March 2, 2006 - Buenos Aires, Argentina - Estadio River Plate

Hola! i´m from Bono´s Aires!

Yesterday i went to River bPlate Stadium to saw U2!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Viva Bono!

*Ger!*

Eight years later..

The lights of the stadium they are put out and Bond, sheathed in its windbreaker of flag Argentina, says, sings, that that the brightness of the cities it enceguece the more itself about. It is not more than a sweet lie (they recall that we are speaking of one of the largest stars of rock of the planet), but the phrase of "City of Blinding Lights" with the one that opens the "Vertigo Tour" explains a lot about the moment by the one that travel these four Irish decades-proof, especially on this singer that no longer uses the clothes of the cynical personage that interpreted 90, but that continues doing of the ambiguity its better expression.

Bond sees, but does not want to see. Covers itself the eyes with a bandage, but spy by underneath. Thus it moves so much above the setting (in a night as the on Wednesday) like underneath, when is found with the political leaders of the world (of the first one and of the third).

It is coincidence then (here nothing is freed al chance) that the closing of the concert, two hours and room later, find it to Bond grieving for blind loves, wrapped in the beautiful melody of "Love Is Blindness" (fear that closes, also, its better work, "Achtung Baby"). Bond sees, but does not want to see, and when do not they leave it to see dies for spying.

The artistic ambiguity has been the weapon that better has handled U2 during its almost thirty years. Since the same genesis of the name of the band (a myth that never worried about unmasking and that, according to the interpretation, is translated phonetically as the friendly one "vos also", or like the name of an airplane spy that crashed on the old Soviet Union) to these days of political commitment and business multimillionaires.

And this new spectacle is not the exception. Because no matter how more insist itself that "they are more serious" and that Bond now no longer is so ironic and says things as "thanks by giving us a great life", U2 continues being supported in the ambivalence of its acts and words. They are or they are done? What interests, I want more.

Thus it is like the fairy-lights of colors of that extraordinary curtain of fund utilized as screen also enceguece, hypnotizes with its psychedelic forms, and to nobody imports him if this is not the best spectacle in the history of the band... continues being, in its own, unique.

"It is the classical syndrome of the star of rock: I want to entertain me and to save al world", Bond said a pair of years ago and defined the characteristics of its new personage, that that took up again barely begun this century, with a disk that returned to the band to its musical roots. There it is Bond, entertaining and making aware at more than 60 thousand people, although the message, if it is taken with too much seriousness, run the risk of sounding a little distorted by these prairies.

The list of themes of night before last indicates that "Achtung Baby" continues being the album preferred of the band (of there do six songs and they achieve the best segment of the concert with the seguidilla: "One", "Zoo Station", "The Fly" and "Misterious Ways"), that do not neglect never its last creations (include five themes of its last disk) and that still they are shamed of it was "Pop" (engraved album in 1997, of the They include any song); and, of course, that these types have composed a large quantity of sensational songs.

There are summing-ups in favor of the peace in the world (in prose, verse and in gigantic screen) and the inclusion of "Miss Sarajevo" (fear that they recorded next to Pavarotti to benefit of the victims of the former one Yugoslavia) recalls that the commitment is not new; and that Bond is an exceptional singer, be chirped what be chirped or he say what say when himself drop of the setting.

Of the first harmonious one al last, the guitar of The Edge sounds as if were three, and the public is touchd with each gesture, each word and each nostalgic memory and personnel linked with those classics without time neither place (or what is, if not, a theme as "Where The Streets Have Not Name").
Almost on the end, the image of Kirchner becomes related by marriage with that of Bush in the screen in a difficult irony to explain knowingly of its encounter with the Argentine president, hours before. And one it understands again that ambiguous allegory on that Bond sees, although want not.
