Maracana, the limit of dream challenge.

For countless singers, they did not even have the qualifications to challenge for their entire lives, but they fulfilled their entire dream until they died, and conquered Maracana with an absolutely strong attitude. A word of "conquest" is not enough to express the magnificence and greatness of that wonderful night.

From the last day in 1996 to the first day in 1997, Maracana, a venue that carries dreams, witnessed the process of a four-and-a-half-hour frenzy that lasted for glory until death. More than 700,000 audiences on and off the venue participated in this concert, which became the largest concert in music history, unprecedented and no one came later. Even a rock festival cannot reach such a scale!

Not only were 700,000 people participating in the concert, but all 700,000 people fell into a state of fanaticism. The four and a half hours of unstoppable carnival caused up to 231 audiences to fall into shock, while more than 1,800 audiences experienced spectacular dehydration to varying degrees.

What's even more terrifying is that when the performance ended, the audience called Encore in a striking rhythm, a slight secondary earthquake was created near Rio de Janeiro, and many residents felt the tremor. The noise index around Maracana reached 141 decibels, and the noise emitted by the jet when it took off was only 130 baht, which also created a brand new Guinness record.

After the concert, the New York Times randomly interviewed 557 viewers on the spot, which received a positive review rate of 98.7%. The only seven viewers gave negative reviews because "I still hadn't finished my wish and hadn't finished my enjoyment at all, and the concert was over."

This Maracana concert not only relies on a series of records to record, but also allows everyone to witness the live performance ability of Glory to death. Controlling 210,000 audiences is definitely the biggest problem in history, but the performance of Glory to death for four and a half hours has mobilized almost every audience's emotions, and the unparalleled live experience is even more amazing.

Later, seven world-class professional magazines including "Rolling Stone" and "q Magazine" were selected, and the ten greatest concerts of the 20th century, the concert that set countless records was selected without any suspense.

"Rolling Stone" ranked Maracana's New Year's Eve concert, which was glorious to death, third, behind the Beatles' 1969 Rooftop Concert and Michael Jackson's 1997 concert at Wembley Stadium in London. In the comments, "Rolling Stone" said, "It's enough to be in the glorious moment of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!"

"Q Magazine" ranked Maracana's New Year's Eve concert on the throne of the championship, defeating the Beatles, Nirvana, Queen and Rolling Stones to achieve such achievements, allowing glory to die to truly compete with these classic legendary bands. They believe that "this is the peak moment of music in the 1990s and is irreplaceable."

It can be said that the significance of this Maracana concert is definitely not just a concert, but more of it embodies the hard work and essence of glory to death, allowing people to clearly and deeply realize what kind of band Glory to death is, and what kind of works Glory to death is, which truly establishes the status of the long history of music glory to death.

If the Battle of the Century, the ultimate showdown proves that the powerful influence of Glory to Death is now sweeping the world almost with a devastating momentum; then the "Storm and Storm" tour, especially the Maracana Field, wrote the musical style of Glory to Death, which truly made Glory to Death recognized by music critics and audiences, and incorporated the category of "New Metal Rock" into the theoretical discipline.

History was born unintentionally. Even if we witnessed the madness of the Battle of the Century and the ultimate showdown, no one could have predicted the importance of this world tour. Inadvertently, countless audiences became witnesses to historical moments.

The success of the Maracana performance has attracted fanatical pursuits from major media in North America, South America and Europe, because the pace of the glory to death is about to unfold, and the bright spark will cause a real storm. But for glory to death, they have no time to care about the madness of this performance.

Not only because they have always focused on the tour itself and ignored the influence of the media; but also because a soul merged with Maracana and truly became part of the "storm" Maracana Field and remained on this land forever.

Looking at Jessica and Robin in front of him, Neil didn't know what to say. He looked back and saw Hugo just stood quietly by the side without saying a word, without any special expression; Alfonso and Fujin were just standing side by side, with their faces hidden in the shadows unable to see clearly. Although Pedro was with him, Pedro's condition was really bad at this time, with a smile on his face, but he could not hide the redness and swelling in his eyes.

"Sorry..." Neil suppressed the surging inside and spoke. If he knew about this concert, it would have become Sally's masterpiece. They would never agree with Sally coming here. No one knew if it was because of the long-distance running and long-term excitement that led to all this.

Jessica shook her head repeatedly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Neil, you don't need to apologize to us. On the contrary, we should thank you for everything you did for Sally." Having said this, there was still a lot of things to say, but Jessica found that her throat was blocked and she could not speak at all. The warmth in her eyes made her turn her head in a mess.

"Neil, this is Sally's choice, and it is also the choice of our couple." Robin took his wife's words, "You know, this is the best for Sally. She chose the most beautiful and unforgettable way to leave. If we just locked Sally in the hospital bed, maybe she could still talk to us now..." Robin's voice was choked, but he still controlled it, "But I know, Sally won't be happy that way. On the contrary, I must thank you, thank you for your willingness to cooperate with Sally, and thank you for your willingness to be with Sally for always being with Sally..."

There were still thousands of words in his mind, but Robin didn't know how to express it. Finally, he just left a "thank you" and hugged Neil, Fokin, Pedro and Alfonso one by one, preparing to turn around and say goodbye. However, Robin saw Hugo standing quietly next to him, thought about it, but walked over.

Hugo raised his head and looked at Robin, wanting to say "Peace all the way", but found that this sentence had no weight and was terrible hypocrisy, and could only be stuck in his throat, not knowing whether he should say it. Then, Hugo saw Robin smile, which was so shallow, a little sad, and a little ridiculous.

"Hugo, you know, a lot of times I'm jealous of you," Robin said, shook his head mockingly, "because Sally talks about you every day, from breakfast to supper, she always says, 'Hey, Hugo has a movie released,' 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 but tugged at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't laugh.

Robin sighed and then smiled again, "But, I must thank you, because you made Sally's life wonderful..." Hugo wanted to say a few words, but Robin raised his hand to stop him, "You don't have to be modest, I don't mean to praise you, haha." Robin's words made Hugo smile emptyly, "Not long ago, Sally told me about your dream, you want people to feel the charm of rock again and make rock a belief again. In fact, when I heard it for the first time, I felt that you were overestimating your ability, probably just an idol who didn't know the height of the world. But you convinced me, or you and Sally convinced me. The fact is, I am the self-righteous idiot."

There was always a faint melancholy between Robin's eyebrows, and even though he was smiling, it was so bitter. "Sally's biggest dream is to watch you realize this ideal day. So..." Robin tried to sort out the language, "So..." but found that it was not that easy, "I also hope this day can come."

After saying that, Robin stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of Hugo. Hugo hesitated for a moment, and only heard Robin say with a smile, "Don't let me wait for a long time, I must go to catch the plane." Hugo then stretched out his right hand, and the two of them held it hard.

Then, Robin bent down and said in Hugo's ear, "Thank you for singing that night, don't be upset about the past (don't look.back.in.anger)." This time, Robin never stopped again, turned around and walked towards Jessica with great strides. However, he raised his right hand and wiped his eyes twice, his movements a little embarrassed.

Looking at Robin's departure back, Hugo let out a long breath, but still felt his chest was stuffy and indescribable. His originally tight shoulders suddenly became heavy, and Hugo suddenly realized that in fact, he was no longer moving forward alone. Not only did he have countless supporters behind him, but this was also the common dream of countless people.

Shortly after the Maracana concert ended, Henry Bloom officially announced that the "Sally Foundation" was established, and the first fund came from the surrounding sales of the "Storm" World Tour, with up to three million US dollars being directly received. The Sally Foundation will continue Hugo's previous wish and be committed to treating stubborn diseases and terminal illnesses in children and adolescents, hoping to bring more hope and future to children.

This is what everyone knows, and almost no one knows that after leaving Maracana, Hugo's personal guitar strap was embroidered with black thread, "Sally". From this day on, Hugo carried his and Sally's dreams and moved forward together.
