Let’s start with a suggestion: For those who have not entered the photo exhibition space organized by Rita Carmo in a room of the Pavilion of Portugal. Are 10 minutes well spent to see, discover or recall images of bands who have gone through this event since 1995, organizer of the authorship of the photos and other artists that illustrate a trip plucking the nostalgia of smiles. Not to be missed.
In this second day we feel much more movement in the space between the MEO Arena and the Pavilion of Portugal, a sign that festival-goers would even live bids around the grounds. The environment continues to be something strange among many young short fashion shorts, some tourists and people with relaxed air holidays, there are very good people working with costume and who chooses to not change clothes because the environment is urban .
What else can you ask for a festival than a surprisingly good concert, those who brand the entire event?
The 2015 edition of SBSR will be known as the one who revealed a Benjamin Clementine evening under the visor on the verge Tagus. In this place we had already pointed out the acoustics as the biggest problem for the bands that have passed through there, until he reached the London Benjamin Sainte-Clementine. Sitting at the piano and accompanied by a discreet trio, gave voice (and voice!) And soul to the songs of “At Least For Now.” So epic moments of charged melodies of feeling and commitment that we can only say that whoever saw will never forget, who saw no good can repent. If the Stage EDP was thought for a concert of this involvement, so it was a bet more than you earn. That rapturous moment, this passage from Benjamin at the Nations Park! On asking for an urgent return in his own name.
Later, at night, another music coming from London also triumphed in the same space. Ironically, after the sound of tranquility Clementine have fallen there perfectly, nervous sound of the Savages also adapted to almost closed the Stage EDP space. Jehnny Beth led another great performance from us, even with “Silence Yourself” to surrender. The Savages gave meaning to the concept Super Rock.
Among Benjamin’s emotion and the excitement of the Savages, there was pop relaxation with Adam Bainbridge and his alter-ego Kindness very well received by a generous audience.
A day filled to the Stage EDP that ended with another good concert, the Bombay Bicycle Club made full British to triumph there right near the Casino and the Oceanarium.
On the other side of the room there is good news for the Portuguese music. The stage of Antena 3 has always been well made public acquainted with the proposals that pass through. Also we saw many musicians to attend concerts of his fellow fighters, which provides up collaborative moments like yesterday saw with Moullinex to go on stage portuenses Best of Youth. In addition to the themes of the EP recommended ‘Highway Moon “, there was a well-stirred version of” My Moon My Man “by Feist.
The White Haus opened the night in the always awkward time when there is still a lot of movement that part of the enclosure but fulfilled, while Teresa de Sousa Freitas took advantage of the excellent reception that his project was having and surprised everyone with an escape from the stage to the nearest Sponsor stand tower to shoot from a high platform and fall a giant inflated mattress. A successful passage of Da Chick.
In Portuguese we continue to talk to media meeting Sérgio Godinho and Jorge Palma on MEO Arena. The expectation was big but empty benches not helped create the environment that was intended consecration. Walking through the repertoire of both managed to enthuse the space the audience but there was the surprise factor or improvisation that would generate more enthusiasm. It was what we expected and that’s saying a lot since these two compelling figures in the history of Portuguese music.
Before the MEO Arena, the The Drums brought us a rock of Brooklyn now with the recent proposals “Encyclopedia ‘. Some fans in the audience danced but the empty room not brought great contagion to the action that suggested “Let’s Go Surfing”. Not really happen because the Tagus river has no waves.
Well was more composed space to receive more North American Belgian we know. And we have known each other for two decades. We have never seen a bad concert of dEUS and also was not this that this has happened. An alignment visiting his discography from the first steps and that always seems to leave out another song that fans do not forget. Had less audience surrendered its long history passes by Portugal, most have just wanted Damon Albarn.
Blur came, saw, conquered and are already on their way to Spain. Signed easily the best festival concert with a perfect building alignment that balanced the songs from the new “The Magic Whip” with all the classics of seven other albums.
The most striking scene of all visits to Portugal with props that illustrate the latest cover album, the usual delivery Damon Albarn visited several times the fans in the first rows and had the highlight when he took to the stage the young John. A fan who had the privilege of singing and jump with Damon in contagious “Parklife”. The concert did not miss any of the great anthem of Britpop and even left the feeling that many people were sated well before the end of the concert with “Song 2″. After that shot pop saw a remarkable rout.
Blur are in great shape and give meaning to this new life of road. Interestingly, the highest point of this festival had no more than half filled pavilion. The title of greatest flood should be even Sting. Florence Welch has the word.
