El concierto que México nunca verá
Por José Jorge Martínez
El próximo domingo las cerca de 50,000 personas que alojará el Foro Sol, no verán a los Rolling Stones. Poco habrán valido las extenuantes filas y la frustración al escuchar en incontables ocasiones el tono de ocupado del 5325-9000. De poco, haber observado al otrora omnipotente mouse, impedido de abrir la página de Ticketmaster para la compra de boletos.
Quienes lograron conseguir su entrada, habrán invertido cientos y miles de pesos, pero solo observarán un show impecable que ha sido ejecutado ya casi en 60 ocasiones, desde que comenzó su gira el mes de agosto del año pasado. Pero los grupos rock, y muy en especial los Rolling Stones, no están integrados solo por los ejecutantes, sino también por una audiencia con posibilidad de inyectar adrenalina a los músicos directamente a la yugular. A diferencia de México y Estados Unidos, donde el espacio vital de los asistentes -en su mayoría entre 30 y 40 años- está determinado por las sillas desde el Steel Wheels Tour; en contraste con los recitales del 2003 en la arena de Wembley, donde ingleses entre 50 y 60 años promedio los disfrutaron sentados como si contemplaran una orquesta; en Buenos aires, los argentinos de un solo pinchazo catapultaron el martes pasado a los Rolling Stones a principios de los años ochenta.
Como si se tratara de un episodio de Tony y Douglas en el Túnel del Tiempo, la mayoría de los 60,000 fanáticos que poblaron el estadio del River Plate, agitaban sus cuerpos de entre 16 y 25 años de vida como miembros de una colonia de serpientes enlazados entre sí, provocando que los cada vez más satánicos y arrugados rostros de los Rolling, fueran sólo máscaras que disfrazan a los jóvenes actores de una compañía de teatro. Sin asientos de por medio, sin más de 3,000 pesos mexicanos para desembolsar y poder participar en el show desde la cancha, los argentinos hicieron por alrededor de 500, que Mick Jagger corriera por el escenario como no lo hacía desde 1981 en la gira Tatoo You cuando, al igual que ayer, la voz de la muchedumbre se imponía en ocasiones sobre el sonido de la banda.
Desde Jumping Jack Flash, al inicio del show, el público se convirtió en una masa danzarina, convirtió al Rock en Slam, en una gran baile circular y por lo tanto árabe, cuyo impulso hizo que Jagger con sus 62 años de sexo, drogas y Rock n¹ Roll, representara como nunca I am Shattered .doesn¹t matter! Llegó Rain Fall Down del último disco y el sonido de los Stones se volvió una amalgama de Blues y Reggae (Black & Blue), mientras el sudor de cada uno se convertía en el sudor de todos, y anticipando lo que serían los mayores movimientos migratorios de la cancha: los que se darían cuando del escenario se desprendiera una pequeña nave en la que se transportaron los Stones para tocar Miss You, Rough Justice y Start Me Up a medio campo.
³Los StonesŠlos StonesŠ.amo a los Stones², se escuchaba desde todas las esquinas del estadio, desde cada pedazo de tierra del campo de futbol, más fuerte que si fuera un partido de Argentina por el campeonato del mundo. ³Los StonesŠlos StonesŠ.amo a los Stones² ¿Quién en algún rincón del mundo hace coros cantando amo a los Stones? Y tenía que llegar el momento del Blues al dar inicio Midnight Rambler, en una versión tan larga, pero mejor que la del Get Yer Ya Ya¹s Out de 1969. Para muchos, quizá la mayor versión que jamás se haya ejecutado, y que apaciguó a la masa de ofidios, encantados por Jagger, el Harmoniquista de Hamelin.
Cómo en todas las crónicas, se habla más de Jagger, símbolo del grupo frente a la opinión pública. Es él quien provoca más seguidores al aparecer frente a la prensa como parte del Jet-Set y el mundo de la moda. Pero en la devoción por esta banda, hay una segunda religión, subterránea, más rockanrolera, la que basa su culto en Keith Richards, a quien el martes la vaticana multitud pidió su santificación.
Los ³Oeeoeeoe, Richaaards, Richaaards, Richaaards², que duraron varios minutos al momento de la presentación, hicieron que el legendario guitarrista se conmoviera al borde de las lágrimas y que en señal de pena, cubriera con las manos sus ojos repentinamente húmedos, antes de confesar frente al micrófono que la larga ovación le había hecho olvidar como presentar la siguiente canción. El gesto mereció aún más ³oeees², pero Richards alcanzó a reponerse para ejecutar This Place is Empty -en un concierto donde las baladas fueron reducidas al mìnimo- y proseguir también con Happy, brindando a la multitud uno de los mejores desempeños que ha tenido él como vocalista en toda su carrera.
Luego de dos horas cinco minutos, este público se vio obligado a admitir que la misa había terminado y que su sacerdote favorito no saldría más al escenario, por más que el público continuara coreando el riff de Satisfaction, a pesar de que la canción había terminado. Argentina es el único país donde la mayoría de los fanáticos profesa la religión de Richards y eso se explica porque la raigambre rockanrolera de este país no tiene comparación en el mundo. Richards representa la imagen viva de la vida al estilo rock and roll y aquí se reproducen constantemente jóvenes de 20 años que forman bandas y apuestan a vivir de esa manera. Si Inglaterra fue la madre, en el Siglo XXI la historia del Rock tiene que rescribirse y reinterpretarse desde Argentina, no sólo por la intensidad de los conciertos que han dados los Stones aquí desde 1995, sino porque es el único país donde ese estilo de música se trasmite de padres a hijos a través de las generaciones y por lo tanto es el lugar donde tiene futuro. Y hoy mismo, luego de 8 años de espera, otros 60,000 fanáticos demostrarán también que tanto esa raigambre les ha hecho extrañar a los Stones.
Talk about your favorite band.

It praises the Buenos Aires gig.
In essence (it's quite long, as you see):
An audience formed mainly by people between 16 and 25 launched the Stones to the early eighties, instead of sit down audiences like Mexico and the US. Audience even was heard above music in some spots. Some songs played are told, as is how people loved them. The last part tells how, apart from the obvious stage and press presence of Jagger, there's a sort of religious devotion for Keith down there in Argentina, which happens to be a quite rocker country.

Just a quick translation from a half assed program on my PC, I'm at job now. the review is from Feb. 23 about the 1st show in Argentina.
Next Sunday those near 50,000 people that it will house the Forum Sun, won't see the Rolling Stones. Little will have been worth the extenuantes lines and the frustration when listening in countless occasions the tone of busy of the 5325-9000. Of little, to have observed to the formerly omnipotent mouse, handicapped of opening the page of Ticketmaster for the purchase of tickets.
Who were able to get their entrance, they will have invested hundred and thousands of pesos, but alone they will observe an impeccable show that has been executed already almost in 60 occasions, since their tour began the month of August of last year. But the groups rock, and very especially the Rolling Stones, they are not integrated alone for the performers, but also for an audience with possibility of injecting adrenaline directly to the musicians to the jugular. Contrary to Mexico and United States, where the vital space of the assistants -in their majority between 30 and 40 years - it is determined by the seats from the Steel Wheels Tour; in contrast with the recitals of the 2003 in the sand of Wembley, where Englishmen between 50 and 60 years average enjoyed them seated as if they contemplated an orchestra; in Good airs, the Argentineans of a single jab catapulted last Tuesday to the Rolling Stones at the beginning of the years eighty.
As if it was Tony's episode and Douglas in the Tunnel of the Time, most of the 60,000 fanatics that populated the stadium of the River Plate, shook their bodies of among 16 and 25 years of life like members of a colony of snakes connected to each other, causing that the more and more satanic and wrinkled faces of the Rolling, masks that disguise the young actors of a theater company were only. Without seats of for half, without more than 3,000 Mexican pesos to pay and to be able to participate in the show from the court, the Argentineans made for around 500 that Mick Jagger ran for the scenario like he/she didn't make it from 1981 in the tour Tatoo You when, the same as yesterday, the voice of the crowd was imposed in occasions on the sound of the band.
From Jumping Jack Flash, to the beginning of the show, the public became a mass dancer, it transformed to the Rock into Slam, in a great circular dance and therefore Arabic whose impulse made that Jagger with its 62 years of sex, drugs and Rock n¹ Roll, represented as never I am Shattered .doesn¹t matter! Rain arrived Fall Down of the last disk and the sound of the Stones became an amalgam of Blues and Reggae (Black & Blue), while the perspiration of each one became the perspiration of all, and advancing what you/they would be the biggest migratory movements in the court: those that would be given when of the scenario he/she came off a small ship in which the Stones was transported to play Miss You, Rough Justice and Start Me Up to half field.
³Los StonesŠlos StonesŠ.amo to the Stones², was listened from all the corners of the stadium, from each piece of earth of the soccer field, stronger than if it was a party of Argentina for the championship of the world. ³Los StonesŠlos StonesŠ.amo to the Stones² Who in some corner of the world he/she makes choirs singing master to the Stones? And he/she had to end up the moment from the Blues when giving I begin Midnight Rambler, in such a long version, but better than that of the Get Yer Already Ya¹s Out 1969. For many, maybe the biggest version that has been executed never, and that it appeased to the mass of ophidian, loved by Jagger, the Harmoniquista of Hamelin.
How in all the chronicles, it is spoken more than Jagger, symbol of the group in front of the public opinion. It is him who provokes more followers when appearing in front of the press like part of the Jet-Sep and the world of the fashion. But in the devotion for this band, there is a second religion, underground, more rockanrolera, the one that bases their cult on Keith Richards, to the one who on Tuesday the Vatican multitude requested her sanctification.
The ³Oeeoeeoe, Richaaards, Richaaards, Richaaards² that lasted several minutes to the moment of the presentation, made the legendary guitarist to be moved on the edge of the tears and that in sign of pain, I/you/he/she covered suddenly with the hands her eyes humid, before admitting in front of the microphone that the long ovation had made him forget as presenting the following song. The expression deserved even more ³oeees², but Richards he/she reached to recover to execute This Place is Empty -in a concert where the ballads were reduced to the mìnimo - and to also continue with Happy, offering the multitude one of the best actings that has had him as vocalist in all its career.
After two hours five minutes, this public was forced to admit that the mass had finished and that its favorite priest would not leave more to the scenario, no matter how much the public continued chanting the riff of Satisfaction, although the song had finished. Argentina is the only country where most of the fanatics profess the religion of Richards and that is explained because the root rockanrolera of this country doesn't have comparison in the world. Richards represents the alive image from the life to the style rock and roll and here they reproduce constantly young of 20 years that they form bands and they bet to live in that way. If England was the mother, in the XXI Century the history of the Rock has that rescribirse and to be reinterpreted from Argentina, not only for the intensity of the concerts that you/they have given the Stones here from 1995, but because it is the only country where that music style is transmitted from parents to children through the generations and therefore it is the place where he/she has future. And today, after 8 years of wait, other 60,000 fanatics will also demonstrate that so much that root has made them miss the Stones.
