A review by XAVI DE GRACIA / XDEG@ERESMAS.COM

I WAS ONE OF THE 18.000 CRAZY PEOPLE OF BARCELONA THAT ENJOYED VERY MUCH WITH THE BAND IN THE OPENING GIG OF THE EUROPEAN TOUR.
AND IT WAS NOT A GOOD SHOW,LIKE SOME PEOPLE THINK,IT WAS A EXCELLENT SHOW AND I’LL EXPLAIN YOU WHY.
THE BAND PLAYED VERY WELL,WITH LOT OF ENERGY,AND I THINK THAT THEY FELT BETTER THAN EVER IN THE STAGE.
JON SANG LIKE IN THE BETTER OCCASIONS AND RICHIE WAS INCREDIBLE (LIKE ALWAYS) HE PLAYED THE DIFFERENT GUITARS WITH LOT OF POWER AND SANG ONE “I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU” THAT WE’LL NEVER FORGET IT.
AND THE CROWD WAS AMAZED FOR THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE BAND,AND THE INCREDIBLE START OF THE SHOW........BOUNCE,BAD NAME,STREETS,PRAYER,EVERYDAY,UNDIVIDED,FAITH,WANTED IT WAS DIFFICULT TO BREATHE.
IF I HADN’T SEE THE SHOW,I’D CRITISIZE SOME THINGS LIKE THAT JON SING BLAZE OF GLORY,OR RIGHT SIDE OF WRONG,OR REPEAT SHOUT THAT IS BEING SUNG SINCE 1989.
BUT I DON’T CRITISIZE NOTHING.BECAUSE WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE COMPLETE SHOW,AND FOR ME IT WAS BETTER THAN I EXPECTED.
IT’S TRUE THAT WE ALWAYS WAIT SOME SURPRISES....(WILD IS THE WIND,SOMETHING OF THESE DAYS ALBUM,OR DRY COUNTY) BUT I THINK THAT THERE WERE SOME SURPRISES.THE FACT THAT RICHIE SING A SONG IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD POINT, RAISE YOUR HANDS AT THE END OF THE SHOW OR IN THESE ARMS IN THE BEGINNING IN THE ENCORE,PERHAPS IS THAT WITH SO MANY SONGS IS DIFFICULT TO SATISFY EVERYBODY.
TO SUM UP 2 HOURS AND A HALF OF GOOD MUSIC, WE ONLY HAVE TO WISH DON’T HAVE TO WAIT SEVEN YEARS MORE TO SEE STILL THE BEST ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD.
