[ad_1]
The rain that did not let up in Porto Alegre, this Saturday night (6), and the sudden change of the place where the rock band Titãs concert would initially be held, at the Anfiteatro Beira-Rio, to the parking lot of Fiergs, in the area North of the Capital, may even have discouraged some fans, but, for those who were present, any possible hurt with the group from São Paulo was left behind when Paulo Miklos opened the show with the song that would set the general tone of the show: Fun (Nando Reis and Sérgio Britto, 1987), even why “Fun is the solution yes… Life even feels like a party / At certain times that’s all we have left”.
“Everyone was kind of down because of the rain, they started playing and lifted the crowd’s spirits”, said Passo Fundo fan, Nathalie Franzoni, at the end of the show, when Miklos performed the encore. sleeping island (Branco Mello, Marcelo Fromer, Tony Bellotto, Carlos Barmack and Ciro Pessoa, 1984). She, who was accompanied by her sister, found Epitaph (2001), when the crowd sang in unison, with lanterns lit, the chorus “Chance will protect me / as long as I’m distracted” the highlight of the performance because it brought back special memories of her family.
Incidentally, nostalgia and affective memory were feelings that fans did not lack, with the setlist composed almost entirely of songs from the 1980s. This was the case of administrator Rogério Pinto, da Serra. “Despite the rain, I decided to come. I love the band a lot, it’s the story of my adolescence. I sang to flirt, but also to protest, it affected me too much. Nothing would make me miss that moment”, he commented. And part of the fun of the audience was to wash the soul (figure and literally because of the rain that only stopped at the end of the show) precisely with a lot of punk rock and protest from the albums “Cabeça Dinossauro” and “Jesus doesn’t have teeth in the Toothless Country”. . “We don’t even feel this rain anymore, look at the energy”, Rogério got excited.
All at the same time, each in their own way.
With the classic formation of the band from São Paulo from the 1980s, the tour Titans Gather – All at the same time now, in reference to the album of the same name, from 1991, the members Arnaldo Antunes, Charles Gavin, Nando Reis, Paulo Miklos, Sérgio Britto, Branco Mello, and Tony Bellotto, had the opportunity to perform each in their own way, which, including , made everything more exciting for the audience, as they were different “types” in perfect harmony and stage presence. Guitarist Marcelo Fromer, who died in 2001, was honored with images on the screen and his daughter, Alice Fromer, invited by the band, sang every color (Marcelo Fromer, Ciro Pessoa and Carlos Barmark, 1984) and I will not adapt (Arnaldo Antunes, 1985), in the acoustic block and “calmaria” of the show, which also had to say goodbye (Nando Reis and Tony Bellotto, 1985).
In the most punk phase of the show (beginning and end), Branco, recently recovered from laryngeal cancer, brought even more meaning to the music. I’m tired (Cabeça Dinossauro, 1986), because with a more hoarse and metallic voice, he made the audience chant loudly “I’m tired of my hair / I’m tired of my face / I’m tired of vulgar things / I’m tired of rare things / I’m tired / I’m tired”. The music, however, contrasted with the willing posture of the singer, who thanked for being back on stage after the treatment. “I’m alive, singing for you”, he said in interaction with the public from Porto Alegre. He also performed the great success Flowers (Charles Gavin, Paulo Miklos, Sergio Britto and Tony Bellotto, 1989).
Nando Reis shone when singing “Marvin / this is for real / I did my best”, saying that the sound was especially successful in Porto Alegre as soon as it was released. He also wowed the audience who had their hands in the air with the bass solo in the final song before the encore, Scrotum Bugs (Arnaldo Antunes, Nando Reis and Sérgio Britto, 1986). As for the cries of Arnaldo Antunes in Any place (Arnaldo Antunes, Charles Gavin, Marcelo Fromer, Sérgio Britto and Tony Belloto, 1987), Sérgio Britto’s rhythm of protest in Disorder (Charles Gavin, Marcelo Fromer and Sérgio Britto, 1987), and the questioning of food (Arnaldo Antunes, Marcelo Frommer and Sergio Britto, 1987): “Do you have what hunger?“, opened up the social problems of Brazil that, so many years after the formation of the band, are still current. At that moment, there was a protest against former president Jair Bolsonaro.
A lot of rock (and a little dream, please)!
The complete setlist, with 31 songs, still had a lot of rock with dinosaur head (Arnaldo Antunes, Branco Mello and Paulo Miklos, 1986), primate man (Sergio Britto, Marcelo Fromer, Nando Reis and Ciro Pessoa, 1986), Police (Tony Bellotto, 1986), woah (Marcelo Fromer and Sérgio Britto, 1986), Church (Nando Reis, 1986) and Jesus has no teeth in toothless country (Marcelo Fromer and Nando Reis, 1987).
The titanic show, more energetic than gentle, however, had room to pay tribute to Tremendão (Erasmo Carlos). The band asked everyone to sing the ‘gentle giant’ loudly when playing It is necessary to know how to live (Erasmo Carlos and Roberto Carlos, 1968), remembering that, despite all the problems, already so well explained in the other sung tracks, “If good and evil exist, you can choose.”
In the final encore, sleeping island, Paulo Miklos said that he didn’t quite understand why this song was the first to be so successful, but the public, who were anxiously screaming for the “dinosaurs” concert, had the answer, after all, who wouldn’t want to rest their eyes, calm down mouth and fill with light? There was, finally, an audience in ecstasy for the idyllic reunion of a generation with the Giants of Brazilian rock.
