Ieri sera una serata che sara' impossibile dimenticare.
Come non ripensare tutta notte ai 90,000 fedeli (nel senso di fan, ovviamente) che rimangono incollati ad ascoltare l' Ave Maria che chiude il concerto, sotto quel palco che --dice qualcuno-- ricorda cosi' tanto la cattedrale di barcellona, la Sagrada Familia?
Sono arrivato a s.siro moderatamente gasato: preoccupato per le condizioni vocali di bono, contento di rivedere mia moglie e di farle un regalo, pieno comunque di aspettativa (per quanto esplicitato da P.Vites in questo articolo: Paolo Vites su ilsussidiario.net ).
L'atmosfera (salamella e salsiccia con rapporto peso/prezzo equivalente allo zafferano..) e' di festa, si capisce subito.
I supporter fanno due gran pezzi, l'audio e' sorprendetemente eccellente e lo stadio gia' quasi pieno saluta e batte le mani. I soliti cafoni in piedi alla balustra non riescono a rovinare il senso di attesa.
Le luci si spengono e comincia un'ora di rock a ritmo devastante. Davvero tirato, non me l'aspettavo.
Highlights assolute: il medley I Still Havent Found + Stand By Me e poi, dedicata a Michael Jackson, il medley Angel of Harlem + Man In The Mirror .
Al culmine della esaltazione chiama sul palco la figlia, per festeggiare il suo compleanno e le dedica Party Girl . Party Girl! Sono tornato back 15 years.
I sit down (completely sweaty, of course). Even Bono and charges for a couple of pieces can not fully control the situation, fails to close the songs they sing well a cappella with the audience.
At this point goes to the point: the rosary out from under his shirt and introduces the dedication of the evening: Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma's political prisoners from '90. questioning each of us, as we were not in 90.000 but in 10, what are you doing for justice?
comes even an exhortation to Berlusconi because 'keep the promise on the debt: it is not' too late, there are 3 days before the G8. And dedicated "One" (deserves for that!)
As said before Beautiful day: they are difficult times, so each is worth all the time (that is eternity ').
Pride, Sunday Bloody Sunday with words in Arabic on a green background, With or without you .. catered 'for all.
The voice, which too often had been a bit 'covered by the sound, but is out with arrogance and grace shining on the moving closing Moment of Surrender.
effects spectacular scenery exaggerated. But that seems natural. And 'in fact so obvious that the "point" of the evening and not' the show's sake, that these effects scenic seem "exaggerated." U2 put it this way ', no compromises are always one step ahead.
The final embrace between the four reminds us how special this band is, in fidelity 'and solidity'. A unique band, even in this.
And then, as mentioned, they give us the notes of the Ave Maria were there to point out that 'all (we like Bono and his) for a great, great over' the choir of 90,000 voices, about the size 'of the structure of the stage who goes to heaven.
Moment of Surrender
