Chapter 1715 1715 Carrying a Dream
Maracanã, where dreams challenge the limits.
For countless singers, they are not even qualified to challenge in their entire lives, but Glory to Death has completed the entire dream, and conquered Maracana with an absolutely powerful attitude. A word of "conquest" is simply not enough to express the grandeur and greatness of that wonderful night.
From the last day of 1996 to the first day of 1997, Maracana, a venue that carried dreams, witnessed the process of glory and death that set off a frenzy for four and a half hours. There were more than 70 on- and off-site Thousands of spectators participated in this concert, which also became the largest concert in the history of music.

What is even more frightening is that at the end of the performance, when the audience called for encore in a rhythm-beating way, a slight earthquake of magnitude 2 was produced near Rio de Janeiro, and many residents felt the tremor. The noise level around the Maracanã reached 141 decibels - and the noise of the jet plane taking off was only 130 decibels, which also set a new Guinness record.

What kind of band, and what kind of work is the music to the death of glory, really established the status of the music to the death of glory in the long history of music.

Looking at Jessica and Robin in front of him, Neil didn't know what to say. He looked back. Hugo just stood by the side quietly, without saying a word, without a special expression; Alfonso and Fu The two Jin just stood side by side, and the faces hidden in the shadows couldn't see the expressions clearly. Although Pedro was by his side, Pedro was in a really bad state at this time, with a smile on his face, but he couldn't hide the redness in his eyes.
"Sorry..." Neil suppressed the turbulence in his heart and said. If they knew about this concert, it would be Sally's swan song. How could they never have agreed with Sally to come here - no one knows if the long journey and long-term excitement caused all this.
Jessica shook her head again and again, with a faint smile on her lips, "Neil, you don't need to apologize to us, on the contrary, we should thank you for everything you've done for Sally." Having said that, there is still a lot to think about. But Jessica found that her throat was blocked and she couldn't speak at all. The warmth of her eyes made her turn her head in embarrassment.
"Neil, this is Sally's choice, and it's also our husband and wife's choice." Robin took his wife's words, "You know, this is the best for Sally, she chose the most beautiful, most Left in an unforgettable way. If we just imprisoned Sally in the hospital bed. On, maybe she can still talk to us now..." Robin's voice was also a little choked, but he still controlled, "But I know, that way Sally won't be happy. Instead, I have to thank you for being with Sally and for being with Sally all the time..."
There are still thousands of words in his mind, but Robin didn't know how to express it. In the end, he just left a "thank you", and then hugged Neil, Fukukin, Pedro and Alfonso one by one, ready to go. Turn around and say goodbye. However, Robin saw Hugo standing quietly beside him, thought about it, and walked over.
Hugo raised his head and looked at Robin, wanting to say "safe journey", but found that this sentence had no weight, it was terrifyingly hypocritical, it could only be stuck in his throat, he didn't know whether to say it or not. . Then, Hugo saw Robin showing a smile, shallow, a little sad, and a little ridiculed.
"Hugo, you know, a lot of times I'm jealous of you," Robin said, shaking his head self-deprecatingly, "because Sally talks about you every day, from breakfast to dinner, she's always like, 'Hey , Hugo has a movie coming out', 'Hugo has a new song', 'What did Hugo say today'... oh, for God's sake, I'm almost jealous of you."
Hugo couldn't help twitching his lips when he said this, but he didn't laugh.
Robin took a long sigh, then smiled again and said, "But, I must thank you, because you made Sally's life wonderful..." Hugo wanted to speak, but was lifted by Robin. The hand stopped, "You don't have to be humble, and I don't mean to praise you, hehe." Robin's words made Hugo smile indifferently, "Not long ago, Sally and I told me about your dream, you want to Let people feel the charm of rock and roll again, and make rock and roll become a belief again. In fact, when I heard it for the first time, I felt that you were overpowering, and it was estimated that you were an idol who did not know the sky. However, you convinced me, Or, you and Sally convince me. The truth is, I'm the self-righteous fool."
There was always a hint of melancholy between Robin's brows, even when he was smiling, it was so bitter, "Sally's biggest dream is to watch you realize this ideal one day. So..." Robin tried to sort it out A look at the language, "So..." But it is not so easy, "I also hope that this day will come."
After speaking, Robin stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of Hugo. Hugo hesitated for a moment, only to hear Robin say with a smile, "Don't keep me waiting, I have to catch the plane." Then Hugo stretched out his right hand, and the two of them shook hands.
Then, Robin bent down and said in Hugo's ear, "Thank you for singing 'Don't. Look. Back. In. Anger' that night." This time, Robin Without stopping, he turned and strode toward Jessica. However, he raised his right hand and wiped it twice in the eye socket, his movements were a little embarrassing.
Looking at the back of Robin leaving, Hugo let out a long sigh, but still felt stuffy in his chest and had an indescribable emotion. The originally tense shoulders suddenly became heavy. Hugo suddenly realized that, in fact, he was no longer advancing alone. Not only did he have countless supporters behind him, but it was also the common dream of countless people.
