Rock in Rio: it’s not just like, it’s like starting – Express

They will all say the same: Bruce Springsteen is a force of nature. It is the purest of truths. The first day of the 2016 edition of Rock in Rio was already his and has not ceased to be so at the end of two hours and 45 minutes concert. A minute after 2:30 am, when the US 66 years left the stage after an acoustic number ( “This Hard Land”), a feeling that had seen a fine print concert (and rare strength ) it’s inevitable. Blessed be the time when our time crossed with Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen

But the stratospheric concert Springsteen and his E Street Band is also a problem for the rest of the event:. And now, how acceptable is the distance of the other ringleaders to this galactic “dispatched” at the first day?

let’s descend in time. First edition in Lisbon, the year of grace 2004: Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters, Metallica, Britney Spears, Sting. Second edition, 2006: Shakira, Guns N ‘Roses, Roger Waters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sting. Third, 2008: Amy Winehouse, Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, Metallica, Linkin Park. Wednesday, 2010: Shakira, Elton John, Muse, Miley Cyrus, Rammstein. Rock in Rio Lisboa V 2012: Metallica, Linkin Park, Lenny Kravitz, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen. Friday 2014: Robbie Williams, Rolling Stones, Linkin Park, Arcade Fire, Justin Timberlake. We focus, watch out-if only in headliners.

Tastes aside, the difference feels. Tomorrow will be the day of Queen and Adam Lambert closed hostilities – or two important elements of the Queen (who were four) plus a guest vocalist in the third life of the British band (Freddie Mercury will inevitably gauge). For the week, on Friday, the Hollywood Vampires, friendly band versions with two rockers and an actor first water like rocking, share the headliner condition with Korn, survivors of a bare metal already there go. Maroon 5, Cimeiro name pop (but less than a year went by capital), heads the penultimate day. Avicii, spearhead of an “electronic dance music” on a downward curve, will launch the last rockets. Nothing in theory against these names: but already we looked good for the menus of past editions

Can this seemingly weaker poster is due to a misfortune sequence (U2, which could be the Rolling Stones? this year, they changed the turns to his tour, Guns N ‘Roses only later come to Europe)? Can. But there was also attentive competition and playing well. AC / DC have come. Adele, Iron Maiden, Justin Bieber and Santana yet to come. It is not difficult to suppose that some – if not all – assentariam like a glove in Bela Vista. Not to forget Bruce Springsteen, but to finish well what the “Boss” started.
