Chapter 383: Open-air concert

To avoid the May sun, the open-air concert is scheduled to start at 7pm.

The members of Sword and Rose came to the scene in the afternoon to prepare. When everyone saw Olivier coming, their morale was boosted, and they came to greet him affectionately.

Duchamp specially arranged recording equipment at the venue and invited a photographer, hoping to record the scene of this concert.

There is no radio station or newspaper in Rure, so there is no local media to cover and report, which is a flaw for promoting the band, but it is a good protection for Olivier's Hulai.

"The people outside seem to be getting more and more together!"

The band members temporarily requisitioned the reception room on the second floor of the Lane Ford Store to rest, and they could observe the scene in the square from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the reception room.

It is normal for there to be a lot of people, this is originally the center of Lulei, and there is no admission fee for the concert, and the nearby residents come to join in the fun after eating.

"But we haven't even had the right lines, how will we perform later?" Isaac asked worriedly.

Duchamp took out a rough program and handed it out to everyone.

"Be calm, we're doing a street show, and it's about improvisation. Later, I will make a guest appearance, and the order of the performance will be according to the list compiled by Lilmuel, and it will end at about 10 o'clock, a full three hours, everyone has to hold on. There are four tracks in the middle, which are played separately and sung, this is a time for other people to rest, and occasionally there is a problem, and it is okay to run out, anyway, there are many of us, a full twelve people. ”

The concert has long been advertised on the student radio, and many residents who have nothing to do have nothing to do have long brought their own small benches and melon seeds, and occupied a good position under the stage, waiting to see the excitement.

As night approaches, the square outside the window is lit up with colorful lights, illuminating the sky. Students from Lulei University of Technology also came one after another, and the square was even more crowded.

Hawkers in the city also smelled the opportunity and came to sell bread and soda snacks, and the square looked a bit like a big market.

It was almost time, and Learmour came over urging everyone to get up and take their seats.

There was no flashy appearance, and the band members walked out of the lounge with their instruments and walked onto the makeshift stage to quietly greet the students in the audience.

The students of Class A arrived early and took a good position in the middle of the stage early. Duchamp glanced at it and saw that most of the people had come to cheer, and only Morgana had not come.

Duchamp took the moonlight in high spirits, approached the microphone, and began to host, first thanking the people who came to the concert, then placing advertisements for the Green Leaf Society, and finally beginning to introduce the members of the band 'Sword and Rose', each member stood up and bowed to the audience when their names were mentioned.

"Sword and Rose is a band formed by students from all over the Erebonian Empire who have come to study at the Rulei Technical University, and our mission is to convey grassroots music and the voice of love.

What is the grassroots, the grassroots is the life of the grass buried in the depths of the earth, although ordinary and humble, but with the most tenacious and tenacious life and dignity, just like the majority of civilians in this world.

We dedicate all the music to you, all the people present, including the workers, students, children, the elderly, the citizens who go out for a walk at night, the vendors selling yakiniku on the edge of the square, the beggars who beg, and the passers-by who occasionally meet today because of various fates, may music pour a ray of sunshine into your lives and warm and illuminate everyone's hearts. ”

After Duchamp finished speaking, with a light touch of the moonlight, Lemmour's piano voice rang out, and although Olivier commented on his lack of expressiveness, he was still in charge of the piano performance.

This first song was Olivier's impromptu 'Encounter of Love' that night, and it was the same for the night.

After the concert began, Duchamp discovered that the central square of Louré was a natural venue suitable for concerts.

On one side of the square is the upper level of Rulei, and many people stand on the edge of the road on the upper level overlooking the lively scene of the square. There are many buildings around the plaza that act as speakers that naturally reflect sound waves, so the overall music effect is not bad.

The people of this era were more pure, and whenever a song was performed late, they would applaud desperately to express their gratitude to the band that performed hard.

But this is not the rhythm that a concert should have, it is really warm, interactive and moving.

The first little ** of the concert came when the band sang the 'Crimson Hymn', although Duchamp felt that the music of this song was mediocre, but the high roar and heroism shown at the end were still very moving, and the atmosphere set off by the chorus was far beyond the single.

The bandmates quickly discovered that people preferred noise in such occasions, and they quickly blended into the scene, improvised a lot of noise, such as the bass playing, the guitar lingering, and the piano colliding.

At the end of the song, Duchamp raised the rhythm of the mandolin to a rhythm many times faster than usual, and improvised a long, brisk and tricky ending, which soon won a round of applause from the audience.

This inspired Olivier to play and sing the 'Brewer's Serenade' in the back, in which he took his lute skills to the extreme, and with a few guitars and mandolins, this piece with a peculiar drunken melody was even more rendered than in the record.

Amid the applause of the audience, the first stage of the performance ended, and the band members breathed a sigh of relief.

Duchamp stepped forward to continue the host, he introduced some of the songs he had just sung, thanked the Green Leaf Club and the Lane Ford Store for providing backstage support and services for the concert, and then loudly announced that the next performance was 'The Last Rose of Summer'.

There was a cheer in the square. This song has become popular at Lulei University of Technology, and as the music sounded at the door, the students in the audience began to sing along softly.

Olivier came to sing the song, and he made a new fit with the lute he was good at, and the elegant tune was like a breeze, and the noise in the square suddenly fell, and even the babies began to listen.

Duchamp plucked the strings gently with his voice, while secretly watching the audience's reaction, very satisfied with the effect of tonight's performance.

At this time, he noticed that there was a little commotion near the edge of the stage in the square, and a middle-aged man in simple clothes was softly saying something to the staff next to him, and the employee of the Green Leaf Club was trying to stop his behavior so as not to disturb the concert.

"Huh?" Duchamp waved softly to the staff to indicate what the situation was.

The staff member ran over and whispered to the side of the stage, "That gentleman is blind, and he said that his daughter has a birthday today and wants the band to play a piece for his daughter." ”

Duchamp glanced at the sloppy man who was still standing there, and said softly, "Tell him, we promise him." ”

After singing the song, there was a warm response from the audience, and this song, which spread first, has become a famous song in Lulei.

Duchamp walked to the front of the stage and said in a loud voice:

"Just now, we received a request from a father who was there asking us to sing a song for his daughter, because today is his daughter's birthday, we feel very honored, every day, many people are born, many people suffer from illness and die, for everyone, birthday is a unique commemoration, the beginning of life. Let's bring this great father to the stage. ”

The blind man, guided by the staff, walked up to the stage, and he was so excited that it took a long time before he reluctantly took the microphone and said a few words, telling the audience that his daughter's name was Sheila.

After urgent discussions with several bands next to him, Duchamp decided to include a song in the singing, 'Children of the Goddess', which is often used as birthday wishes on the mainland.

"Baby, you are a blessing from the Goddess, an angel to us. Every day, your life shines and you are always healthy and happy. ”

Since there was no preparation, the band used a chorus and random performance to complete this birthday song with simple melodies and simple lyrics, mixed with Olivier's impromptu play, which made the whole song more enthusiastic.

Of course, more people would sing the song, and all the people in the square began to sing in chorus, forming a huge echo. The ragged man and his daughter were so excited that tears flowed from his dry eyes.

Every successful concert needs such an opportunity to detonate the audience's atmosphere.

This small incident that burst out unintentionally made the atmosphere of the concert more harmonious and the audience more engaged.

After that, gradually entering the peak unit, some more catchy songs began to float over the square one after another. There are also various improvisations in between.

Duchamp arrogantly challenged Isaac, and it was obvious who would suffer against the bass, but Duchamp was a well-informed man after all, and he quickly gained an advantage with various postures such as jumping, kneeling on one knee, and twisting his body to the sound of the piano.

Isaac was no stranger to the set, and he quickly regained control of the stage with a more dominant bass.

Olivier snatched Fang's position as the drummer and began to beat a dense drum beat to match the rhythm of the two men.

All along, Fang has been trying to fill the gap in the band as a drummer in order to continue to mix with everyone, but this obviously also requires talent and time.

Isaac quickly adapted to this particular way of acting, and after the song was over, he arrogantly hooked his hand at Olivier.

Olivier gave up his position as drummer and ran to occupy the piano with more certainty. A piece of fantasy music wafted out, it was 'Woman in a Green Peaked Hat'.

The song didn't have such a rapid tempo, but under the enzymatic effect of this enzymatic effect ignited by the atmosphere of the scene, Olivier's overheated brain came up with an incredible melody, and he re-gave the song a new rhythm and meaning with a lot of ups and downs, eager fingering that only a bistro accompanist would use, and a short high note, turning the song from a light ballad into a hot song suitable for a bar.

The rest of the room listened to the new tune and completely forgot about, and in fact did not know how to cut into Olivier's variations, which almost became Olivier's solo.

When he had had enough of showing off and ended the performance with a sudden and fierce stop, the audience tentatively paused for a few seconds before they began to applaud violently.

Duchamp applauded the audience and thought to himself, "It's good that the live recording was prepared, otherwise Olivier might not have remembered his performance." ”

Amid the applause of the tsunami, Olivier stood up triumphantly and saluted the audience.

(I heard that there is a classification recommendation today.,This is the first time in this book.,Although I still haven't seen where it is.,But I'm still excited)
