Olá Oriana, benvinda a este espaço!

Great concert, way way better than last one in Coliseu 3 years ago, or the last Marés vivas in 08'. Fortunately their presence here keeps getting better, and I hope they can clear their bad live image in here given by the press.

Sound was decent, as in below average, too boomy the doktored bass guitar was completely drown in the mix so that Lucretia would lose it's signature sound. But not too bad, and almost "good" considering the other last two concerts here. :von: was happy, posing a lot for the pictures! And fortunately could keep his voice surprisingly loud along the whole concert.
On the other hand, the band that played first almost couldn't be heard due to an horrid sound mix.

I was a skinny guy in a trench coat with glasses, near middle, about second row. Glad to see some heartlanders having lots of fun a bit back in the middle. :lol:

We already have the link for the concert!
It's available in the Sharing thread, and was posted by Circle. I think is more polite not to present the link once more in this thread.
Sound quality is great!

The interview with Ben and Chris was already posted in Portal Gótico! Probably one of the most stupid interviews I have ever read! The concert review is even worse... Andrew decided wisely not to go and send Ben and Chris instead.

Google translations leave rather a lot to be desired...which was why I was hoping for translation by a native speaker. ;)

Syntax is always sticky, but I don't know of any language that uses conjunctions that places them after the words to be conjoined...and certainly not any Romance languages... :roll:

From what I can gather from the wretched translation, it was...well, very amateur. Less awful than simply pointless.

Ah, I don't expect that, although I've often wished it were the case with foreign sources (this is a piece of cake compared to Greek... :urff: ).
