“Open it, open it, slowly…” You might be invited to open (and read) the article like that, but who knows. Old Morla He knows that these lyrics are always typical of the final song. That’s what he does the Tres Cantos groupclose a cycle to enter a break until 2026 to rest. Pucho, Guille, David, Jorge, Juanma and Álvaro They announced the temporary shutdown (one day later than planned because Pedro Sánchez had counter-scheduled them).) with the release of his latest album Supplements.
The last opportunities to see them live took place in Madrid, in the hall The French RivieraThe concert begins with the first song from their latest studio album, Bridges. “Ultimately, all the bridges will still be there after we’re gone”… There are letters that remind them that they are leaving. But “put it on your grave that this is not the end”, because they assured that it was only a “see you later”.
“We always come back”
The third song, Major holidayIt’s quite a declaration of intent. The 2200 “brave” ones-as his fans are usually called because of Braveone of their most iconic songs – vibrated to the sound of songs that are already anthems. Masterstroke Then, Pucho addressed the audience, pointing out that he had not been in the room for ten years: “Farewell parties always bring welcome parties. We always come back, farewell but look forward to the welcome parties,” he said enthusiastically.
The song that gives its name to their album arrives, Supplements: “We had a great finale,” he says, followed by the unthinkable “but someone out there has already forgotten us.” And from there to his beginnings. To that album that propelled them to the top of the national scene: one day in the world. That “we crush our bodies tight” might have to do with the tute the band wears in that final climax: six concerts in eight days. “Even a virus has infiltrated the van with these climate changes,” Pucho said.
The apotheosis was served. The Virgin of Humanity, I followed him Things to do on a Sunday afternoone, which is a real live explosive device. And then, The bogeyman And Fucking sweetin which a very clear and tuned choir of voices was orchestrated among the audience, making the words vibrate even more. All accompanied by a tide of weapons that choreographed the emotion in coordinated waves.
Celebrating goodbye with the “Valientes community”
After the love-hate declaration of Oh, Madrid arrived Copenhagen. The band gave us a beautiful image, everyone in an integrated circle around David ‘El Indio’s’ drums. The moments of complicity between them were repeated, but the image of this circle, of this united band, visibly excited, was just as powerful as their music. They formed a small committee on stage, in this small-format concert designed for what is called ‘courageous community‘. Tickets had to be registered and sold out in just fifteen minutes.
“Our records are still playing,” he recalls.old school. The waltz of June 23 gives Pucho a bit of a break, as his performance is brimming with energy, the equivalent of a double session of crossfit. After the song, the singer justifies this song in the playlist because it didn’t sound like it ten years ago and Guille jokes: “Next time Palm trees in La Manche“, referring to the decoration of the room which, in the background, features leafy leaves on one of the bars.
Alberto and the 117 db
Defeat, Maps and I tell you with David ‘el Indio’ coming to the forefront to highlight, Every man for himself and… a renewed classic. The staging of Bravewith arrangements that do not distort its essence. Then the: “Lo, lo lo lo lo, la la la la la la la la la la..” the most anticipated of Shahara Abbey Road. After the song, the concert interlude in which the music does not stop. For about four minutes, the audience continues to sing the melody to call the band back on stage.
And that’s when Pucho introduces us Albertthe sound technician. He talks about how he doesn’t like the acoustics of small rooms full of “fanatic fans”. And he also says that they turned Alberto’s headache into a competition. They measure the decibels produced by the public… Barcelona generated a not insignificant figure of 102 decibels and then they confirm that Madrid exceeded 107 dbs.
25 years of Vetusta Morla
Pucho, Guille, David, Jorge, Juanma and Álvaro celebrate a quarter of a century of career. They have reviewed the geography of their music and their tours. “From the beginning in Tres Cantos, Café La Palma, to Caracol, through Joy Eslava, apart from her massive concerts like the one at the Wanda Metropolitano.
They thanked all their fans without exception for their love, old and new: “Thank you, take good care of yourselves and see you soon at the welcome party.” Cathedrals, winter quarters AndStrange Days It was the grand final fireworks display. From the intimate acoustics of Cathedralsin which the room fell silent after the great catharsis of lolololo; to these announced farewells that ended with a song of hope: “We still have many gifts to open…”. The audience gave them a long ovation. They greeted each other enthusiastically and said their goodbyes, disappearing from this stage (and from everyone in general) until 2026 at the rate of summer love of the Dynamic Duo.
