology, Latin American Studies, Arabian Studies, Geography, and maybe after, a PhD in any of these degrees or learn German, Dutch or Irish Gaelic languages. Any place to study?: In Chile, University of Chile or University of Santiago. Out of Chile, any of the greatest universities in Germany, Netherlands or Ireland. In Latin America, Uruguay could be a good place. I don't like the E-learning (distance learning), because i feel that you don't have the campus experience. Specially, I would like to study in a normal schedule, like currently, not part-time or whatever its name is. However, the only way to do this, is if you're a millionaire, because the universities in Chile or Europe are very expensive. Besides, when you are graduated, you can't submit to grants. In fact, I'm s...
