徹夜明けなもので、私の頭の中はぼーっとしたまま。出演アーティストは皆ちゃんとお昼頃からサウンドチェックしていたんだよね、偉いねェ、などと思いつつ、雨の降る中会場のO-Nestへ。 今夜のトップのスロッピー・ジョーは、スミスやペイル・ファウンテインズ等80年代の香りただようバンド。爽やかさと初々しさを醸し出していて、今後の成長が楽しみ。 続いては、BMXバンディッツの韓国公演で競演したジュリア・ハートのボーカル兼ギターのボビー。カンペを見つつやけに流暢に日本語でMCをしてくれて、自らの曲(１曲英語、他はハングル)の他、ティーンエイジ・ファンクラブやフィッシュマンズの曲も披露。 お隣の国のこと、もっと知らなくちゃいけないよね…、と思った。 そして、今夜のフランシスのライブは二部構成。 第一部、まずはアコースティックセット。前日と同じくグラスゴーのヒーロー・ナイスマンについて歌い、そしてリクエスト・タイム。と、いうか、今回の来日前に、ファンからのリクエストを集めていたのだけど、フランシスはティーンエイジ・ファンクラブの曲等々のサワリだけ演奏して「でも、この曲ボク知らないし」などと言って中断する始末(なんで？）。 で、結局、ザ・クリスタルズ(私の世代だとショーン・キャシディなんだけど）の「ダ・ドゥ・ロン・ロン」(Da Doo Ron Ron)をフル演奏。お客さんたちにも歌わせて、またまたエンターティナー振りを発揮。でも、若いお客さんはこの曲知っているのだろうか。 第二部はプレクトラム、田中貴(元サニーデイサービス)から成るジャパニーズ・バッド・ボーイズを率いてのバンド演奏。前日、そして第一部とは打って変わってノリノリ。プレクトラム高田氏の謎の通訳振りも相俟って、会場は愛と笑いとほのぼのさに溢れていた。アンコールは全員ナイスマンTシャツを着用し、ジュリア・ハートのボビー君も登場。ただもう、歌って笑って、楽しいとしか言いようがない雰囲気を残しライブは終了。 個人的には最近ウェールズづいていた私なのでしたが、「いや〜、グラスゴー、やっぱりいいねェ」と再確認した2日間でした。 photos and comment by izumikuma |
