And to attend the passionate presentations of so many during the tests – from those I admire from the distance, of those I also know – and see all this becoming a journey of almost 10 hours of music and communion was something worthy to see. The song is, of course, the soundtrack of our lives, but yesterday, in my opinion, it was very special. As if a three -dimensional soundtrack had been created in real time. Everything to celebrate this return to the band’s house that was once known as land. “
