move the head and sing “All we need is blood” and “Sanctified
With Dynamite”! The set list was very good with a mix of the
two latest albums and one old: “Resurrection By Erection” that
has always have its effect. The new album seemed a little light
for me, but played live, it is heavy, with choruses that are always
well adapted to the scene. We have assisted to a mass that does
not have much of saint, instead it is a bit bloody. Great show,
we have received a monumental slap from the band!
The most relevant event of that day probably was the group
Mötorhead. I really wanted to assist to one of their shows, since
they had cancelled their summer tour due to Lemmy’s cardiac
problems. They make us the honor of being their only for this
occasion during summer. In some way, the ending of its reign can
be felt. On stage, Lemmy looks age-worn, breathless. His voice
is not the usual, without a doubt, he should listen to his doctor
and not go into stage for a long time… plus, the heat did not
help him! After 30 minutes of a laborious show, Lemmy says that
he prefers to stop and he leaves the stage. While the audience
yelled his name, one of the organizers will announce that the
singer does no feel well, so the show will be cancelled. Many fans
were disappointed since the show was cut in half, but they were
especially preoccupied for seeing his idol in that state. Lemmy
just rest and get well! I hope to have the chance of seeing him in
better form. This legend will end his life on stage, that’s for sure.
The closing point for the night will be the birthday party
that will be offered to the German Doro, the queen of Heavy
Metal. She celebrated that night her thirty years of career. We
appreciated aurally and visually all the show. Doro would sing
her best songs, motivating the public to move while rolling
her blond hair and making the sign of the horns. Her German
audience follows her, she has an incredible energy as always.
Many people in the public came to sing with the star that
night and them will be joined by the singers of “Grave Digger”,
“Subway To Sally”, “Saxon” and “Sabaton”, and the guitarists
“Phil Campbell”, “Mötorhead” and “Uly Jon Roth”, almost to
the end all the guests returned to the stage, to sing her famous
song “All We Are”. At the end of the show I felt as if Doro did
not want to leave the stage. Of course, in that moment, we did
not want it to end. We wish her many more years on the scene!
