Madrid, May 21 (EFE) .- Can a concert of Bruce Springsteen leave someone unsatisfied, though the sound (like today in Madrid) is not the best, if endures this contagious force that invites collective communion and a repertoire that flows past the river which aims to honor, spilling over in the form of huge anthology?
it seems impossible, especially when “the river tour” came the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid very grown after his previous stint in Barcelona, where the European tour began, and San Sebastian (north); also he had proven desire of the Boss and his E-Street Band after 4 years away from the city (55,000 tickets, the full capacity, were sold in three hours).
The same seems to you from Upon arrival to this side of the Atlantic the leitmotiv of the tour-to honor the 35th birthday of one of its most mythic records is an anecdote against the US concerts, where he played whole. This eliminates the harshest passages and plug at full power the engine of the boat with a fuel based on greatest hits.
It is also true that the public was delivered and also sold from the first track, “Badlands” , as powerful as the bulk of the concert, despite the blurred sound in which most of the time the words and instrumental nuances drown.
“Good night, Madrid!” shouted ten minutes after the stipulated time, 21 hours after leaving time for the last stragglers to their seats without major problems finally to the stadium despite the minimum services decreed by a strike by Metro.
Ni projections or intricate play of light. craftsman in the office of inflaming the masses expert, Springsteen is enough music, three huge screens, a wall of guitars that at times was armed with six men and some facile another nod as a “Come on, Madrid! Louder “shouted in Castilian.
Then comes his first bath mass with” Sherry darling “which follow” Two hearts “,” Wrecking ball “and” My City of Ruins, “which goes up the water level with this powerful “crescendo” that seems to drink from the spiritual songs, before establishing a first attack against the floodgates on the back of “Hungry Heart”.
the playful “Out in the street “finds its ability to encourage camaraderie, the collective energy exchange, beyond differences of class (the same concert is an amalgam of the most diverse social profiles).
the river slows its pace then to address more dense, but equally pleasing bends, especially with “the river”, the song that could justify tonight and this whole tour, when in the dark springs his harmonica and poach the public light in the stands, as a planisferio sudden.
So night march. The river Springsteen wore light, without interruption, right by the standards that usually the artist, but with a feeling of channel marking automation.
Then the Boss stirred the waters. The sound becomes sharper suddenly. After two dozen songs, the game dregs country of “Working on a highway” engages with the optimistic “Waiting on a sunny day” and the flow increases. And right in the middle of the most spirited passages, a child jumps on stage and he picks him in his arms. The concert is a “oooh” generalized.
From there the ecstasy breaks. Flock “Because the night”, “Human touch” one another (built as an accomplice dialogue with his wife, Patti Scialfa) and “The Rising” … The audience raises his arms in jubilation and devotion.
There is still the best, with “Born in the USA”, “Born to run,” “Glory Days”, the always huge, “Dancing in the dark”, which allows a boy fulfill his desire ” dancing with his redheaded wife, “as he clubbing guitar with another girl who almost steals the show.
the memory of Clarence Clemons through” Tenth avenue freeze-out “can only increase the emotional component of the event, which seems to conclude after three hours and 15 minutes or so with “Bobby Jean” and the classic Top Notes “Twist and shout”.
But there is still one last sigh . Reappears alone, it is planted on the tables and interpreted in acoustic format “Thunder Road”, overflowing with that last drop completely the dam. Open up the waters, he has become the chief city. EFE
