No sé si alguna vez habíamos comentado que aquí el Día del Trabajo lo celebran el primer lunes de septiembre, por aquello de evitar reminiscencias comunistas. Pues bien, en Rockford es cuando aprovechan para celebrar el festival On the Waterfront , al que volvimos a asistir sillas-de-cámping-en-ristre, como en años anteriores. Como ya dijimos alguna vez, es la única oportunidad de ver gente caminando por la ciudad, así que como para desaprovechar la ocasión. Además de diversos escenarios localizados en pleno downtown, hay atracciones y mucha comida y bebida.
Este año nos dedicamos almost exclusively on the blues. The first night we went to the concert Candye Kane, a young Californian blues with so much energy and talent as kilos, and a very competent band, which stressed the guitarist Laura Chavez, the clone image and sound of Stevie Ray Vaughan missed .
On Saturday we had the opportunity to see another blues legend, Magic Slim, who at 73 still touring tacos on tour, despite the years and the tonnage (man, not a barrel, but it is not slim to say). I was very impressed with their version of Catfish Blues, slow and heavy. Here you have a piece of your action rockfordiana.
Last night, Sunday, we had very clear where to go and we ended up in the concert of the Pleistocene world star who played this year, neither more nor less than Billy Idol. The truth is that there were loads of people, I was surprised that this had been so famous in these parts as for almost 30 years after his glory days are put together so many natives who knew their songs. I, removing Dancing with myself and Rebel yell, I must admit I did not know anything. Anyway, the company was good, we laugh a lot and rajamos a bit, which also account.
