Sunday 7 of November of 2004 // Pabellon Anaitasuna
(PAMPLONA-IRUÑA)
The news of the meeting of EUROPE and the subsequent summer tour by festivals from across europe was all an explosion in the mentideros of the Hard Rock European, and now already with new work under the arm, is the moment to calibrate the true caliber and appeal of the band that no longer comes with the labelAll those of the Law, presenting its finalizes work “Start from the dark”.
The tour, as soon as I publish this being a courteous success, with full in some places as Madrid, and with a good entrance (some 3.000 people) in the concert that concerns us in Iruña-Pamplona. In the musical thing? Though it is just to recognize for my part that never I was lover of this swedish band, is also of justice to give faith of it lived this night in the from Navarre capital, a great concert of Hard Rock.
As it is custom in almost all the bands, EUROPE opened its concert with a new theme, “Got to have faith”, which, even being the first theme that always awakes great expectation by the desires of seeing the band in direct, the truth is that step without grief neither glory. Probably experts of this fact, the two following themes were two of the but acquaintances of their album of 1988 “Out of this world”: “Ready or not” and “Superstitious” and these if they obtained the logical answer of the respectable one. With bright lights and an almost impeccable sound they present us another new theme, “America” with a Joey Tempest entregadísimo rotating on if same and being moved from a side to another by the setting trying to infect al public that in its majority contemplated as mere observers like the band executed the theme.
Joey is a good one frontman and knows as to cause to be moved to the people, a simple question al I publish on the holder of their second album and they transfer us to 1984 with the theme “Wings of tomorrow” showing us the facet but Heavy of the swedish formation. “Let the good times rock”, sixth theme at night and third already of its “Out of this world”, a spectacular play of lights shows us and to a band of Hard Rock perfectly adapted and happy to be together on a setting, Tempest in perfect state of form –maintaining the physical attraction that fame in the eighties gave him- and a guitarist, that as if had that to show something,It nails practically each alone one that touches. The I publish already delivered says good-bye the theme with canticles and the band responds with a new trip in the time al to give us one of the better at night, “Seven doors hotel” of its album debut of 1983 that was sung al unison by the I publish and Joey Tempest.
The shift touches him al first theme of at night of his album but acquaintance, “Heart of stone” and subsequently Joey himself cluster a guitar of the neck to touch “Hero”, one of the songs of the new album that better inserts with the classical repertoire and the one that better reception receives on the part of the I publish. In this theme I want to do a special mention al keyboardist Mic Michaeli and al downward John Weigh who they have been able to lose something of prominence in the album of study (mainly the keyboardist) but they are fundamental for the good operation of the band in direct, they are crucial so that being EUROPE a band of a single guitarist, he have not empty sonorous and he can carry al direct of way so I need as himThey do the songs just as all we have listened them in the disks.
“Wake up call”, also of the I finalize disk, so well was not received as the previous one, perhaps two consecutive new songs were too many. “Sign of the times” (fourth theme of the “Out of this world”) sounded with a lot of force. This theme, is one of the ones that but patent they leave to see the influence of a band as Thin Lizzy in the music of EUROPE, especially in their version of direct. A very brief rest that takes advantage of Tempest to present us to the band to the ones that defined as “friends” and leaves us with John Norum interpreting a single of guitar al but pure style of the master one Gary Moore leading to an instrumental one of great beauty that is executed to the perfection for all the band, except for the singer, clear this. I should recognize that the alone one of this night convinced me a lot but that that of last summer in the festival Lorca Rock, where I result me too much simplón, in this occasion, without too many unnecessary technical boastings, if I result of the but pleasant and entertained. They bind the instrumental one with “Girl from Lebanon”, only theme of the “Prisoners in paradise” that will touch this night and again with the hanging guitar al neck and being remained alone on the setting, Joey Tempest –and its fans- interprets the ballad but acquaintance of the swedish band, “Carrie”.
Another of the new, “Flames” sounded very dark, but even that in the disk, and followed by “Yesterday’s news” that incomprehensibly I remain out of the “Prisoners in Paradise” but that happily EUROPE seem determined to recover for the direct one, and that preceded a new greeting of Joey al I publish. That night himself him veia very I please on the setting. “Rock the night” was received with great clamor for all the I publish that I sing the song of principle to end. A brief rest and the to resound of drums the arrival he announces us of another of his large hits, “Cherokee”, again celebrated by all the assistants. Choosing a place of privilege in the set-list, they touch “Start from the dark” that desmereció in in the meantime shiny nothing song, which says a lot to its favor, and finally, could not be of another form, touches the shift to its great one single, al greater single of the Hard Rock European of the eighties, “The final countdown” converting the final section of the concert in.
Little but of hour and a half of concert that seemed to please to the great majority of the presents and al that only would be able him themselves to put a hits, the lack of some theme but of the but old in detriment perhaps of the abuse that did with songs of the “Out of this world”. Surely many fans miss songs as “Stormwind” or “Dreamer”. Otherwise, a great concert that clear any type of doubts that could have on the formation nórdica.
