It was the most anticipated concert and what made exhaust the second day of NOS Alive, but not convinced at first. Radiohead closed Friday to the sound of “Karma Police” after revisiting many of the successes that mark his career. But let’s start at the beginning.
According to festival day, the second flood. The NOS Alive exhausted three days and today was visible sea of people promised from the start
Once sounded the first chords on the main stage by the hand of British music trio electro-pop Years & amp.; Years, as hundreds of people faced the scorching sun outside the main stage not to lose pinch than there was going to happen to one in the morning.
Formed in 2015, Years & amp; Years reached the tops with “Kings” in 2015 and four months later with “Shine”. Therefore, it is not surprising that before even tiny audience, this trio has pulled his second best-known single to grab the audience and lead you to follow the band to reach the “King”.
While the British showed that mass were made on the festival’s main stage next door, in Clubbing, was beginning the “NOS Alive and Ours”, a festival initiative that had as curator of the day DJ Kamala. Over several hours acted Portuguese names as Side Neighbors, World Second and Sam The Kid, HMB and Filipe Gonçalves – who brought Carminho and act on stage – and Da Chick – who was chatting with the TVI24 in the afternoon. – among others
in the Heineken stage fell to Soulvenir, the winning band of the 1st edition of the EDP Live Bands Brazil, the honor of opening day. Followed Jagmar Ma, Courtney Barnett, Carlão and Father John Misty, who served at the same time of Tame Impala.
The salvation came from the stage next to
“Josh, we love you” , shouted someone on our side while Joshua Tillman, or Father John Misty , acted on stage Heineken NOS Alive. And rightly so. The US was one of the stars of the night with a concert in his image: a moment of catharsis. Why it is that in music, after all, lies salvation.
With the full beard that characterizes, Father John Misty is a restless musician, expansive and with a hint of extravagance. Traverses the stage from one end to the other, throws the guitar, the microphone loose, goes to public, returns to the stage, goes to the public again. It is so exorcised their ghosts – that so often can also be ours. It is a process of liberation that begins, of course, the lyrics. In “Bored in the USA” goes so far as to ask: “Save me, white Jesus” (Save me, white Jesus)
It was the first time he worked in Lisbon, although passed by others. national stage. And triumphed. Even with Radiohead concert about to start, the audience did not budge the Heineken stage, bewitched by the genius and the madness of Father John Misty.
While Father John Misty, on the main stage worked the Tame Impala, which brought the US Alive sexy psychedelia directly from Australia. The group gave an energetic and vibrant concert that left the audience alight. So that, often, more naked bodies than normal were caught red-handed on the screens of the main stage.
We already knew that the band was very cherished by the Portuguese public, especially after the last two albums, “lonerism” opened the door to more songs catchy and “Currents”, 2015 He confirmed the trend. Back, was a first album, “Innerspeaker” full of effects and textures that provided less conventional compositions, but more interesting.
Still, even knowing that Tame Impala already has a cohesive place in the heart of Portuguese public was impressive spell between the band and fans that involved the whole concert. Especially in subjects most popular course, like “Let It Happen” or “Elephant”. Frantic bodies, heels, hands in the air. There was even entitled to an explosion of confetti.
Before, they had served the British Foals, who returned to the enclosure in which debuted in Portugal in 2011. The band Yannis Philippakis brought the latest album “What Went down. ” A more rock disc or, if you like, with a “more dramatic landscape” – in the words of guitarist Jimmy Smith, who was chatting with the TVI24 , a few hours before the concert.
There is much that the Oxford group has captured a wide audience. Gone are the days of experimental atmosphere and undergorund featuring the band’s first album, “Antidotes” (2008). And here, it is noted. The energy of the riffs of Foals infected the audience with the latest album hits such as “What Went Down” or “Mountain At My Gates”, or themes of the previous “Holy Fire” as “You Do not Have my Number”. In between, there was the song that propelled the group’s career: “Spanish Sahara”, the “Total Live Forever”.
A small detail: after having reacted to the UK referendum results on the European Union, in Glastonbury, the Brexit again be remembered by the British. The drummer, Jack Beaven, wore a T-shirt that read “do not want to kill you European Union”
Ladies and gentlemen. Radiohead
It was as if suddenly all stopped to that Radiohead should go up on stage. 22:45, when the band of Thom Yorke took the stage, there was silence in Walk Marítimo de Algés. It was fate that was going to sing, but they were Radiohead returning the land luso after the concert at the same venue in 2012, and after four years away from the stage.
In the last concert in Lisbon, they promised they would not take ten years – were given five concerts in Portugal in 2002 – to return to the arms of the Portuguese public (and not only because there are many foreigners in this festival). And they fulfilled. The English band returned to Portugal to present the album “The moon shaped pool”, which brings new themes and others who had already been drafted or played live for several years.
The concert began warm with the last theme of the band – “Burn the Witch” – and who saw the side seemed to take the view that it had already plucked. Conversations coffee were extended for several minutes, such as visits to social networks and many selfies as Thom Yorke sang there a few meters away. Perhaps the fault was of little clear sound coming from the stage, perhaps the fault of the lack of interaction of the band with the public.
But heated and closed with a flourish – “Karma Police” – not before visiting the most anticipated music for most of the audience that was in the Walk Marítimo de Algés. As soon as the first beats of “Creep” – who returned to alignment after several years away – rang out in the second encore, the crowd was not made rogada and immediately started to show that the letter had been beautifully decorated
.
in between, classics like “Reckoner”, “Idioteque”, “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” and of course, the long “Paranoid Android”.
over the course of about two hours concert, the band went through 24 songs, including some of the latest album themes “the Moon Shaped Pool” – released about two months – and not slept the many who chose to watch the show sitting all over the room.
the end of the concerts on the main stage did not dictate the end of the party and although many have left the room, there were also those who rumasse to the stage right next door. After all, The Chick had promised a fight on stage and a few meters ahead of the Two Door Cinema Club opened the night for the Hot Chip, which ended the second day of NOS Alive.
The third and final day festival, which celebrates its 10th edition, with the presence of Arcade Fire and M83 on the main stage.
