Sting – 19 June 2006

Petrovaradin Fortress, Novi Sad

„He exists, he has arrived and he is singing for us“ is just one of the comments which could be heard at Sting's concert performed at Petrovaradin Fortress on Monday evening. It might sound prosaic or even pathetic, but it is something that you can always count on when it comes to emotions, and they were abundant this evening.

In front of an audience of about 20,000 people, Sting was showing, for almost two hours, how the Big ones did it and why his name was followed by a star and the title of the British Sir. That was why many (expected?) comments were not heard, as well as a bit of contempt couldn't be even seen although the audience's wish for more songs was not carried out.

Generally, anyone who was at the Fortress that evening, can rightfully say that he or she was treated with respect, at least when it comes to musicians. The same as it may be said that Sting didn't come to „knock off“ Novi Sad, but the famous perfectionist made the audience feel that the world's guest had arrived with the coordinated team and left nothing at random, not even more encore appearances than it had been foreseen.

Sting gave the priority of appearance to Joe Sumner his son, who was warming up the audience with his band Fiction Plane. It wasn't being waited long for the scene to be darkened and when the Fortress heard the first measures of Message in Bottle after „Good evening Novi Sad and Serbia“ having been said, it was clear that what the audience could listen to on the records or compact CDs was not „made-up“ in the studio, polished and unachievable alive. When it comes to Sting, that is why it doesn't surprise that there is no deception and that he is the one who can sing, being in complete harmony with the instrument he plays, all the concert - breathlessly.

For this reason, the comments of the ones having heard the songs such as Englishman in New York, Walking On The Moon, Fields of Gold, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Shape Of My Heart among other songs, do not surprise, because they sensed that they finally saw and heard, in front of them, what they could only listen to on players or gramophones.

Partizan stadium

AC/DC, the legendary Australian rock and roll and heavy metal band, rocked Belgrade Tuesday evening at the Partizan stadium, playing to what organisers estimated were 45,000 fans.

The concert, which was touted as the spectacle of the year, lived up to expectations. With a spectacular stage set up 21 meters deep and 75 meters high, in the northern part of the stadium, fans had great access and views to their rock idols.

The band started with a locomotive pulling up on stage, followed by more intense visual and sound affects, and ended the concert with cannon fire.

The concert lasted a little over two hours after getting a late start, playing some new songs from their "Black Ice" album. But most songs were from their greatest hits.
