EDITORS
CONCIERTO BARCELONA SALA RAZZMATAZZ
19/10/2013
Para un veterano como yo,ver a Editors por 6ª vez, no es tarea
fácil, ya que con el paso de los años, de disco tras disco, y gira tras
gira, han ido perdiendo por el camino intensidad, garra,
actitud... canciones que antes tocaban fijas show tras show y noche tras
noche ahora han desaparecido como es "Fingers In The Factories" ,
"Bullets" , "Blood" o alguna cara B, personalmente se echan en falta en
sus conciertos actuales, me explico, los tiempos gloriosos de "The Back
Room" y "And End Has Start" ya han pasado, seamos francos, Editors se
han sumergido por completo en sus ultimas dos entregas para defender a
capa y espada en directo, lo cual es normal, ya que todas las bandas lo
hacen, pero dejar esos tres pilares de canciones fuera del set, me
parece una broma de muy mal gusto. No se, si la salida "Amistosa" del
añorado Chris a las cuatro cuerdas tendrá algo que ver, con estos temas,
pero si que es verdad que el nuevo guitarrista Justin no desentona
para nada y defiende muy bien los temas mas clásicos y antiguos de la
banda. Como el teclista/Guitarrista Elliott muy activo durante todo el
concierto, dándole una libertad a Tom para cantar sin necesidad de tener
colgada la guitarra o de estar sentado delante del teclado, lo cual se
agredece para poder disfrutar de su voz al 100% , aunque en mas
de alguna ocasión de la velada se lo noto áspero y cansado vocalmente.
En Barcelona, vimos la cara de Editors mas triunfal,
como viene siendo costumbre ya, empezaron un set irregular (eso si) que
fue de mas a menos, a algún esbozo por el camino y a un catártico final
fin de fiesta con "Nothing" mucho mejor que en disco y al mega hit
"Papillon" para dar por finalizada la velada tras casi algo menos de dos
horas.
Antes de conclusiones finales, repasemos el concierto a
fondo, comenzaron con "Sugar" como están haciendo en toda la gira y
festivales, para después seguir con fuerza e intensidad con "Someone
Says" , "Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors" y "Bones" hasta aquí, todo
perfecto. Después ya empezó el bajón con "Eat Raw Meat=Blood Drool",
"Two Hearted Spider" y "You Don`t Know Love" temas que son buenos,
pero no es de lo mas destacable de su discografía. Se levantaron de este
pequeño bache con "All Sparks" , "Formaldehyde" y " A Ton Of Love" .
desde aquí hasta el final, momentos álgidos contrastados con momentos y
sobretodo canciones que no son para estar en un set list como "The Phone
Book" y mas en acústico, cortando la intensidad de golpe y sobretodo
"Bricks And Mortair" un tema que no es de mi agrado, muy lineal y
monótono. Para ir acabando los obligados "Múnich" o "The Racing Rats".
En los bises la citada "Bricks And Mortair",
"Nothing" el único momento que Tom consiguió emocionarme, junto con el
típico final de cara a la galería y comercializad de "Papillon"
alargándola hasta casi llegar a los 10 minutos, cosa que también paso
con algún que otro tema mas durante todo el set. Conclusión final: un
buen concierto,con un Tom pletórico y entregado pero no tanto como otras
veces, un perfecto juego de luces (de las mejores que he visto de
ellos) y un set list irregular que hay que ponerle remedio lo antes
posible.
For
a veteran like me, see Editors for the 6th time , not an easy task ,
and that over the years, the album after album and tour after tour ,
have been lost along the way intensity , grit, attitude .. . previously
played songs still show after show , night after night is now gone as
is "Fingers In The Factories" , " Bullets" , "Blood " or some face B ,
personally are missing in their current performances , I mean, the glorious
days of "The Back Room" and " End and you Start" already gone , let's
be frank , Editors have been completely immersed in his last two
deliveries to defend to the hilt live , which is normal , since all bands do, but leave those three pillars of songs off the set , I find a joke in bad taste. No
, if the output " Friendly " the beloved four-string Chris to have
something to do with these issues , but if it is true that the new
guitarist Justin does not clash at all and defends well the more classic
and vintage issues of the band. As
keyboardist / guitarist Elliott very active throughout the concert ,
giving a freedom to Tom to sing without having hung the guitar or
sitting in front of the keyboard, which is agredece to enjoy her voice
to 100 %, although on more than one occasion of the evening I can feel rough and tired vocally .
In Barcelona , we saw the face of Editors more triumphant , as has become customary now, irregular began September 1 ( of course) that was over at least some outline along the way as a cathartic finale end with " Nothing" much better disk and the mega hit " Papillon " to terminate the evening after nearly just under two hours.Before final conclusions thoroughly go over the concert began with "Sugar" as they are doing throughout the tour and festivals , and then continue with strength and intensity "Someone Says" , "Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors" and " Bones" so far so good . After that began the downturn with "Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool " , "Two Hearted Spider" and "You Don ` t Know Love "themes that are good , but it is not the most remarkable of his discography . They got this little bump with " All Sparks " , " Formaldehyde " and " A Ton Of Love" . from here to the final crucial moments especially contrasted with moments and songs that are not to be in a set list as "The Phone Book" and more on sound , cutting the beat and overall intensity of " Bricks And Mortair " a non issue is to my liking, very linear and monotonous. To go running the forced " Munich" or " The Racing Rats" .
In the encore said " Bricks And Mortair " , " Nothing" the only time Tom got excited , along with the usual end to the gallery and commercializes of "Papillon " lengthening to near 10 minutes , which also step with some other subject but throughout the set. Final conclusion : a good concert , with Tom ebullient and delivered but not as much as usual , a perfect set of lights ( the best I've seen of them ) and a set list to be irregular remedy ASAP.
