I was stranded in Disco. I went to dozens of darkened places with enough flashing lights to drive the average person mad. I felt lost in the pulse of sheer panic.
It's an incredible experience to interact with fans in first person, get immediate responses to your music and see the madness that your music creates.
In a strange kind of way I know were really popular and probably the biggest band in the country at the moment, but at the same time there is this real cult thing going on.
Classical music in Venezuela is now something like a pop concert. You can see people screaming or crying because they don't have a ticket.
It didn't even really matter how good the band was - if someone could keep a beat, then you were prepared to jump up and down and smash around.
Nothing is more singular about this generation than its addiction to music.
Even at al my mother's concerts, I had never seen people go crazy the way they did with the Beatles.
There was a euphoria in the music and the way it was delivered, and, as the crowds started to get bigger, it fed off itself until it became less about the band and more about being with all those people, jumping up and down, drunk to the music.
