Pessoas,
o ponta pé dessa viagem pela Europa foi o show da Regina Spektor em Bruges, no Cactus Festival. Além de tudo mais que passear pela Europa pode oferecer, ainda iríamos num show bacana.
Obviamente, a expectativa para o show era grande. A gente sempre falava sobre, e eu vivia imaginando como ela estaria, com que roupa, o set list e tudo mais. Essas coisas de fã, sabe?
Chegou o dia, fomos pro local, garantimos um bom lugar, e esperamos. Esperamos mais que o devido, pois o show começou após 15 minutos do horário marcado. E, acreditem, isso é um fato a ser registrado.
Na grande hora, me aparece uma Regina sendo praticamente carregada pelo braço, chorando, toda de preto, sem um pingo de maquiagem, cara pálida de quem chorou muito por bastante tempo, e cabelo bem natural, ou seja, meio encaracolado e cheio de frizz.
Não entendemos bulhufas, só percebemos que algo não ia bem. Acontece que dia 06 de julho, na Suíça, onde a banda estava para o festival de jazz de Montreux, morreu afogado um dos músicos da banda, Daniel Cho, que era também muito amigo da Regina. Como estamos viajando e tals, não sabíamos disso.
Então, eu esperava uma Regina com aquele bocão vermelho, a pele lisa e perfeita, o cabelo bem estiloso e uma roupa fashion, como a vejo nos clipes e shows pelo youtube. Esperava uma moça sorridente, empolgada, interagindo com o público. Esperava ouvir os grandes hits e cantar junto.
Mas não foi assim. Foi um show intimista, quase um luto. Quer dizer, foi um luto. O lugar de Dan estava montado no palco, mas vazio. O show foi oferecido algumas vezes para o Dan Cho, a Regina chorou todo o tempo, quase não falou nada, a não ser explicar levemente o porquê daquele estado, e pedir que rezássemos pela família dele.
Nada de grandes hits. O show foi aberto com Better, cantado e tocado de forma bem melancólica. Pela letra da música, acho que apropriadamente incluída para Dan. A seguir, uma grande seqüencia de músicas de Far, mas não Laughing With (essa também seria sacanagem, né?) ou The Cauculation.
De muito bom, teve Apres Moi, do Begin to Hope. Essa eu não esperava!
A maior parte do show, somente voz e piano. Vez ou outra, rolava uns abraços entre os músicos, que ficaram a maior parte do tempo sentados na parte de trás do palco também assistindo a cantora. Todo mundo arrasado.
Após Wallet, mais um chorado e pequeno discurso, agradecimentos à platéia e um tímido "good night". Levantou-se e foi-se, 10 minutos antes do previsto.
Apesar de ter perdido 25 minutos e do show e de não ter ouvido os grandes hits, acho que demos sorte! Foi um show único, e eu me senti no backstage. A sensação de um grande ídolo como humano, que tá na merda e mesmo assim tem que ir lá e fazer o possível, é impagável. A falta de maquiagem, o cabelo normal, ou seja, nada de glamour, deixou tudo mais interessante.
A voz, mesmo engasgada, continuava linda. Valeu a pena! Só lamento ter ficado do lado esquerdo do palco, pois a lateral do piano não me deixava a ver tocar. A minha visão era a da foto acima. Pra quem for ao show no Brasil, arrisque ficar do outro lado.
PS: esse texto será postado em inglês também. Lógico, com a ajuda do tradutor do google. Acho que a informação será válida mundo afora. Sim, tô demais, bem! heheheheheh
Beijocas. Vanessa

Regina Spektor in Cactus Festival, Brugge.
People,
the begging of that trip to Europe was the show's Regina Spektor in Bruges Cactus Festival. In addition to everything else that wander through Europe can offer, would still show a nice. Obviously, the expectation for the show was great. We always talked about, and I wondered how she'd lived with that machine, the set list and everything. These things that fans do, you know?
The day came, we went to the site, we guarantee a good seat, and waited. We expect more than the result, since the show started 15 minutes after the scheduled time. And believe me, this is a fact to be recorded.
In the great hour, appears to me a Regina was practically carried by the arm, crying, all in black, without a speck of makeup, pale face of those who wept for a long time, and hair and natural, that is, half curly and full of frizz .
Understanding nothing, just realize that something was not right. It turns out that on 06 July in Switzerland, where the band was to the Montreux Jazz Festival, drowned one of the musicians in the band, Daniel Cho, who was also a close friend of Regina. As we are traveling and portals, we did not know that.
So I waited a Regina with that red mouth, smooth skin and perfect hair and a stylish and fashionable clothes, as I see in the youtube clips and shows. Expecting a girl smiling and excited, interacting with the public. Expected to hear the big hits and sing along.
But not so. It was an intimate show, almost a mourning. I mean, it was a mourning. Dan's place on the stage was set, but empty. The show was sometimes offered to Dan Cho, Regina cried all the time, almost did not say anything unless lightly explain why that state, and ask to pray for his family.
No big hits. The show opened with Better, sung and played in very melancholy. For the lyrics, I think appropriately included for Dan Here's a great sequence of songs from Far, but not Laughing With (this would also be kidding, right?) Or The Cauculation.
Very good, had Apres Moi, from Begin to Hope. I was not expecting this!
Most of the show, only voice and piano. Time or another, rolled some hugs among musicians, who were most of the time sitting in the back of the stage watching the singer also. Everybody's devastated.
After Wallet, more crying and a little speech, thanks to the audience and a shy "good night". He got up and went, 10 minutes ahead of schedule.
Despite having lost 25 minutes and the show and not having heard the big hits, I think we lucky! It was a unique show, and I felt I was in a backstage. The feeling of a great idol as a human, that's on the shit and still have to go there and do the best, is priceless. The lack of makeup, hair normal, ie nothing glamorous, made things interesting.
The voice, the same choking, still beautiful. Worth it! My only regret having been on the left side of the stage, because the side of the piano would not let me see the ring. My vision was the picture above. To whom is the show in Brazil, risk getting the other side.
That's it. Vanessa
