The National Toasting Portuguese fans with new music – Journal News

Catherine Cross and Cristiano Pereira

The Americans The National, band of worship in Portuguese territory, they were the most anticipated name on the first day of Super Bock Super Rock and toasted fans with three new songs, one of them performed live for the first time.

Regular attendance the Portuguese stages over the past decade, the the National brought to the Park of the last album songs Nations, “Trouble will find me” (2013), compelling successes and an appetizer of what could be a close and anticipated work.

the energetic “Do not swallow the cap” and “I shouldnt live in salt” were the first to echo a Meo Arena filled, but away from the floods that came to check last edition . But do not let us look to the quantity to measure quality. The audience was enthusiastic and were several generations of fans who made note in front of the stage -. Those who arrived only with “Trouble will find me” or that is in love with the band over there in 2005 with “Alligator”

“Bloodbuzz Ohio” was worthy of the first ovation, with Matt Berninger to squirm glued to the microphone, blood red background, and voices to repeat the chorus. After the return to the past, “fast forward” to the brand new and captivating “The day I die.” “Find a way” was also tested with the Portuguese public and “I’m gonna keep you” was first played live tonight, as explained by the singer.

Before you start, Matt Berninger left the suggestion: “Get a couple, as if in a prom.” Alerted by guitarist Aaron Dessner to scanty tradition of this event by teen lusas land, Berninger fired: “They have prom is the only place where Americans have sex?”. After the laughter, there were even those who take the suggestion to the letter and let you pack two for the melancholy romanticism of this new song.

“I need my girl” also snatched hearts and mighty “Sea of ​​love” and “Fake empire” launched the flame on the audience, open chest and voices on high. Already announcing the end, the inevitable and vibrant “Mr. November” stirred up the crowd and “Terrible love” and “Vanderlyle crybaby geeks”, taken from “High Violet” (2010), generated full apotheosis with Matt Berninger to leave- be swallowed by the crowd.

cups of beer in the air, arms stretched to the strong man of the National, the security on the verge of a nervous breakdown, a full and happy disorder that Berninger already accustomed fans . And he met, among the public that cherishes every return and who confessed, at the beginning of the concert, to miss.

The night on the main stage, which had booted the rock of the Australian the Temper Trap , closed the danceable sound of British Disclosure . As no two without three, after being at the Super Bock Super Rock in 2014, still in Meco, and, last year, have worked in Alive, the brothers Howard and Guy Lawrence returned to put the crowd to dance.

Eximios this art, kicked off with “White noise”, shared disk with the voice of AlunaGeorge (Aluna Francis) and followed between computers, synthesizers and instruments for “F for you.” Caught false by a technical failure, yet were forced to leave the stage for about five minutes, but that did not slow down the public, which continued to vibrate with the songs “Caracal” (2015) and “Settle” (2013) .

the victory songs of the Euro 2016

It was one of the best musical moments of the night: the entrance to the Meo Arena hundreds of euphoric young beat with hands at the gates and shouted lustily an ode to Éder an epic and chilling spin with all those voices repeating “Allez, and was Éder that fo … and was Éder that fo …”. In these days when the thwack of victory in Europe is still visible in the spirit of all of us, wave chants lasted often night out in the most unexpected places in the room and even in the middle of the concert. The The National made even would like to congratulate Portugal for the achievement, which generated enormous joy in the crowd.

While The National seduced the indie audience inside the Meo Arena, XX Jamie He gathered a huge crowd under the visor designed by Siza Vieira at the Portugal Pavilion. The British musician, also part of the band The XX, was alone on stage and not realized it was making a live act or just merely pass electronic records with one foot in the garage. But such doubts were details of minor importance for assistance that turned that area into a bustling dance floor with oscillating bodies on a warm evening, tropical, without even needing to cover the arms.

Just before the American Kurt Vile has been in the same place to disseminate its contaminated folk indie rock. For about an hour, Vile left mostly pieces of “b’lieve i’m goin down,” last year’s record, but also revisited material “Wakin on a pretty daze.” The public reaction was quite positive, despite a portion having at one point left the stage toward the National, that would soon begin.

During the afternoon, the audience enjoyed the shade of the huge pala Pavilion of Portugal seems to have approved the Surma music, musical laboratory a girl of Leiria, Deborah Umbelino, spread a sound full of ethereal subtleties, harp, and eager to explore. This charm has not happened with Lucius , American quintet plowing an electronic pop without great flashes.

This year, the space is slightly larger and noticeably tidier, with a new distribution of feeding and the like. It seems to have been a good option. The happiest case of this enlargement felt especially in the new area in the Tour of Tágides. It is certainly one of the nicest areas of all urban festivals that are done around here.

This is a language flanked by the waters of the Tagus, full of pine trees (and pine needles on the ground), banks, poufs , cushions and lifts to go over in his silent movement. Turned out to be the ideal place to escape the frenzy of the rest room to rest between concerts and launch contemplative looks the Tagus, with the Vasco da Gama Bridge to the left and the Capuchin Convent there in the background, right.
