Hometown crowd

Para todos los argentinos, todos los porteños, y todos en la ciudad de la furia!

There's nothing quite like a hometown crowd. Seeing Mos Def in Brooklyn or the Dropkick Murphys in Boston is not the same as seeing them in, say, Houston.

Soda Stereo is the Argentine equivalent of David Bowie, The Clash and The Pixies all rolled into one. Their final show as a band, in Buenos Aires, in the River Plate football stadium was one of those "I was there" shows you tell everybody about later.

I wasn't there, mind you, but I saw Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - another Argentinean institution of a band - in the same stadium and I can only imagine what this show was like.
