A moment. River anascotia , the last song of PJ Harvey concert, flowing into another river. The band that accompanied him to drop the tools to join voices in Wade in the water , the American Negro spiritual superlative, closing masterfully one made manifest powerful concert. Music as a transformative and active matter, such as sound ripped the shadows of time as a warning to another time, this we live. It was midnight on Saturday and we would need some time gathering if it were possible to a music festival, to digest all that we had seen and continue with concerts script as if nothing tivese past.

Another moment. By late afternoon Brian Wilson, the inventor of genius Pet Sounds , played in its entirety in Park City, it takes a little more in the presentation of one of his songs. “Listen carefully to the letter. They will love it. ” The song is entitled I just was not made for These Times and is probably the best that is Brian Wilson and one in which the composer of the Beach Boys better feel represented. Back key:. “ sometimes I feel very sad ”

It was a concert to tears (and we saw them running in more than one face) and joy (and even there crowd-surfing for “Surfin ‘USA”, very appropriate procedure to a band that sang both its maritime sport). It was a very happy concert erected on a sad backdrop (feelings that live in many of the best creations of Wilson). Moving and rapturous.

In the script we chose to spent the second day of In Primavera Sound, PJ Harvey and Brian Wilson were destacadíssimos co-protagonists. Of course, Cass McCombs, cantautor exception in America of singer-songwriters, and admirable guitarist, left in the populated memory the open road Big wheel , the desolate beauty of County line or the Dreams come true girl all heard the beginning of the festival in the afternoon in one of the main stages. And the electrical discharge of the insatiable Mudhoney, very living survivors of grunge said of the 1990s and led by Mark Arm that went into Iggy Pop mode and became an irresistible rock’n’roll agitator continues to buzz in our ears grateful – when there was Touch me I’m sick on stage point since there was nothing to do, we were all contaminated. Friday was also the day of the very respected Tortoise, the Chicago band that is the more adventurous post-rock icon (which lives up to the genus name so) and that after the Mudhoney hurricane, rambled in the spaces open between jazz, rock, kraut and electronics with the elegance and instrumental knowledge that make their signature. By that time we moved in at dawn, as the Beach House gave the concert would end on the main stage, the second day of Primavera Sound. Let’s descend a few hours.

The sun was shining even when we saw him arrive, fragile and guided by some bandmates. He sat at the piano, gave a greeting to the crowd, asked the girls if they did hear, then asked the same to the boys, and went out music. The look may seem sometimes absent and the voice no longer reaches the acute and once – for it is there the son of guitarist Al Jardine, singing behind the father – but it is there, in those songs, music sharing, Brian Wilson seems to feel the happiness stolen a life too painful.

not immediately reached the Pet Sounds . Before there was I get around or Surfer girl , there was space to role, in “Guitar Hero”, Blondie Chaplin, South African musician who joined the Beach Boys in early 1970. Until Wilson announced without any apparatus, “Let’s get our album called Pet Sounds .” And he came. Would not it be nice , You still believe in me , That’s not me , Do not talk (put your head on my shoulder) . We hear it one by one, sticking to the original alignment, played unblemished by a Big Band veterans committed to doing well the masterpiece of the Beach Boys. The music is played by the genius work of disarming humanity, it was not new. But I heard it there, played and sung by the man who created it, has a moving effect.

white hair windblown, Brian Wilson inevitably announce God only knows . If there are songs perfect in pop history, this is one of them – and if love ever sounded so full and sincere music, we kindly ask you to show us where. For Wilson, however, this is simply “a song that Paul McCartney liked.” – Appreciation of the idol, it is clear, is the greatest compliment could you do

the are heard vibes and eardrums, get to hear four guitars, two keyboards, a harmonic and saxophone to recreate on stage the songs. Hear Pet Sounds and see if Brian Wilson Pet Sounds . We see as revealed in the introduction of I just was not made for These Times and how he I sometimes feel very sad is a terrible sadness that the melody comfort. We see the 1966 historical record to say goodbye to start another kind of celebration. First Good vibrations and Barbara Ann . After Surfin ‘USA danced from the first row to the last that you see there on top of the lawn that is the audience, and Fun fun fun , with the pace of Chuck Berry and that title, as curious to the end of the concert, this particular concert. Brian Wilson was with us and smiled. His music survives unscathed on stage. We owe him a lot. We hope he knows it.

Two and a half hours later that stage, the stage had become completely. It was not just the black night. It was also the black worn by the musicians and the singer. It was the backlit involving those people on stage in a mysterious gloom. It was the PJ Harvey’s music, the English singer recorded in The Hope Six Demolition Project , majestic and active, and the Primavera Sound proved bleak as demonic gospel, as haunted blues as jazz phantasmagoric .

Polly Jean, we know for a long, long time, guitar in tow, came from the band as a saxophonist – the instrument that played during the concert. PJ Harvey, who in Let England Shake in 2011, plunged into terrible of yesteryear wars memories to offer as a mirror of this present troubled, did not depart this imaginary territory in The Hope Six Demolition Project . the memories of World War I are gone. Hell is here and now. And this song, dark and proud, a terrible beauty, shows the sweeping way. Follow-on Mick Harvey and John Parish, old employees, accompany the drums and rufadas snare drums, saxophones blowing gravely or buzzing libertarians. We hear Ministry of Defense and hear Orange monkey , hear The wheel and hear the irony of devotional song titled Dollar dollar – and serenamos without resting before the light breaks through in Motown soul mode, the community of hope

we passed other albums and the environment does not change.. The shadows on the stage play and sing The words que maketh murder , Let England Shake . PJ Harvey retreats to its most distant past but 50ft Queenie , Down by the water and To bring you my love are not here merely classics recovered for 2016 alignment are blues raw and visceral, corner torn the guts, black enchantment as black, magnificently black, disturbing and inspiring, this was done drama concert and drama made action.

So, finally, the musicians dropped their instruments. One by one joined her voice to PJ Harvey. Wade in the water , sang. The gospel condemned yearning release. It is impossible to get out unscathed from a concert as well. When you do the history of the Primavera Sound, the edition this year and every year of the festival, PJ Harvey will figure it in a prominent place. Obligatorily.
