Ok, I’ll
abridge first the bad things that happened because of the
stupid public...
 -
It was the real first international show in Recife, and the
public were very euphoric, so, in the beginning of the show,
I couldn’t sing The Greatest View, After All These,
and some other songs because of the tumult...
- The public didn’t know Diorama as the should know!
There was two side: The rockers... they wanted to listen the
old sonds from Frogstomp and Freak Show, and many stupid girls
with their boyfriends... they knew only Miss You Love and
Ana’s Song...
- Because of that, Silverchair didn’t play some songs
that they’ve played in other shows: Across The Night
(the name of the tour!!!!!), Black Tangled Heart (Oh, God
I wanted so much to listen this song live...), Paint Pastel
Princess, Asylum (Yeah, me and my friend wanted to hear this
song live, but nobody knews it!), Petrol and Chlorine, Steam
Will Arise, Do You Feel The Same, and Slave (but Slave I didn’t
miss)...
I have
shame of Recife, because I think we (not me, I sang all the
songs!!!!! My friend Rodrigo too =) disappointed Silverchair!
In Ana’s Song, almost in the end, Daniel told us to
sing, and the stupid people sang mistaken!!!
 But
their peformance was great!!!!! And in spite of all these
things, IT WAS VERY GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Lever
was great!!! The majority didn’t know the song, but
I sang with all my soul!!!!! The modifications in that song
were great!
Tuna
In The Brine was the best! Nobody knews it again, But I myself
with a girl who I don’t know sang the song!!!!! Rules!!!
One Way
Mule was very great too!!!!!!!!!!! Daniel was very crazy in
that song!
World
Upon Your Shoulders was great, but the tumult damaged... the
same for After All These Years (Daniel playing piano!!!!!!!!),
The Greatest View and Without You...
Luv Your
Life was very great too, you know, see Daniel playing the
“acoustic” guitar (here in Brazil we call “Violão”)...
Emotion
Sickness was very good (I could sing...!)!! After the music
has finished, Daniel continued playing guitar making some
solos, and Ben & Chris playing drums and the bass... was
very good!!
Anthem
Fro The Year 2000, Freak, were cool...
The Door
was very very great!!!!!!!!! They’ve modified the song,
yeah it was very great!!
And Daniel
played the guitar with the teeth!!!!!!!!! Man, it was the
greatest thing in the show!!! Daniel, Ben, Chris, they’re
playing their instruments very well!!!!!!!!!
 The
songs are not in the same sequence of the show, here is the
true setlist:
After All These Years
The Greatest View
Word Upon Your Shoulders
Without You
Emotion Sickness (with a tardier ending)
Luv Your Life
Israel’s Son
Ana’s Song
Miss You Love
A Homage to Recife/Brazil
The Door (tardier ending)
Freak
Anthem For The Year 2000
Tuna In The Brine
The Lever (with a long solo in the middle of the song)
One Way Mule
Unkown Song (not from any CD or single... I think it was a
cover or a new - very great song)
But I
missed all the songs they didn’t play, and My Favourite
Things, Too Much Of Not Enough, etc.... but it’s ok!
PLEASE
DON’T STOP WITH INTERNATIONAL TOURS!!!!!!! |
they also played "the greatest view","world
upon your shoulders", "without you", "luv
your life" etc.
There
was something different in the air that night. When i got
to "Classic Hall" and saw that HUGE crowd of people
waiting for HOURS to get inside - there was people there since
5 AM - and singing together, i've had a little brief of what
i was about to experience in the next hours...
It
was almost a non-stop show. Daniel didin't stopped playing
any minute of the entire almost 2 hours of performance - except
when he was changing guitars (9 times, if I am right). He
did some cool stunts like playing the guitar laid back on
the stage floor, played around with his voice, licked the
guitar ALL OVER swinging his "behind", and he did
some steps to us as well! (shaking his hips and singin something
like: "this is a song to all my friends in Brasil, this
is a song to all my lovers from Brasil"). Unlike Daniel,
Chris seemed a little shy - i almost couldn't get to see him!
Certainly the best song of the night was "Emotion Sickness",
followed by "Anthen For The Year 2000" and "Freak".
"The Greatest View" and "Without You"
were especialy praised by the public. "Miss You Love"
made the crowd settle down and sing it togheter, some people
cried - i did... - and "Israel's Son" got an unreconizable
new introduction - perfect! "The Door" and "One
Way Mule" were a surprise the public, while "Ana's
Song" was particularly awaited. I can't remember the
songs in any particular order, so i can't tell the setlist...
but the last song wasn't recognized by me - maybe some new
stuff of the band, i have enjoyed it myself, as long as i
remember, i was the only one around jumping and singing it
back (the chorus, that i can't remember anymore, but sounds
somewhat like "kids" or something - and there was
another song in the middle of the setlist that i couldn't
identify too, but i had the feeling that i knew it...
