VIERNES 24 SEGUNDO DÍA EN EL AZKENAROCK 2011
Te levantas con el sol ahogándote dentro de la tienda, tomas unos batidos , algún zumo, unos bollos y dispuestos a vivir otro día de Azkena con apenas dos horas de sueño y muchos kilómetros sobre las espaldas, pero son tres días para saborear al máximo y no pensamos dejar de hacerlo salvo que nuestro cuerpo diga ¡basta!.
Lo primero es darnos una ducha en los Frontones, el año pasado 1€ y este 1,90€ (aquí con la crisis suben los precios) pero bueno , se agradece una ducha caliente y en buenas condiciones (ya sabéis como son las del camping..no coment). Tras la ducha un cafecito caliente y dirección a la Plaza de la Virgen Blanca , un año más podremos disfrutar de conciertos gratuitos aunque realmente no motivan mucho verlos este año…. El calor aprieta lo suyo y tras dar una vuelta decidimos empezar a tomar unos pinchos y unas birras frías, vemos gran parte del concierto de imitador de Elvis (Rob Kingsley) que no estuvo mal , bailamos de lo lindo y disfrutamos de los clásicos del “Rey”, evidentemente para las Vegas Rob K. está bien, pero para el Azkena prefiero indiscutiblemente a “El Vez” del cual recordamos con añoranza el concierto que dio el año pasado en la plaza a mas de 30º algo inolvidable.
La tarde la pasamos a la sombra alrededor del camping bebiendo entre otras cosas “monster energy” fresquito, que repartían en un todo terreno acompañado de unas buenas azafatas y mejor banda sonora… se agradece un trago frío con el calor que hacía en Vitoria esa tarde…..
Tras el descanso , aprovisionarnos de birra fresca , hielo y algo de comer para la noche… nos dirigimos hacia el festival, donde alguno de los colegas ya estaban disfrutando de Blue Rodeo, los cuales parece ser hicieron una actuación muy buena destacando su sonido Americana… en este caso hablo de oídas.
Atom Rumba muy garageros tocaron en la carpa, los ví a lo lejos mientras nos refrigerábamos y cogíamos sitio para ver a Cheap Trick… que concierto si señor… las guitarras perfectas parecían siempre estar preparadas para hacernos disfrutar, y la voz de Robin Zander sin duda alguna la mejor del festival … ya le gustaría a muchos de su edad estar como él… realmente increíble , los que tengan la oportunidad de ver los conciertos grabados por la Eitb lo podrán comprobar.. esa chaqueta blanca con el gorro a juego y pantalones pitillos blancos, joder parecía una estrella del rock y realmente se lució sobre el escenario… indiscutiblemente en cuanto tocaron “I Want You To Want Me” mas rockera que nunca nos dejaron a todos con la boca abierta. Ah y pusieron de moda el reparto de púas, en cuanto finalizó Cheap Trick todos los grupos quisieron ser como ellos y empezar a dar púas a doquier.. hasta creo que tenían una competición de quien las lanzaba mas lejos… y el guitarra mil y un guiños a chicas rubias a …. Un puñetero espectáculo. Al final hasta tuve la gran suerte de que dos de esas púas cayeran sobre mi cabeza, un buen recuerdo del concierto sin duda alguna.
A continuación tocaban Bad Brains, creo que hice una buena elección en verlos un rato desde la lejanía , no sonaban nada bien y dudo que lo hicieran hacia el final del concierto , pero mejor no opino demasiado. Decidimos ir a la carpa Monster donde actuaban los australianos Dirty Yorks a los cuales si me apetecía ver, es una banda prácticamente desconocida pero yo llevaba un año escuchándolos. Su directo ganó fuerza poco a poco, finalizando inclusos entusiasmando a mas de uno. Repito, no son los Black Crowes, pero vale la pena verlos, un buen show.
Clutch tocaron a las 2:40 de la madrugada, no se hasta que punto una banda es capaz de disfrutar tocando a esas horas. Lo cierto es que no estuvieron nada mal y la gente estábamos deseosos de más rock con lo cual hicieron un largo bis… mientras se escuchaba la carpa a todo volumen , los Clutch salieron y nos deleitaron con un nuevo repertorio , eso sí antes el cantante comentó: que era la primera vez que tocaban a la hora del desayuno jajaja. Sin duda el tema "Electric Worry" ,mas conocido por todos nosotros, levantó el ánimo de todos…. Buen concierto aunque el horario si que no era el mas apropiado.
Toca descansar si Clutch dicen que es la hora de desayunar, será que para nosotros es hora de dormir.... El Sábado nos espera un gran día de rock.
CHRONIC IN ENGLISH
FRIDAY THE SECOND DAY 24 AZKENAROCK 2011
You wake with the sun drowning in the store, take a few shakes, some juice, buns and willing to live another day Azkena with just two hours of sleep and many miles on the backs, but three days to enjoy the most and not unless we quit our body says enough is enough. The first is to give us a shower on the pediments, last year the € 1 and € 1.90 (here the crisis prices rise) but hey, thanks a hot shower and in good condition (you know how is the camping .. no comment). After the shower a hot coffee and direction to the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca, a year can enjoy free concerts but not really highly motivated to see this year .... The heat is your thing and once we had decided to start taking back some snacks and a beer cold, we see much of the concert by Elvis impersonator (Rob Kingsley) that was not bad, we danced a great time and enjoyed the classics " King, "evidently to Vegas Rob K. okay, but unquestionably prefer Azkena "El Vez" which fondly remember the concert he gave last year in the square to over 30 º unforgettable. The afternoon was spent in the shade around the campsite drinking among other things "monster energy" cooler, dealing in a jeep accompanied by a good hostess and best soundtrack ... a cold drink is welcome to hot it was that evening in Vitoria ... .. After the break, stock up on fresh birra, ice and snacks for the night ... we went to the festival, where some of my colleagues were already enjoying Blue Rodeo, which seems to be made a very good performance highlighting his Americana sound ... in this case I speak from hearsay. I threw myself in front of the main stage to see Reverend Horton Heat ... And now, after yesterday, today could see that the sound was really awful Azkena very low and sometimes even distorted .. a shame because the concert R.H.H. was really good in their set list, leaning far to his new job, the most country of the 10 has released, but did not hesitate to play songs from previous lp's something more cane and this is appreciated. I sincerely believe that the stage made them great, although it was a good repertoire was something wrong with this concert of the sound. Atom very garageros Rumba played in the tent, I saw them from afar as we refrigerábamos and we caught site to see Cheap Trick concert yes sir ... that ... the perfect guitar seemed to always be prepared to make us enjoy, and Robin Zander's voice no doubt have the best of the festival ... and would like many of his age to be like him ... really amazing, those who have the opportunity to see concerts recorded by Eitb can check it .. the white jacket with matching hat and white skinny pants, fuck like a rock star and really stood on stage as ... unquestionably played "I Want You To Want Me" more rock than ever left us all with his mouth open. Oh and made fashionable the distribution of spikes, as Cheap Trick ended all groups wanted to be like them and start giving barbed everywhere .. I even think they had a competition of who throw farther ... and the guitar a thousand and one winks at girls blondes .... A bloody show. In the end I even had the good fortune that two of these spikes fall on my head, a good memory of the concert without a doubt. Then they played Bad Brains, I think I made a good choice to see them from afar for a while, did not sound at all and I doubt they did towards the end of the concert, but I think better not too. We decided to go to the tent where they played the Australian Monster Dirty Yorks to which if I wanted to see, is a virtually unknown band but I was a year listening. Their live gradually gained strength, even bewitching finishing more than one. Again, not the Black Crowes, but it's worth seeing a good show. I think Primus took the red light by Rob Zombie, from the distance did not look absolutely nothing, sensed the shadows and only displays the heads of two huge astronauts had on each side of the stage. Primus Primus are obviously are a difficult group to follow his rhythm section is really good, but for some like this that you will get saturated writes .. which would look half hour highlight the issue that comes up with Les Claypool monkey mask whamola playing, instant hard to explain, so I leave a video ... My brother told me to see the Rival Sons, and we did .. fuck that a good decision.After the Dirty Y. garagero needed more rock and wore Rival Sons, in my opinion better than DY. Fucking dance like kids enjoying Zeppelliana singer's voice and blues band details, ... were the big surprise for me as a band revelation. It was time Q.O.T.S.A. and I had it right, passed absolutely, and I had the chance to see them there in 2005 and had the lure of Mark Lanegan, now better get into the store, enjoy a good conversation with colleagues while sipping something ... .. Clutch action until it was time to relax the body. Clutch played at 2:40 am, not how far a band can enjoy playing at these times. The truth is that were not bad and people were more willing to rock with which they did a long ba ... while listening to the tent at full volume, the clutch went out and delighted us with a new repertoire, yes before the singer said : it was the first time they touched the breakfast time lol. No doubt the song "Electric Worry", better known to us all, raised everyone's spirits .... Good show though the schedule if it was not the most appropriate.Clutch plays rest if say it is breakfast time, is that for us it's bedtime .... On Saturday we expect a great day of rock.
MUY BUENO.....
