Just like a legend

I will remember last Saturday until the day I die. When I first got to the Hop Farm Festival I was pretty sure I wouldn't ever forget that day, but not for good reasons. Finally the moment had come: Bob Dylan, live. It was thanks to his songs that I left tasteless music behind, but people had recommended me not to have expectations, not to expect the Seventies Dylan, not to expect anything apart from the decadence of an old legend. So did they say about Pete Doherty. He was good too. Everyone was quite calm and when it was Dylan turn, right after the frontman of The Kinks finished, people went crazy. No room to breath in an outdoors venue. how crazy is that? But all the shoves and the steps on my foot were totally worth it, especially considering that I was in the third row. Even if the times of glory are gone for him, he still has an amazing energy for a 68-year-old who is on a never ending tour since 1988.


Recordar� el s�bado pasado hasta el d�a en que me muera. Cuando llegu� al festival Hop Farm estaba segura que no iba a olvidar ese d�a, pero no por buenas razones. Finalmente el momento hab�a llegado, iba a ver a Bob Dylan en directo, pero la voz de mis amigos resonaba con fuerza en mi cabeza y me recordaba que seguramente ser�a decepcionante. Gracias a Bob Dylan abandon� los 40 principales y por ello le estar� eternamente agradecida. Pero tambi�n ten�a miedo. Ya sab�a que no me pod�a esperar al Dylan de Desire, pero tampoco quer�a creer que solo ver�a decadencia en el escenario, pese a todas las advertencias. Incluso Pete Doherty estuvo bien! Todo el mundo guardaba la calma, pero justo cuando el cantante de The Kinks se despidi� un remolino de gente se agazap� a mi alrededor. A pesar de ser un evento al aire libre no hab�a aire ni para respirar. Pisotones, empujones, codazos... y todo eso bajo uno de los d�as m�s calurosos del verano en Inglaterra, pero mereci� la pena. Especialmente considerando que vi todo el concierto desde la tercera fila. Incluso si los d�as de gloria para Bob han pasado, a�n conserva una energ�a incre�ble, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que lleva en la carretera non-stop desde 1988.
