The lineup for the second day of the event showed Sandy Kilpatrick as the first one on stage but that didn’t happen. Don’t know why that didn’t happen (later the organization would announce his act right after The Waterboys), but the event “jumped” right to the second band.
Because of that, first ones on stage were Lux Yuri with their “masqueraded” Rock. I’ve seen them playing before and maintain my opinion, four talented musicians skilled enough to go further, but I leave 2 suggestions: a better use of time between songs and the inclusion of a fifth element just for singing, leaving João Oliveira with just the guitars. Apart from that it was a cheerful gig.
As the Sun was hiding behind the trees Virgem Suta got up on stage. With a setlist which included known songs such as “Vovó Joaquina” and some new ones like “Algo Fica Ao Passar Dela” that will appear on their recent work, we got easily hooked by the Popular Ethnical Rock that warmth the late-afternoon. Good mood and exhilaration ruled the most certainly affectionate gig of the entire event.
Time now for a trip into the past to listen to a man that many consider a legend in Psychedelic Rock, Jim Morrison. From the clothes to the moves and with a timbre that resembled the original, we just needed to close our eyes to believe we were back to 1969 at that mythical concert in Madison Square Garden. Great show that left the audience hooked; first highlight of the night, the song “Roadhouse Blues” with guest appearance from Daniel Peters playing harmonica; second highlight, a “thank you” ("obrigado") in Portuguese followed by “Break On Through (To The Other SIde)”.
And now the headliner of the entire event, the Scottish band The Waterboys. Full of good mood, Mike Scott and friends gave a hell of a concert with classics that all knew and sang along (“Don’t Bang The Drum”, “Fisherman’s Blues”, “A Girl Called Johnny”...), some played in extended versions and others in alternative versions (like the encore “The Hole Of The Moon”, played with a Funky tune). Wasn’t for the last minute lineup change and it would have been the perfect final for all attending, among which we could see numerous foreigners.
Finally, Sandy Kilpatrick was able to play his songs. Many of the audience had already left; let’s not forget it was nearly 2 am. There were only 50 or so but that didn’t pinched a bit on the professionalism of the band that played a nice, warmly set of love songs that warmth a cold night.
