british band The 1975 was presented on the night of this Wednesday, March 29 at the Arena VFGin the Guadalajara Metropolitan Areaone day before his concert at the Palace of Sports, of the CDMX. This solo show by the group is part of the series that makes up their tour “At Their Very Best”with which –in addition to the Mexican Republic– they will tour several countries around the world.
Thus, the group made up of Matty Healy, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald y George Daniel He had his last presentation last November, when he took the stage of the Corona Capital; However, it is also expected that on Saturday, April 1, they will be part of the lineup of bands for the Tecate Pa’l Norte music festival.
music to enchant
On this occasion, for his solo concert, everything indicates that the base will be the songs included in his fifth studio album titled “Being Funny in a Foreign Language” (2022)his most recent production in a career spanning a decade.
As usual, the flow of people to access the central plank and the seats was slow, gradual; the tests of lights, audio and screens -arranged in conventional order, two vertical ones at the ends and the giant one in the center- excited the audience, until the thunderous flag with which the musical festival began, preceded by the natural hooting after a short delay .
The cameras They followed Healy from the dressing rooms, who arrived at the stage spotlight to smoke and drink (an undetectable brand red), to then start to beat a drum amidst the general shouting.
Of course, you can’t bargain with the band for the histrionic qualities of their front man, the efficiency of their musicians and the dynamism with which they take the stage, they don’t waste time and the connection with the public is direct and powerful; after five numbers, they energized the audience with interactive performances and letting the audience sing along (who provided a wonderfully loud response with “Oh Caroline” and his success “I’m in love with you”).
ways to conquer
The 1975 has given a complete show in La Perla Guadalajara; a play of lights in a simple format but that played emotionally with the songs, a set list that dosed each piece by balancing rhythms (sometimes romantic and others with the melodic stridency of good pop) and an impeccable sound, everything at stake to seduce and conquer the thousands of fans who gathered at the VFG Arena.
Matty Healy requires special mention: his ability to contact his audience is impressive; he knows how to use the instruments within his reach, not only his guitar but cameras and screens, with enormous gestural skill and a voice that he manages like no one else. Perhaps therein lies the quality of this sweetened rock but of indisputable quality.
The singer did not hesitate to describe this concert as “fun” (“and the best we’ve given in months”), and they had the luxury of inserting phrases from other people’s songs (the Backstreet Boys, for example) and the wine changed into a small pocket amphora, to toast with people. hits like “Somebody else”, “I’m not leaving if its not with you” o “If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know)” They made the night for the attendees, the show was continuous and the acoustic quality was great. The British band knows how to do their job and every scream from their fans seemed to reward -by far- their quality and interpretive talent.
