Here I am again after a long pause. And back at the Sonic Youth concert in Ferrara, to whom I had spoken.
Friday, July 6. At 13.30 me and my three friends from cream in the car, at a time of Ferrara. I was hoping to get there first, but eventually parked around 17:30 because of the damn traffic usually around Bologna.
After a carefree ride in the city center, we arrive in Piazza del Duomo, next to the Castle. We hear them at some point the music and realize that Sonic was feeling. We thought we would get closer to the square of the castle where there was the stage, hoping to follow through the gates a few fragments evidence. Only that the square was open: the Sonic were doing the soundcheck to open gates in front of everyone!
We then slings under the stage and we have seen in practice to a mini concert about twenty minutes! They have proven especially the songs of the last album.
After the tests, Ranaldo and Shelley were on stage while Moore and Gordon get off the stage and off into the streets of Ferarri. Extremely available, take photos and sign autographs. Ecstatic, I could not find the strength to jump up to Gordon, even though it is one of my most secret dreams ...
After eating the sumptuous and huge sandwiches prepared by my friend Ali, also known as "Chef", we were shipped out of the Square, waiting for the official opening of the gates. In the meantime I realized that the sandwiches Ale was not so great because I was still gripped by the pangs of hunger. So I abbandondato my chums and I went to get a flatbread in a shack a few minutes from there. While waiting for that nice lady Emilia I prepare my baked flat bread and mozzarella, it's been there before Lee Ranaldo bike! Ferrara was shooting, map in hand, waiting for the concert. Then I cast on Ranaldo and look a bit '!
I'm the one without sunglasses ... I must really thank
Ale for rolls shriveled, without which I would not have got hungry, I would not go looking for something to eat and I would not have caught Ranaldo!
The strange twists of life ...
21 hours, the concert part of My Cat Is An Alien (I did not happen ....). Around 22
the concert begins.
And Sonic Youth playing Daydream Nation in full for their own! And what a beginning! They start with Teen Age Riot , played very well. They make the entire album without a break, with an increasing participation and performance. On stage there are only four of them. Concluding the concert dedicated to the album with Trilogy piece very challenging.
I'm no expert, but the feeling is that the Sonic have faithfully performed the album in 1988, updating certain passages, by better coordinating everything and taking care of every single part. The performance seemed perfect. Daydream Nation has always impressed me to the expressive violence of the songs, that sound is not perfect and often crude. When running the office of violence was felt throughout, the sound was less harsh, but always powerful.
Then they played again for a good half hour, making six pieces of the last album: Reena, Incinerate, Jams Run Free, Pink Steam, Or, What a Waste .
short, a great concert, that has honored a landmark album that twenty years after its release still retains its freshness and sonic impact. They then move certainly less, but still play the guitar with the arches against the scaffolding of the stage, raised above the head, thrown against the speaker. Kim Gordon, still during the performance of Daydream Nation, has been unleashed in the last few songs, jumping, moving around on stage, doing "circle" ... with a short, tight dress, in spite of his 54 years!
conclude with a bit 'of links to movies.
Here are some concert footage of Ferrara.
here instead to see concert of 2002, on a completely different stage, to understand the position he has today. And here, to remember the old days, young and rowdy.
Years pass, but they are always Sonic.
Sonic Youth is still alive.
(Thanks, Ale)
