Delirious? Making History

RO

Inti­tial am osci­lat intre bucu­resti si buda­pesta. am ales insa buda­pesta din mai multe motive. ungu­rii vin­deau deja demult bile­tele in timp ce roma­nii nici nu ale­se­sera loca­tia con­cer­tu­lui. nu se stia nici unde va fi con­cer­tul nici daca va mai fi. asta spune multe des­pre cum stiu roma­nii sa orga­ni­zeze con­certe. plus ca buda­pesta e ceva mai aproape. la ora asta nu am idee cum a fost con­cer­tul de aseara de la bucu­resti cit de bine a fost orga­ni­zat si cum a sunat, dar incerc sa aflu cit de curind.

Am ajuns la petofy pe la 18:15 [con­cer­tul era pro­gra­mat sa inceapa la 19:30]. Dupa ce am intrat insa, am reu­sit des­tul de usor sa ocu­pam loc chiar in pri­mul sau al doi­lea rind, ches­tie care mi-a per­mis sa fac si citeva poze. Con­cer­tul mi-a pla­cut mult desi ascult deli­ri­ous de putin timp, nu prea le stiam albu­mele sau pie­sele. Ce m-a atras insa la trupa asta au fost influ­en­tele puter­nice U2 din muzica lor. Vocea lui Mar­tin Smith chiar aduce a Bono de multe ori. Show-ul de vineri a fost o expe­rienta fan­tas­tica. Soun­dul, jocu­rile de lumini, pro­iec­ti­ile de pe ecra­nul gigan­tic din spate, toate au fost de excep­tie. Mi-au pla­cut mult: “Solid Rock”, “His­tory Maker” sau cele de pe cel mai recent disc [care zice-se ca n-ar fi asa bun; mie insa mi se pare foarte bun] “All God’s Chil­dren”,  “We give You Praise”, “Kin­gdom of Com­fort” . Avind in vedere ca asta este ulti­mul lor tur­neu, ma bucur ca nu i-am ratat. Ori­cit de bom­bas­tic ar suna, vineri s-a facut istorie, asta ca sa ma exprim “deliric”:)

mai multe ima­gini de la acest con­cert puteti vedea aici. am mai gasit si un clip pe you­tube, fil­mat din public des­tul de departe si cu sune­tul cam dis­to­r­sio­nat dar totusi sur­prinde ceva din atmosfera de-acolo: enjoy! Am gasit inca un scurt clip docu­men­tar cu scene din bac­ks­tage facut de cei de la upzone pro­duc­tions. puteti sa-l vedeti aici.

First I osci­l­la­ted between Bucha­rest and Buda­pest. I chose Buda­pest for many rea­sons: they have been sel­ling tic­kets for some time while Roma­ni­ans didn’t even have the loca­tion. Nobody knew where the con­cert was going to take place or if it will take place at all. This says a lot about how Roma­ni­ans know how to orga­nize con­certs. Plus, Buda­pest is clo­ser. Right now I have no idea how the con­cert in Bucha­rest was last night, how well was orga­ni­zed and how it soun­ded, but I’ll find out soon.

We arri­ved at Petofy aro­und 6.15 pm [the con­cert was suppo­sed to start at 7.30]. After we got in, we mana­ged to stay in the front and I was able to take some pho­tos. I liked the con­cert a lot, even tho­ugh I‘ve only been lis­te­ning to Deli­ri­ous quite recen­tly and I didn’t know their albums and songs. What rea­lly attrac­ted me was the U2 influ­ence in their music. Mar­tin Smith’s voice rea­lly soun­ded like Bono’s many times. The Fri­day show was an ama­zing expe­rience. The sound, the lights, the screen pro­jec­tions, all was excep­tio­nal. I liked a lot: “Solid Rock”, “His­tory maker” and the ones from their newest album [which is said to be not so good — I rea­lly like it]: “All God’s Chil­dren”, “We give You Praise”, “Kin­gdom of Com­fort”. Taking into con­si­de­ra­tion that this is their last tour, I’m glad I didn’t miss them. As bom­bas­tic as it may sound, his­tory was made on Fri­day, deli­ri­o­u­sly speaking.

You can see more pics from the con­cert here. I found a you­tube video, fil­med from the public; quite far and the sound is a bit dis­to­r­ted, but you can get the vibe. Enjoy! I found ano­ther  short docu­men­tary video with bac­ks­tage sce­nes, this one is made by upzone pro­duc­tions and you can watch it here.

   thanks liftin­gsha­dows! glad you like them!

   the guys from ezazanap.hu who orga­ni­zed the deli­ri­ous? con­cert also liked the ima­ges and pos­ted a link to my gallery:)

   To be honest, i don’t know how they tur­ned out so good, i didn’t use tri­pod, flash or any pro­fes­sio­nal equi­p­ment. all of them are taken from the audience, from the same posi­tion, with my Canon Power­Shot SX100 IS. Anyway, the lights, the screen pro­jec­tions hel­ped alot.

   si eu am osci­lat putin intre buda si bucu­resti si fiind din timi­soara ar fi fost cel mai comod sa aleg prima vari­anta, mai aproape si mer­geam lejer pe autos­trada. Insa moti­vul prin­ci­pal pen­tru care am ales bucu­resti a fost ca vro­iam sa-i vad pe pamant romanesc.…si sa cant I wanna be a his­tory maker in this land…si apropo nu regret ca am ales sa-i vad in tara. Orga­ni­za­rea a fost super ok…si nu au exis­tat pro­bleme teh­nice. Ok…asta e. Fie­care cu mof­tu­rile lui.

   mersi romane pen­tru comen­ta­riu. am fost pe lin­kul de pe you­tube, pe care l-ai pus la url, si atmosfera de acolo pare super. ma bucur ca ambele con­certe au iesit ok. imi aduce aminte de con­cer­tul petra din buda­pesta, cind john sch­litt s-a infa­su­rat cu ban­ne­rul pe care l-am facut cu o seara ina­inte [scria roma­nia pe el] si pe care l-am arun­cat pe scena in tim­pul concertului.
