Tricky situation December 3, 2008

Filed under: events, music — Cis @ 3:49 am

Probabil ca nu mai trebuie sa povestesc ce dementa a fost la Tricky. Au avut timp pozele si filmuletele sa circule prin tot netul o saptamana intreaga. Nu stiu daca asa se intampla la toate concertele Tricky, dar trebuie sa apreciem ca ne-a fost dat sa experimentam si asa ceva.

Nu a fost deloc cum ma asteptam. Adica nu am auzit vocea soptita a “copchilului pacalicios” asa cum ma infioara ea acasa. Am auzit doar partea de tough ghetto guy si mai putin de mysterious hot lover care se strecoara in spatele tau si-ti spoteste ce bad things vrea sa-ti faca. Which wasn’t a bad thing, dar pt mine nu merge :o p. In general n-am avut impresia ca ma aflu in prezenta unui muzician, ci mai degraba in a unei atitudini. O atitudine high, nu aroganta, ci de miserupism si detasare, ceea ce nu e cea mai buna metoda de a crea o legatura cu publicul. Adica amandoi, si Tricky si Francesca abia ca au deschis ochii sa se uite in sala pe tot timpul concertului. Tricky se plimba cu microfoanele dupa el fara sa-i pese de stricaciunile pe care le lasa in urma…si oare avea nevoie de 2 microfoane pt echilibru sau pt ca si-a dat seama ca sunetul in Romania are nevoie de “intariri”?

In orice caz, faza cu cantatul din diafragma m-a lasat masca, n-aveam habar ca asa ceva e posibil… And Francesca’s voice rules btw… Ce m-a deranjat insa n-a fost faptul ca publicul a ajuns pe scena, ci comportamentul total deplasat al unora care il sufocau pe Tricky ca sa-si faca “poza cu maimutica” si se plimbau pe acolo ca niste groupies disperati sa nu piarda nicio oportunitate sa ia toata mana… Dar momentul cu pogo pe scena a fost de o barbarie totala…ok, omul era high si probabil ca totul i se parea funny si inaltator, dar cum sa faci pogo pe o scena la modul ala in care te puteai infinge fix intr-un suport de microfon sau sa dobori instrumentele sau monitoarele… Adica exista safe pogo si demented pogo si asta n-a fost tocmai cel potrivit pentru circumstantele date. Si ma foarte indoiesc ca toti entuziastii care au aterizat pe scena erau fani adevarati Tricky, asa cum erau probabil unii care erau vadit emotionati de experienta si l-au imbratisat tremurand pe idolul lor…

Ma rog, comedie mare fu…si nu la modul cool si vai cum am sfidat noi comunistii aia de la sala palatului si gorilele din echipa de securitate, ci la modul…penibil si caraghios, asa cum ii sade bine poporului roman. In concluzie, a meritat sa fac efortul sa merg singura la acest concert, am avut ce povesti dupa… Si chiar daca sunetul a cam scartait la inceput, spre sfarsit puteam auzi vocea tzatzei Francesca (purta o ie cumparata de la targul de arta populara de la sala palatului :o D) la potential maxim. Dar playlist-ul putea fi mult mai inspirat, chiar daca unele melodii care erau ravnite erau cantate cu alte vocaliste, sunt sigura ca Francesca ar fi facut fata sau ca s-ar fi putut gasi o formula in absentia.

Un Cohen umil, un Cohen modest, un Cohen grizonant, un Cohen bland, un Cohen indragostit, un Cohen zambaret, un Cohen batran, un Cohen care tzopaie de fericire, un Cohen intelept, un Cohen jucaus. Un Cohen pentru noi, romanii. Un Cohen care a facut 74 de ani pe teritoriu romanesc. O onoare. Un playlist mai mult decat satisfacator. Jane came by with Cohen. Cohen brought Jane with him. And hey, that’s no way to say good bye. Suzanne. Tower of song… If it be your will…. So long, Marianne… Hallelujah… 24 songs for Romania. And he is sweet…and he is kind…and he is thoughtful. And we’re his friends. He respects his band like nobody I’ve ever seen before. His voice is still in power. Am tipat de excitement cand am auzit “It’s 4 in the morning…”. Tocmai imi zisese Morunu ca nu a cantat asta decat o singura data in Grecia in turneul asta. My hopes were fading. And then… tocmai cand ma pregateam sa zbier “Famous Blue Raincoat” in sesiunea de bis-uri (6 la numar!), there it was… the song that gave meaning to my virtual identity. I was longing for a little “Please Don’t Pass Me By” ending, but I was too happy to even ask for more.

Cohen a primit 2 torturi mari si 3 sesiuni de happy bday singing from the crowd. He was grateful. He bowed and took his hat off. I can’t say more. It’s pointless. You had to be there.

Adormi-mi-as in raguseala-ti adanca…

Si tot nu-mi vine sa cred….

Da, stiu ca e terribly snobbish of me, but this is one thing that I did not want to miss. It’s one of those events you wanna be close to and breathe every little word. I’m gonna smile to Cohen and he’s gonna smile back, because he knows me. He feels me in his songs. I’m always there to swallow his words and keep them inside for the experience that will make them real and meaningful. I’ve never been more excited for a concert. I can’t believe it. Finally, in my arms. I will be seated deep in my velvet seat and I’ll go home with someone else. I’ll be praying for this song. Oh please don’t pass me by.

Love. Pure love.

Happy birthday.

Someone managed to bring a smile/tear to my face with a very touching and meaningful present to show her support for tomorrow’s 15 mins of torture. And obviously acum imi sta mintea la Cisnadioara si la biserici cu acustica buna. 8-> Melodia: Maria Raducanu – Nature Boy.

Thank you, dude! I loves ya mucho! >:D<

…has been obsessing me recently?

I’ll sing of the walls of the well and the house at the top of the hill
I’ll sing of the bottles of wine that we left on our old windowsill
I’ll sing of the years you will spend getting sadder and older
Oh love, and the cold, the oncoming cold

I’ll sing it in the wind for my faithful public. First thing in the darkness of the waves. It’s a promise.

In the trough of the waves
Which are pawing like dogs
Between pale-faced and grave
As I write in my log
And then I hear a noise from the hull
Seven days out to sea
And it is the damnable bell
And it tolls, I believe, that it tolls
It tolls for me!
And it tolls for me!

Bineinteles ca nu m-am gandit nicio clipa la nisiposu’ lu’ 1 maiu cat am stat aici inchisa-n mizeria asta de cutie plutitoare. Aici sunt la inaltime, dar tot inchisa. Va pot vedea, dar nu va pot atinge.

And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water, and he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower, and when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him, he said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them. But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open… forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone…

Only in a cold scenery can I manifest my warmness.
