Not that I was exactly an unconditional
fan, but I had a few beers to drink, so I supposed I could
bare with them. Yes, I'm speaking about Marillion, a group
that, for the delight of many, performed in the Aqualua, a
bar in the Aquaparque in Restelo, on the 29th of July. The
bar, Radio Cidade and Valentim de Carvalho, all together brought
Marillion to a public of about a few thousand. Although without
Fish, they were Marillion.

At the entrance, we had to show the invitation
(it was a very controlled thing) which caused some spicy casual
carnal encounters. If the forest that surrounded the place
could speak it would have a lot to tell. The atmosphere was
basically composed of youngsters (what happened to the women
of my days, did they all got married?), so they are the ones
that after a drink or two play the blind goat in hiding, and
before they know it, the girls are already wearing on of those
products announced on TV, that somehow, "you don't even realize
you're wearing it".
Well, but I wanted, besides speaking about the bar that got
over last year concept that, as a lot of people still recalls,
was an Arabic one... Hey, wait a moment! Marillion started
playing, I think it's. "No One Can", I don't know what the
guy means by that, but had he that little rubber we offered
two weeks ago, he certainly could. I'm joking folks, they
are quite easy to bare, I admit that I had to swallow a handful
of beers, but what the hell, if it wasn't the alcohol heating
me up, they wouldn't do it (by the way, my chick was on vacation).
They started singing "Kayleigh" and I admit that I actually
preferred this version to the one sung by little fish. It
was so beautiful to watch those youngsters struggling for
a spot closer to the stage (at least they could grab a bottle
or two) singing out of tune (such was the drunkness!) Kayleighhh...
I head off to the balcony and, if it wasn't for my friend,
I would still today be waiting for that nice little beer I
was promised in my invitation.
Hallucinating screams echoed from the stage. There was a guy
with a brasilian accent asking everyone to sing happy birthday.
The little Marillions, poor guys, didn't understand a word
of it, not even knowing how to wish everybody a good night.
Although they didn't understand anything, they did however
appreciate the young girls given to them as a 10th anniversary
gift given by Radio Cidade. The concert was over, the beer
was over, and I'm off too, see you next week. Oh! I was almost
forgetting, I enjoyed listening to "Sympathy", it was nice
of them.
