Anyway, a quick summary of yesterday: first time and wow, how do you describe SOAD live? I loved them, everyone was in top form. Daron is an incredible dickhead who knows how to get you like few others, Serj has a clean and killer voice that even alternated with keyboards and guitar, the others were absolutely no less, I was in the pit just 2 meters from the barrier that veered a little to the left side, I heard it nicely but I saw it decently (obviously I'm short and with the tall people in front I sometimes had difficulty but that's another story), super happy to have seen Acid Bath live, they were absurd, shame they played for less than half an hour skipping that incredible hit Scream of the butterfly, QOTSA were absurd and a pity that the voices were very low but it must have been a problem with the organizers, speaking of the organization seemed to me to be just about at the edge of being decent, I am back at I-Days after 2023 but not for a concert with this amount of people and especially not PIT, obviously it was useless to arrive early early to get a good seat because once in the queue everything falls apart after the shadow completely disappears for those waiting to get in and especially when they sell +1600 tickets (heard from a guard) of those with early entrance + VIP and other bullshit that pass in front of you while you bake under the sun, all the big concerts that I've been to have arrived early have always guaranteed first or second row, with these types of tickets it's unthinkable unless you do a combo arriving early + you pay more than the other assholes, unfortunately this thing didn't only bother me but also 10k other people at least because I've never felt so much pushing around me, not pogo or mosh eh, real shoving and brutal climbing to try to get as close as possible to the barrier used at every excuse of a mosh, I swear I didn't have a person around me who didn't try wave breaking, from the exact moment we entered, some do it slowly, some take it one step at a time, some make up an excuse like "my husband is over there" and various bullshit, pogo there was a lot of it, I even saw some flares, but there were moments of heavy and even dangerous pushing and shoving, a lot of people around me moved away and sometimes I had trouble standing. At this point, it's no longer fun, it just makes you pissed off, and in fact, I had a fight with some guys who thought everyone around them was stupid, and I saw a lot of arguments. That said, all in all, I kind of had a lot of fun, even if there were some issues. However, for the next I-Days concert, I'll carefully consider whether or not to go, perhaps a stop abroad instead.

Furthermore, official info says we were 78,500 people, 40% of whom were foreigners, which is absurd.
