Rock Werchter 2009 - short chronicle



Best of and nearly impossible to describe in words how terrific their performances were: Fleet Foxes, Coldplay, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jason Mraz, 2 Many Djs, Regina Spektor, Elbow

Strong performances:
Oasis, Bloc Party, Amy Macdonald, Kings Of Leon, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Kaiser Chiefs, Seasick Steve who turned out to be incredibly good and Metallica of which i must confess i'm not such a big fan but however enjoyed it up ot one point.

Can't make up my mind about them:
Tiga who initially gave me the impression that i went to a Radio 21 Kiss FM whatever house music party but who succesfully flattered me later with Beep-Beep-Beep, Mind Dimension, You Gonna Want Me and Overtime, Placebo cause they absolutely ruined "Special Needs" my official all time favourite song from them but they performed very well on other songs like Every you Every Me, Song To Say Goodbye, Taste in Men or Black-Eyed and Franz Ferdinand who quitted unexpectedly their gig in the middle of Katherine Kiss Me just cause their performance time was over.

Missed out with a bit of regret: Grace Jones, Emiliana Torrini, The Streets, Lily Allen (partially missed), Eagles of Death Metal, M. Ward and Mogwai

Trash Can: White Lies (because Harry McVeigh, the vocalist can't imitate the voice of Ian Curtis for more than 60 sec without shouting and screaming as if all of us went to heavy metal band gig ), The Killers (for their visible boredom and lack of energy in songs), Royksopp (don't get me wrong, i honestly love their work and albums but the voice of Anneli Drecker the singer they brought with them has nothing in common with the one of Karin Dreijer Andersson and when heard live, that sounds extremely disappointing)

Ah, ce te urasc pentru ca ai fost la Werchter...

Eu am fost, in schimb la Exit, la Arctic Monkeys si Lily Allen. :D

Pe Mars Volta i-am ratat din cauza unei ploi torentiale care ne-a distrus cortul si ne-a ingreunat rucsacul cu vreo 5 kg de apa.
Intr-adevar cred ca ar fi trebuit sa-i trec la categoria "Missed with a bit of regret" la fel ca si pe Nine Inch Nails de altfel, despre care am auzit ca au facut un show grozav in timp ce eu ma tapeam la Pyramid Marquee cu Royksopp. =|

@Ovi
Don't hate me cause there's always going to be a next year for everything. ;)
Duminica s-a intors o colega de job de la Exit, si mi-a spus ca a fost mai degraba dezamagita de maimute... Mie-mi plac foarte mult insa nu i-am vazut inca live. Pe blogul tau am vazut ca te-a entuziasmat destul de tare concertul lor, si cum eu am mai mult incredere in entuziasti decat in ofticati prefer sa cred ca de fapt sunt grozavi live. :D
