in london it occurred to me that since
I was in the Mecca of theater since
corpse a musical in hits of the
moment they were still the miserable
that despite having released about eight
years before it was still impossible
get a ticket from one day to the
other
so I got a place in gayola
in front of a pillar
obviously partial view my
lots of pounds invested in that
ticket went to the pipe to the almost 15
minutes when I died of the test I
I left the theater many years
then I had to see the musical
Daily in Brazil and Portuguese
for two months in a row thanks
who was going to tell me that many years
then I would have to head the
musical for the second time in Mexico
when you have gone to a
show in the last two weeks
a month to see them raise their hands
little bit of light to all of you that we
did they please raise their hands
We appreciate your contribution to this
growing entertainment industry
live away from home
and I say recent because although many of
you have grown up with the
national shows and
international as part of their
daily
this was not always the case, it ‘s quite
recent
I arrived in this city of tampico
study more than 30 years ago and the
world
in the eighties it looked more or less
well video games neon lights hairstyles
Strident video channels and a fashion
electric and color
mark the beginning of a decade of
ochentas this decade as
all generates its own history in the
world a wave of political changes and
social issues never began as then the
music had so much impact among the
young boys
the appearance on the scene of the goldman and the
John Lennon’s death caused
feeling around the world but
perhaps one of the greatest merits in
our country is the opening to
big events
while enjoying with euphoria the
screamed goal and terms
globalization and internet
young people began to be known
they asked in the same way for the arrival of
massive concerts since the first
attempts in Querétaro and Puebla had
had a disastrous end
however the show in Mexico
it was specified to be seen only in
some nightclubs and programs
television that you did not have
easily accessed by the
public you do not know but starting
of the 1968 studies the
Mass shows are prohibited
in the city of mexico the government
try to avoid concentration of
young so there was not much towards
where to go
we have advanced a lot in that sense
you us as a public
we have defeated part responsible for that
this keep moving forward as you saw it in the
video the few experiences that had
been close to the city of Mexico
like queen in 81 in puebla and software in
89 in Querétaro had almost finished
in tragedy
I did not have the opportunity to live those
experiences but I found some
Chronicles that are summarized in the following
April 1989 appointment go down in history
of rock and roll in Mexico like a month
of reconciliation and of
union after the same end
Much has been discussed and much controversial
controversy has caused but in order to
accounts only the images
and sounds truthfully reflect the
acts
this after all was and will be
rock and roll but let’s see what happened
so
it is said that the tickets for the
bach concert were sent to a
print in the united states if there was not
in Mexico a printing company capable of doing
with the security parameters
required at customs were intercepted
the tickets they had to do
return the print if there was double
ticketing and those tickets to look like
some place so over quota
guaranteed to this add to all
those who also went to the
adventure in querétaro without having a
ticket and wanting to enter lack of
organization and slamming gas
tear- wounded or dead
we did not know how to do it there was no
spaces neither organizations nor bodies
of security the police was the one that gave
property security
for all this we were expelled from
rock and roll circuit by wild
for not knowing how to behave for many
generations
mine included in attending a
concert was a scanty experience and
almost clandestine was also plagued
of all kinds of risks
from the reactions of the police
even the behavior of the
public even if you do not like Molotov
I am going to recommend a video that
called kim and de paula
this video is this documentary that
It is made by olallo rubio which is a
former producer of the radio station
reactor is this video starts
showing the status quo
how he behaved in those moments
society the government and how many
of the events that were happening in
the way
they changed a whole generation shows
also what a generation of
rockers
they had to spend many years in those years
of you as I said before you have already
grown with respect
and they are partly responsible for the fact that
shows be what they are today in
day are you as public who
they have demanded quality shows
furniture operating systems and even
electronic ticketing system that
makes all this experience very much
simpler but good let’s go
still a little bit further back 1900 to
the late eighties plus or minus the
government of the city of mexico was given
finally he tells that he had to open
entertainment spaces for
young and they could make
an orderly manner without causing greater
hurt anyone and trying to educate the
public for example the auditorium
National just as you know
today
now it did not exist it existed and it was called
municipal auditorium since the years
fifty years was until 1991 that
inaugurated as the great place that I am and
it’s because you do not know
the first amphitheater in the world of
agreement with the specialized magazine
bidder or is has also marked that
is a Mexican company that is the
third ticket seller in the world
if the third a company totally
Mexican like that we like the show not
so many tickets sold in this city
finally but well let’s follow a
little with this story of what was
going through eighties
I also remember still when
in 1988
we demonstrate in the streets by
that famous system crash
many of us thought we were
convinced that Cuauhtemoc Cardenas
had won the election and we went out to
the streets to manifest ourselves we do not give ourselves
suddenly realize how much I eat
society we have won in spaces of
manifestation and of public demands and
this has grown together with the
spectacles
well in 1993 it comes for the first time to
madonna to mexico and for that you start
to build what was called then the
new brothers concert forum
Rodriguez to the streets came out even
some religious groups to demonstrate
against the three concerts that
this woman was going to give in mexico the
they tried to boycott with threats
banners made their requests because
they called it the liberator, not the
perverted hour of youth and
fun promoter
despite all that
the concert was given without major
tragedies but let’s see this other video
to make a little history
in Mexico the reactions have not been
made wait
on October 7 the national union of
parents started a movement
against the presentation of madonna
in the capital for being a show
that promotes corruption violence
homosexuality and bisexuality
despite the series of protests that
echoed in the chamber of deputies
everything is ready for the presentation
of madonna in mexico
madonna world tour audition
madonna in mexico in the new game of
brothers racetrack concerts
Rodriguez live or opportunity
plus
madonna the early show saturday 13 de
November sale of tickets in the system
ticketmaster at 3 25 9 thousand
madonna that the show
[Music]
the divine things in this concert
sorry in this video
they first realize that it says live
people did not think it was going to happen in
alive
one of the things that stands out most and the
second the discussion came to the
chamber of deputies is divine the
deputies already knew since then how
wasting time
discuss if madonna was coming one sees to
Mexico
in the end there was a whole legal battle to
get the permissions to perform the
concert that finally occurred without
greater consequences but more history
still a little bit more back 1991 in
excess Australian group is presented by
first time in mexico
let’s say it’s the first big concert
of the modern era 1991 very little
time you have the promoters of this
concert team up with the station
rockera of the moment that was double ufm and
they generate a campaign that said about you
it depends clear it depended on all those
assistants that the experience is
I would repeat
so it depends on you depends on
you depend we hear it for many
months
finally the day arrived and they make tails
kilometric
around the sports palace
to be able to enter inside all the world
behaved they say there are people
that he even asked permission to go to
bathroom afterwards of those years
ninety-two or so you start to
negotiate the possibility of a concert
by paul mccartney in mexico the place
that was the official site until
then it was the palace of sports
that has capacity for roughly 12
a thousand people but the amount of money
that Paul McCartney and his manager demanded
for this concert because
they demanded a much bigger place
as for several thousand people
unfortunately the Aztec stadium
I was also with
going for the same concert the
businessmen return with the manager
they told him we do not have a strange
and the manager quietly
he answered so they do not have a stadium
build 1
promoters accepted the challenge
they went up in a helicopter they flew over
the city and they found a space
where to build the stadium
this was in the forum on the road course
brothers
but beware the sun forum was not what
we know today
just passed a positive slide
I showed my age bad yet so still
you filter points as we just finished
see a photograph that forum was
scaffolding was not a forum
permanent was built was used in 1993
for madonna for mccartney and for pink
floyd
after it was destroyed it turned to
build and a couple of years later
that’s pink floyd there were no red chairs
They were like coca cola chairs
this one was later rebuilt
they see about 95 for the new ones
concerts of the rolling stones and it
it destroys again and it is until 1997 that it
opens as the sun forum just as
we know now a structure of
concrete and firm where it is presented
for the first time of itagüí and is the one
they come now unfortunately from
Itagüí did not return to Mexico
what I tell you happened just 20 years ago
or 25 years
many of you do not arrive and there is
tell how much the
access to entertainment in so little
time and this is what I want them to
invite reflection
today we have an infinity of
Public shows
massive smaller and larger
those with a little more or less
money
all have access to this as already
they saw in all this that I have told them
it did not happen before
today there are even festivals that
last up to three days as he lives
Latino who just arrived at his most
aged 18 and already manages to concentrate
almost three generations of people has
touched peace see children and children
young children who will see for example the
tacuba coffee or to the pri because already together
several generations
the next time they go to a concert
I want to invite you to think of a
little in all this that I have told them my
people record the concerts in their
small cell phones not nothing
more for protecting copyright
because they know that they also exist but
if not so that you really enjoy the
experience and stop seeing that thing
through a concert pantallita
It takes us to a place where we are
side by side with the other in one in a
world where we increasingly hear
if you see any suspicious question
reports the concert leads to a
place where the one next door is not a
suspect is another just like you who
nothing else came to have a good time and
listen to your favorite group the
next time they go to a concert
think that you received a
Estafeta received one more company
open more inclusive more tolerant
keep fighting for all that
all that is due to people like me
we fought for this to exist one day
and today you have that place follow
fighting to make changes in this
society in its right but also its
responsibility
Thank you
[Applause]
