Marc Anthony “Vivir Mi Vida” world tour 2013 in Chicago
One of the most highly anticipated tours of Latin superstar, Marc Anthony hit the states for just a short 12 city tour, hitting the major markets in the USA. This included a sold-out night at the All State Arena in Chicago.
Marc Anthony has crossed several genres of music, including unforgettable movie roles.
After last year’s successful Gigant3s shows, he is performing as the only musical act of the night. After a slight delay, the lights dimmed and the crowd roared as the video screens played Anthony walking to the stage. Opening with the only English song of the night, I Need to Know, it flowed into the emotional charged song, Y Hubo Alguien. During Hasta Ayer, there was a violin solo that had the crowd cheering and singing along.
Anthony slowed things down a bit as he ripped into your soul and left your heart open with, Y Cómo Es El. You could feel the torture in his lyrics as he told the crowd how hard that song is to sing for many reasons.
This crowd was one of the loudest I have heard in many years and Anthony was very thankful as he shared stories and continued with songs, Ahora Quien and El Ultimo Beso. Flags from Cuba, Mexico and Puerto Rico were in the crowd and when the Hector Lavoe classic Mi Gente was being sung, the crowd danced along.
Playing for over 1 ½ hours, he poured every ounce of himself on the stage and even got on his knees to kiss the stage, showing his appreciation for Chicago’s energy tonight. He ended the night with the single off his new album 3.0, Vivir Mi Vida, to end a night too soon for many.
While this tour is only in a few cities, it is for sure worth seeing and hoping this will extend into next year and some added songs to an already amazing setlist.
Marc Anthony stayed in Chicago for a few days to host his 2nd annual charity event, “Maestro Cares Foundation.” This event assists disadvantaged children in Latin America and is an endeavor with Henry Cardenas.

Uno de los mas anticipados toures del estrella Latinoamericano, Mark Anthony llego a los EEUU por un corto tour de 12 cuidades, dandole a los mejores mercados de los EEUU. Este incluyo una noche llena en el All State Arena en Chicago.
Mark Anthony ha crusado muchas differentes classes de musica, incluyendo roles inolvidables de cine.
Despues del los excitosos Gigant3s shows el ano pasado, ahora el era el unico rendimiento de la noche. Despues de una corta espera, las luzes bajaron y la multitude de gente rugio, viendo la pantalla de video mostrando a Mark Anthony caminando hacia el esenario. Abriendo con la unica cancion de Ingles de la noche, I Need to Know, esa fluyo a la cancion cargada de emocion, Y Hubo Alguien. Durante Hasta Ayer, hubo un solo de violin que tenia la audiencia gritando y cantando.
Anthony calmo la audiencia cuando les desgarro el alma y abrio los corazones con, Y Como Es El. Se sentia la tortura en su letra cuando le dijo a la gente que duro es cantar es cancion, por muchas razones.
Esta audiencia era una de las mas fuertes que he oido en muchos anos y Mark Anthony estaba muy agradecido mientras contaba historias y cantaba, Ahora Quien y El Ultimo Beso. Banderas de Cuba, Mexico, y Puerto Rico aparecian en la multitud y cuando la clasica de Hector Lavoe, Mi Gente, se canto, la audiencia se paro a bailar.
Cantando por mas de hora y media, Anthony boto cada onza de su ser en el escenario, hasta arrodillarse y besar el escenario, mostrandole su agradecimiento a Chicago por su energia esta noche. Termino de noche con la cancion de su nuevo album, 3.0, Vivir Mi Vida, para completar muy pronto para muchos.
Mientras este tour ha sido en pocas cuidades, vale la pena verlo y esperemos que se extienda hasta el otro ano y que cante mas canciones.
Mark Anthony se quedo en Chicago unos dias mas para ser el anfitrion del segundo ano de su evento de caridad, “Maestro Cares Foundation.” Este evento asiste ninos desafortunados de Latino America y es un esfuerzo con Henry Cardenas.
