31.May.2010 Concerts, Festivals I´ve attended.

I moved to Madrid Spain at a relatively early age, when really no one was doing the massive Exodus, so things I guess were different at that time. (of course, some 10 years ago). The first thing I did was hit town, go to la FNAC, and check out the concerts that were available. I really never stopped. Tickets were sometimes out of my reach, but I now wish that I had attended more concerts and festivals. This is a suggestion to friends who live abroad.  All the same I attended blues and Jazz concerts bi-tri weekly cuz I had one of the most fab bars 3 minutes from my apartment.  And I never stopped going to Rock n Roll bars to hear new music and just hang out or dance. Time well spent.

So I decided to place in mah Blog the concerts I´ve attended  and if I remember the Venues and the Year. That will come in the updates, cuz I cant remember all the concerts I`ve attended over the years. This is like one fourth of them, I guess. Anyways, here goes my list of attended concerts over the last 10 years while away from Venezuela, or London, If you want to put it like that. (I left a whole bunch out, that while I remember hearing em, them bands didn´t moved me!)
