BILBAO BBK LIVE 2013 REVIEW (SATURDAY) / CRÓNICA SÁBADO

DELORENTOS

VAMPIRE WEEKEND

GREEN DAY

BILBAO BBK LIVE 2013 (CRÓNICA VIERNES)

Y así fue el segundo día del Bilbao BBK Live 2013.

Spector con un momento muy especial con Chevy Thunder, y Benjamin Biolay con su invitado especial Carl Barat con un set precioso lo pusieron todo a punto.

The Vaccines, más tarde, en el escenario principal intentaron presentar su último álbum. Pero una tormenta eléctrica entro en escena y la actuación se suspendió.

Mark Lanegan Band sobre el tercer escenario -escenario "Live!"- y bajo la fuerte lluvia ahora tocaban su setlist. Le sentaba bien al cien por cien el rol de telepredicador.

A modo de refugio, en la Carpa Vodafone Yu, Fuel Fandango obtuvo una audiencia tal que quizás ni ellos mismos esperaban.

Media hora tarde en los horarios, cuando la lluvia paró y les dejó saltar al escenario, Klaxons tuvo a todo el mundo dando los mejor de sí con canciones como Echoes, Twin Flames, Atlantis to Interzone, Gravity's Rainbow, Future Memories, Golden Skans, Magick... además de algunas de su nuevo album. El encargado de escenario les advirtió que tenían que acabar con una última canción.

La razón era que Kings of Leon estaban listos para empezar en el escenario principal -Bilbao-. Los cabezas de cartel tocaron sus grandes éxitos Radioactive, Closer, Sex On Fire, Use Somebody, Knocked up, Crawl, Molly's Chambers, Fans... ante un recinto multitudinario que bien merecía una foto panoramica.

Los Zigarros fueron una grata sorpresa de rock español en la Carpa Vodafone Yu.

Después volvímos al escenario principal para el concierto de PIL, Public Image LTD. Puede que expectativas fuesen demasiado altas puede que la actuación fue muy floja.

Standstill de Barcelona, 2ManyDjs, Birdy Nam Nam y otros Djs cerraron el recinto hasta mañana.

Carga tus baterías para The Hives, Delorentos, Vampire Weekend y Green Day hoy, Sábado!!!

BILBAO BBK LIVE REVIEW (FRIDAY)

This was the second day of Bilbao BBK Live 2013.

Spector with a very special moment with Chevy Thunder and Benjamin Biolay with special guest Carl Barat with a precious set got everything ready.

The Vaccines, later, at the main stage tried to present their last album. But an electrical storm got into scene and the performance was suspended.

Mark Lanegan Band on the third -"Live!"- stage and under the powerful showers now performed their setlist. He fitted one hundred percent a telepreacher role.

Kind of a shelter at indoor Carpa Vodafone Yu Fuel Fandango got such an audience perhaps not even themselves expected for.

Half an hour late on the schedules, when the rain stopped and let them go onstage, Klaxons got everyone giving their best with songs such as Echoes, Twin Flames, Atlantis to Interzone, Gravity's Rainbow, Future Memories, Golden Skans, Magick... in addition to some of their new album songs. The person in charge of the stage warned them they needed to end up just with a last song.

The reason was Kings of Leon were ready to start at the main -Bilbao- stage. The headliners played their greatest hits Radioactive, Closer, Sex On Fire, Use Somebody, Knocked up, Crawl, Molly's Chambers, Fans... before a crowed venue that deserved a panoramic photo.

Los Zigarros were a nice surprise of spanish rock at Carpa Vodafone Yu.

Then we went back to the main stage to PIL Public Image LTD's gig. Perhaps our expectances were too high perhaps the performance was too weak.

Standstill from Barcelone, 2ManyDjs, Birdy Nam Nam and other Djs closed the venue until tomorrow.

Charge your batteries for The Hives, Delorentos, Vampire Weekend and Green Day today, Saturday!!!

CRÓNICA DEL BILBAO BBK LIVE 2013 (JUEVES)

Esto fue el primer día en el Bilbao BBK Live 2013.

Después de que Toy y Arcane Roots calentaran los escenarios, Billy Talent explotó sobre el segundo escenario del festival second stage y concluyeron con su himno Red Flag.

Editors presentaron su nuevo album The Weight Of Your Love (2013) con canciones como A Ton Of Love pero no olvidaron hits como Munich, An End Has a Start, Smokers outside The Hospital Doors, In This Lights and On This Evening o The Racing Rats. Ofrecieron una actuación muy fuerte que llegó a su climax y fin de la mano de Papillon.

Mientras tanto Meanwhile Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaries estaban tocando en el tercer escenario como la más pura "big band" de soul and funk.

Sobre el cuarto escenario, con carpa, L.A hizo que la multitud disfrutara su rock en estado puro. La banda española dejó clara la razón por la que están teniendo tanto exito en España y en el extranjero.

Depeche Mode, de vuelta al escenario principal, arrancaron con Welcome, Angel, Walking In My Shoes y Precious. Tuvieron que empezar de nuevo desde el principio Precious por problemas de la programación electrónica. Pero el problema no fue grande para ellos y continuaron con Heaven, A Question of Time , Enjoy The Silence, Personal Jesus, Home, Just Can't Get Enough, I Feel You... en un manífico setlist sin fin repleto de éxitos.

Entonces, Biffy Clyro saludaron con Stingin' Belle a una audiencia que crecía. Sus canciones más potentes - The Captain, Biblical, Sounds Like Balloons, God & Satan, A Girl And His Cat, Bubbles, Opposite, Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies, Many Of Horror, That Golden Rule y , como no, Black Chandelier, coreada por todos allí!!!.

El escenario principal fue cerrado por Two Door Cinema Club y sus What You Know, Undercover Martyn, Do You Want It All? y tantas canciones bailables que hicieron a la (todavía considerable) multitud allí saltar arriba y abajo hasta la muerte.

Delorean y los DJs estuvieron en cargo de mantener el ritmo para los que todavía no encontraban el camino de vuelta a casa.

Preparados para hoy porque The Vaccines, Klaxons, Kings Of Leon, PIL (Public Image Ltd.) van a requerir toda vuestra energía!!!

BILBAO BBK LIVE 2013 REVIEW (THURSDAY)

This was the first day in Bilbao BBK Live 2013.

After Toy and Arcane Roots warmed up the stages Billy Talent exploded onto the festival's second stage and ending with their anthem Red Flag.

Editors presented their new album The Weight Of Your Love (2013) with songs like A Ton Of Love but didn't forget hits such as Munich, An End Has a Start, Smokers outside The Hospital Doors, In This Lights and On This Evening and The Racing Rats. They offered a very strong set that got to its climax and end with Papillon.

Meanwhile Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaries were playing at the third stage in most pure soul and funk big band.

On the forth stage L.A make the crowd enjoy their rock in pure state. The spanish band make clear the reason why they are being sucessfull in Spain and abroad.

Depeche Mode, back to the main stage, stated up with Welcome, Angel, Walking In My Shoes and Precious. They had to start Precious over again because of programming issues. But this issue was no problem for them and went on with Heaven, A Question of Time , Enjoy The Silence, Personal Jesus, Home, Just Can't Get Enough, I Feel You... in a neverending great setlist filled up with hits.

Then, Biffy Clyro said hello with Stingin' Belle to a growing audience. Their most powerfull songs - The Captain, Biblical, Sounds Like Balloons, God & Satan, A Girl And His Cat, Bubbles, Opposite, Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies, Many Of Horror, Black Chandelier, That Golden Rule and, of course, Black Chandelier, sung along by everyone there!!!.

The main stage was closed by Two Door Cinema Club and their What You Know, Undercover Martyn, Do You Want It All? and so many danceable songs that make the (still remaining) crowd there jump up and down to their death.

Delorean and the DJs were in charge of keeping the beat for the ones that would not find the way back home yet.

Get ready for tomorrow The Vaccines, Klaxons, Kings Of Leon, PIL (Public Image Ltd.) are going to require your best!!!
