The cold became more present in Berlin as dusk and in the vicinity of Berlin Arena already hundreds of fans were present from Chicago. Surprised as a parent, accompanied by four children, their children, who probably did not exceed twelve years old, asked where he was disoriented concert hall. A young tattooed guided them. The contrast and the wide range of fans of Rise Against was present.
Taking a dark road that led to a huge abandoned factory, passing right by the bus tour of the band led by Tim McIllrath, viewers were flowing into a huge room (capacity 7500 people) to be opened before the public. The bars, including a cocktail-were full, and so was the store merchandising, and little by little was breathing the air with thousands of people waiting to start.
Touché Amoré kicked out with a hardcore convincing, compact, with a string section led by Fender Telecasters that roared to the beat of a very reliable battery screamo accompanied by singer Jeremy Bolm. After a pause too long, the concert was delayed for the start of the second opening act: The Architects. The British probably had his best night, at least in terms of sound. The battery, with a drum too strong, overlapped to the subtraction of instruments, sometimes even the voice of the band-and even reached saturation with constant and very rapid blows. In counterpoint, vocalist, very charismatic, he encouraged an audience already delivered and let the spirits too high for the headliner.
About 22:20 pm, Rise Against came on stage with almost 7000 people in front of them.
Survivor Guilt was the theme that opened the concert, preceded by a short introductory video that was projected on screens LED. Reels, continued with Ready To Fall and briefly presented Collapse (Post-Amerika) to continue with a single of 2007, The Good Left Undone. After touching at least one subject of his last three albums, and totally devoted audience jumping to the beat of the music, Tim McIlrath gave way to a theme of his latest album underground, Broken English. With hardly a pause, mosh pits were springing up around the room while, with a spectacular stage presence, Help is on the way, Disparity by Design, or Drones took shape and the German public were sung as if it were your last concert those of Chicago.
The drummer Brandon Barnes, with good sound and good performance, marked the beginning of one of the best-known Americans: Re-Education (Through Labor), bringing the concert to a very high level, a level that Blood to Bleed, Satellite and Paper Wings took care to maintain. A couple in their fifties, turned their heads and danced like crazy hectic following the concert. With little rest, the punk band marked the end of the first phase of a spectacular concert performance of another of his best known songs: Prayer of the Refugee, extended version.
With a rapt audience, Rise Against took a break for a few minutes and then returned to the stage McIlrath with his acoustic guitar. More relaxed but no less epic, acoustic version played in Audience of One and Swing Life Away known as the audience Germanic brandish their lighters waving in the air and chanted in unison.
With all the new members on stage, performed the final concert before the encore, with Make It Stop (September's Children) and a powerful Give It All that left the audience wanting more German.
And Americans do not want anyone to leave with that feeling. With even more power-if possible-Midnight Hands and The Strength to Go On as caged beasts went through their instruments and, after the singer agradeciera the public to be their "savior", Rise Against performing Savior took leave, with a single howling by guitarist Zach Blair. Between jumps, joy and applause, the band disappeared from the stage.
