A review, automatically translated by google.






Bob Geldof can until have left anteontem of the Atlantic Pavilion, in Lisbon, without much money for the campaign of `Poverty Zero' (of which she is activista), but went up to palco, before an embarrassing plateia of little more than a thousand people, as she was herself to touch for a full enclosure.



















In the concert of solidarity in favor of Africa, he sang and he touched with soul and, volvidos 30 years, still he sharpens the ropes (the vocal ones and of the viola) to offer to the public with the artist claw and `to performer' that (still) he is.

Almost two hours later, to 22h30, the Waterboys had extended the fact: they had put (almost) all to the pulls when talking back the successes of years 80 as if they touched them for the first time, and the leader, Mike Scott, shone in duetos with keyboard keys or violin.

The few gifts had not left disapointed when, for 00h20, the lights if had lit on the emptied room and the employees of the cleanness had started to sweep the little garbage spread for the soil. The high points of the night had appeared, clearly are, with Geldof to make to echo the refrão of `I Don' t Like Mondays' (of the times of the Boomtwon Rats) and the Waterboys to inspire to a ball the optimum Scottish style to the sound of `The Whole Of The Moon', `Fisherman' s Blues', `the Bang in The Ear' and `The Pan Within'.

E benditos violins! In a noise “irish-scotish-blues”, according to proper Mike Scott, sobressaíam the violins that had folloied as much Geldof as Scott, valuing the harmony of the two bands who, decades after the estrelato, confirm that, who always knows, knows. It is case to say: who was not was!

Bob Geldof & The Waterboys
Empty Atlantic to see the “father” of Live 8

2006/07/10 | 15:10Carneiro João Da Silva
Despite hour has started with a delay of more than half hour, the concert of Bob Geldof, in the past Saturday, in Lisbon, registou a affluence of public ridicule.


Little more than 500 people were gifts in the Atlantic Pavilion when the “father” of the Live Aid and Live 8, and former-Boomtown Rats, went up to palco (placed the half one of the enclosure), folloied for its band.


The actuação of Bob Geldof was also sufficient morna. The very little public who if only found in the enclosure more sang some of known musics of the Irish artist, as “I Don't Like Mondays”.


The Waterboys the Burn had closed the night with the presentation of its more recent work “Karma You”. “Fisherman's Blues” and “The Pain Within” had been subjects that had been part of the alignment of the band of folk rock.


A concert that, certainly, congregated few donations for the cause the one that if destined: the fight against the poverty.


(Not a great success in terms of numbers then. Were Portugal playing that night?)
