Editors + The Maccabees + Wintersleep @ Palacio Vistalegre (09/12/09, Madrid)
Fucking lame show. I’m not blaming Editors for it (they did a great performance, full of passion and energy), just the silly promoters and the venue. They had to play at La Riviera (nice place) just like the last time they came to Madrid, but 15 days before the show the promoters decided to upgrade the show just to sell some more tickets (it wasn’t even sold out at first!). And they picked a venue with horrible acoustics which isn’t ready to host live shows (it’s the place where Real Madrid basketball team usually plays): everything sounded like putting your head underwater, with a lot of echo. And they even have to stop the show for 10 minutes because the right loudspeakers broke down.
So this is a warning for The Boxer Rebellion: if you come back to play in Madrid again, please avoid Vistalegre at all costs! XD
