Argggg, I wanna jump into time, to go back to wednesday. Just to feel that pleasure growing again while enjoying the metal guys.

We arrived early in the afternoon actually, to have time to sit down on terrasses for a beer, or two, or three!
The stadium is in the most posh district of Paris and I can't tell you how funny it was to see the long-haired guys with ugly t-shirt everywhere there. From an old-lady-with-poodle's point of view, it must have been kinda scary maybe. But these guys are most of the time lambs :)

There's no way, or hardly any, to share pleasure when it comes to music, even less for a concert.
After the talentless (my point of view) clowns played (Slipknot), we heard the good, bad and ugly's Ecstasy for Gold which announced (as usual) the arrival of Metallica. They played for more than 2h30!
We had no rain, the moon, smiling, even came to stick just above the scene!

The 4 horsemen played fookin well, and asked a lot for people to participate... no in a "we make our show" way... rather like an exchange of energy (lol I know music fans speak in a strange way ;-):
"we (the band) gonna give our best, and so you (the audience) will".
Gawd, that was good.

They finished the concert asking what we wanted them to play. They were much giving.

I wanna see them again!!!!
Why anything that feels really good never last enough, huh? yeah, why oh whyyyyyyy?!!!
hehe
I've jumped higher and screamed more loudly than the 15 years-old teens next to me, and I feel ready for another furious session! If being 30 feels like that, it gonna be RILLY something!! hehe... RoaRRRRRRRR!!!!

(and here are some pics of the concert, found on The Whipping Dancerz's forum)
