Sunday I went to the Shakira concert at a university here in Caracas with two friends. The show was supposed to start at 5 pm but obviously that wasn’t the case, she only got on stage at 10:30 pm. However, there were some artists presenting before her. First, as usual, there were two Venezuelan singers who sung about 5 or 6 songs each, I didn’t know any of them but some people behind us seemed to know them pretty well. After the stage crew had a chance to completely rearrange the stage the band Train got on as the official opening act of the show, and this time it was our turn to sing (well actually scream) along with the lead singer, Patrick Monahan. There was a lot of excitement while they sang, at one point the singer took out his blackberry to take a picture of the crowd, later on he threw shirts that had “Trainette” (female version of Train) written across it, then he asked 6 girls to join him on stage, he even threw a straw hat that he wore for one of the songs and when he sang Marry Me, he came down from the stage to sing to the girls in the audience, and everyone in the first few lines got to see him close up. Last but not least, on his way out of the stage Patrick signed his shirt and threw it into the crowd. Very deserving and after having sung along to most songs one of girls who went to the show with me caught it. After about 5 minutes of screaming we were able to show the shirt to our parents who were also super excited.

This post was actually supposed to be about the Shakira part of the concert but clearly I got carried away and this is getting long so I’ll tell you about her in my next post!
