Were they afraid at the beginning of the environment that could be found?
We had that feeling of 'what could happen'. Maybe people would take it well, or perhaps was the ability to think 'what do these thieves?’ but, as noted we do with respect and eager, also putting a thread turn, larding topics classic rock punk, That went away.

Then came our first date Capital and began to happen recitals and festivals Allsides (affectionately we pronounce Alcides). People started coming, We called and played everywhere ... it was crazy to play one day with Sergio Denis and the other with 2 minutes. It was crazy to have passed from that first concert to concert our people so, a diverse audience.
