Great setlist!! Would have loved to see this. Any chance it was filmed to be released on a DVD?
How were the performances? Do the guys still "have it"?
Unfortunately it wasn´t filmed. Conditions weren´t the best. It would have been better just a Barón Rojo gig at Madrid Bullring or Sports Arena, not at that Festival.
A lot of people opted for not going ´cause: 1) they became skeptics after years of shit talking and 2) Metalway Festival was celebrated the same weekend than Kobetasonik (300 km), also in Spain with Motley Crue, Dream Theater,...
Besides, weather was awful. Not only a windy day but a gale, almost a hurricane). Festival had risk of cancellation because of that. It was 15ºc but the sensation was 5ºc. We´re talking about summer in spain and people weren´t aware (just t-shirts).
Barón Rojo started at 2:15 am and a lot of people couldn´t stand the whole gig because of cold.
However, performances were brilliant. I had seen Sherpa with his band previously and his voice had almost disappeared. But it seems he have trained a lot last months and he did it OK. In the end, he had a little problems but overall it was fantastic.
Brothers De Castro and Sherpa aren´t the best of friends but on stage the still "have it", there was chemistry in the air.
They ended a little disappointed with the response (they expected much more people) but it wasn´t the best enviroment. I guess and hope that there will be more Barón Rojo shows with the classic line up and if that happens, I´m sure in Madrid there will film a DVD
