The best Concert ever

My very best concert was the last summer. I was working as a light technician in GAM, for the Santiago a Mil Festival.
One day, I had an all day turn in the concert room. and, SURPRISE! that day "The tiger Lillies", one of my favorites bands, was playing.



They are a Dark Cabaret/Folk British band; they mix music with theater and black humor, all with a gypsy/clown aesthetics. they're perfect.
They have more than twenty albums, a puppet opera called "Struwwelpeter" (based on an old german Child book)  and have worked in the film "Plunkett and Macleane".



The experience was amazing; I had to speak with the musicians about the atmosphere they wanted in each song. They were great and funny (in their particular way).



The only sad thing was that i could not see them from the stands , because i was in the light balcony , operating lights, and that's a difficult vantage point. But not all people can say they have worked for the band they admire.
