Magnum Tour 2009 - Barcelona - 18 October 2009

Magnum - Tour 2009 - Barcelona - 18 October 2009

And back from the Concert...

It has been a great one! Two surprises from the beginning: No supporters and got first line :-)

And now i can die saying i've seen a concert in first line! To be honest iI was very excited and it is quite emotional to see a concert like this.
The fact of not having supporters i like it. I mean i do not mind a good opening act, but this rarely happens, and you go only for main band (with some exceptions ;-)).

Magnum are a very professional band. Tony Clarkin, was all-time concentrated in the songs, and only seemed to smile once the songs finished giving thumbs up. Al, bass player was the man who enjoyed most the concert smiling all the time and bringing feeling, as well as Bob who was conducting the songs feelings' as he uses to. What impresses me is that I consider them really rock stars, with capital letters, but the acted with humility and you couldn't help but loving them so much :-)

They did the set list without interruptions, and I hardly realised going from Moonking song in the list to the last one, Vigilante, one of the best moments. Les morts dansant and A face in the crowd were special moments as well. When we were younger is a favourite of mine too. After, the encores, Don't wake the lion and Kingdom of Madness.
I do believe that it is a pity they left out How far Jerusalem, but i do understand that everybody would have loved 30' or more of this great music :-)
The Sala Apolo is a great one for intimate concerts like this one, and though sound (vocals) were not so loud as they should have been, I am quite sure that everybody was satified with Magnum.

I would have loved buying a T-shirt, but I have enough of black ones... :-(
