IN Alive: boss are older – TVI24

already 2016?

The 1975, Biffy Clyro, Robert Plant, Pixies and The Chemical Brothers. If we take the first, the alignment may seem 10 years ago, up to 20, if we ignore the seconds only met the “boom” of success in the last decade, but no, this is even the composition of the first day of NOS Alive 2016. but do not be fooled by the apparent direction of the text. There is nothing wrong with that, on the contrary. What a way to mark the start of the 10th edition of the festival.

A day dedicated to rock, the new and the old, who also joined the electronic desenjoar to the ears of the guitars.

it was 18:00. LA already had given the starting gun and left the Heineken stage for Portuguese The Happy Mess, and Nudozurdo had done the same by DJ and producer Xinobi – who was the conversation with TVI24 times before the concert – in Clubbing stage when the 1975 British took to the main stage. Still a young band, the youngest to pass by, who came to present “I like it When You sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it”, the second album, released in February.

Before an audience that was not even half of what would be the British began what would be the trend of the rest of the day (and night): a selection of good allies chords a good voice that managed to focus the eyes away from all other things they were for about one hour. The defining moments were the same at the beginning and end of the performance, when the group played “Love Me” and “Fri”, respectively. The first theme is the new album debut single, the second of the above.

Pause in Walk Marítimo de Algés. Not too long, just to sit down, because tempers were about to heat up. About 25 minutes after leaving the youngest band come on stage the Biffy Clyro, hardly knew the audience that there was a hurricane.

The success is recent, considerably arrived with the last three albums, but attention : these three “boys” go it 20 years ago, and it saw itself. There were the following leading names of the music bands, and this would have been the best performance of the main stage. The noisiest was certainly the most energy too, but when it precedes Robert Plant (already here we) is not easy.

The concert started with “Wolves of Winter”, new music, the freshest seventh output album “Ellipsis” which comes out tomorrow, and had a kind of premiere here in Lisbon. An album that marks a period of “rejuvenation of the band” – told us two members in an interview in the afternoon – evident here in Walk Marítimo de Algés. Yes, because of tiredness or sign.

Neither of them or the public, especially from abroad. Among them many British, who showed to know the letters back to front, and instrumental in detail, recognizing perfectly the moments where it was time to jump in group. It is worth noting the particular enthusiasm demonstrated when the group played “Machines”, “Animal Style”, another of the new album themes, and during the penultimate of acting “Many of Horror”.

Roughly one-hour show leaving the head spin, but not too much, because it was too early to leave. The Biffy Clyro leave the ship and deliver the helm the captain and his sailors, Robert Plant & amp; The Sensational Space Shifters. Yes, Captain, because the performance of the night was even him.

The most recent generations, or uninterested in Rock, maybe not attribute great importance to name Robert Plant. The story will be different to clarify that it is the former lead singer of the legendary Led Zeppelin, one of the greatest rock bands ever. Many of Plant fans, even not know most of their repertoire solo – even that year career already exceed the group – and will continue to see him, forever, as the voice of “Stairway to Heaven”. For these, there is good news, Plant also not forget the Zeppelin, and more than 30 years after the end of the band, continues to lead the major themes of the group to the stage.

“Black Dog,” ” Baby, I’m Gonna Leave You “,” Black Dog “and” Whole Lotta Love “are some of these examples, and also heard today in Lisbon. Always with a “personal” touch, with the help of the Sensational Space Shifters – the group that accompanies it – sound different from what is heard on a disc or video of a performance of Zeppelin, but carry such nostalgia, which could be more different still and no one atraveria the contest. It is a living legend on stage, there are no complaints.

The issues with the Space Shifters do not serve at all, just to fill space Zeppelin songs, but they are certainly more “deleted”, especially if we look at the excitement caused in public. Although, it is worth noting, many young people seemed unaware of the figure on stage. Speaking in the figure, Robert Plant showed that is still up to the praise that drew him in the 70s, the voice, and the difficult treble reach, are still within reach of the British musician.

Desengane If, however, who think Plant was the only way in tonight. After the concert, and a break of about 20 minutes, came on stage other heavy name of rock music:. ​​Pixies

On the stage Heineken had passed Vintage Trouble, John Grant. Onstage Clubbing, Bob Moses and Branko has also had given letters. They acted at that moment Wolf Alice and SG Lewis on the mentioned stages, respectively, but most festival-goers wanted to see Pixies and was visible from the first floor of the hundreds of people who have gone on apace when they heard the first chords played by the Americans .

Black Francis and company met with fans and gave a good concert. Although the voice of Francis has had ups and downs during the operation, it is far from being criticized after so many years on the road. It’s a shame not to have used to communicate a bit with the audience, they came and went without addressing the public in words, the only “fault” – if you can call it. – Concert

“where is my Mind” and “Here comes your man” were clearly the highlights of the night, the few times when I heard the audience in unison, and a general applause.

ended, thus, the “rock performance” on the main stage, passing the witness to the Heineken stage, which would act Sean Riley & amp; The Slowriders that followed the Soulwax. On the main stage the end of the evening was devoted to electronics, by the hand of veterans The Chemical Brothers.

“Hey Boy Hey Girl” opened hostilities that would be an act at the height of the British already accustomed the your audience. The greatest hits double echoed through the promenade in Algés, in what was also a light show.

Of not abandoram the room were very few who remained seated, so the duty was . met

Another duty, off the light, that is, that it is always the latter, he was in charge of 2manydjs, the stage Heineken, and Throes + the Shine in Clubbing stage – the latter who were chatting with the TVI24 in the afternoon – who acted after Junior Boys. Ended the first day of Alive 2016 this Friday for more, especially for Years & amp; Years, Foals, Tame Impala and Radiohead.
