Heroes del Silencio, Seville 20-10-2007

on saturday 20 There was a before and after in one of the chapters of Spanish musical history. Maybe an event of this type, with our musicians, from here, do not repeat itself given the list of factors that are so difficult to comply with so that this can occur again. And if it repeats, I doubt that more than 70.000 people be one voice, one heart, a single heartbeat…a night of allies and complicity.

It is impressive to see a stadium like La Cartuja with more than 70.000 personas. Of, in the stadium surroundings, I could feel that all the people gathered there were silently uniting, with gestures, sharing drinks, with laughter, reigning a kind of good vibes to form a big family.

Between plane and plane, flying over the stadium and the Sevillian sky and with good music from the speakers to liven up the wait, the desired moment arrived. The same city that saw HDS say goodbye a few years ago, Now I had the chance to vibrate with them again..

In rigorous black and with a striking setting the first chords of The pond opened the long wait for a magical night full of accumulated sensations, of pure audiovisual spectacle and with total dedication from both the public and the band.

“Seville, buenas noches, a pleasure to be with you, We want to thank you for how great this looks” were the first words of a not fully recovered Bunbury, but very motivated. Proof of this were his endless walks around the stage, across, forward and backward, proving to be very good and seeking complicity with a surrendered public.

They were followed by topics such as The letter, the fantastic Blessed, Young, Barada Mermaid,

Lotto flower…and all this combined with carefully selected images for each topic, for every moment and phrases like “All this that we have set up would not be possible if you were not there..

As I have repeatedly repeated to everyone who asks me, part of the show was visual. Although one of the undisputed protagonists and that we cannot ignore was that great stage, with a central platform and a connecting walkway between the two points. Thence, As if by magic, a second battery appeared, planted in the middle of this second stage to play songs like The Wound, Awakening and the first single from the hands legendary heroes and so continue to return to have your hair stand on end with topics like The sea does not stop or the The spirit of wine.

Stand out the very special moment of “The right spark‘, when the stadium lights They went out and Bunbury asked for everyone's collaboration to cover them with lighters., cell phones or even play station, if it was necessary, to this classic ballad.

Although it is true that at no time could I see group complicity as such, Everyone stayed in place and this did not affect the final result., where we got everything we wanted: relive the past, leave us the voice, feel like a piece of your story was floating in the air and where thousands of other people were feeling the same as you. A whole show in capital letters.

Let no one get carried away by nostalgia and the desire to want more.. Heroes have not resumed their career as a band and this nod in 2007 (whether for economic reasons or not) and after seeing this concert in Seville he confirms that their careers are going to follow different paths. Good proof of this is that Bunbury is finalizing the preparations for his next solo work.
