The start-folkfestival Komos, Friday and Saturday will take place in the King’s Garden in the heart of Copenhagen on the opening day to present two outstanding veterans.
the 79-year-old singer, Povl Dissing, volunteered, however, to cancel one hour before showtime at noon, because he is still weakened after a drop in February, but in lonely majesty went Kris Kristofferson fortunately on the scene. Such as.
You could almost hear the bones squeak and creak, as knarken who reaches age 81 on Thursday, early in the evening sent its legendary limbs across the boards.
Kristofferson has visited Denmark several times in the past decade, and each time it feels like this is the last time we see the poetic countrygigant from Texas.
How was it determined also on a windswept scene in the capital, where the monumental songs, however, held the stoic singer up through the 60 minutes, who stressed that he is still chiseled in granite and it is the epitome of authenticity in cowboy boots.
the Remains of the voice trembled, the gnarled fingers faltered on the fretboard, and he forgot his harmonica.
But even at half the performance is Kristofferson tougher and more manly and dignified than the vast majority, as approximately just 1500 members of the audience paid tribute to the hero that drew gratefully on smiling and shook indulgently at the old head knowing that he was somewhat stronger in the beginning of the 1970s, where he published his iconic classics.
Troubadouren must have played them thousands of times, but they are simply not to slide up and ’Help Me Make It Through the Night’, ’For the Good Times’ and ’The Silver Tongued Devil and I’ created a reverent mood, while the audience still singing the spontaneous chorus of ’Me and Bobby McGee’ and the ultimate tømmermandssang, ’Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down’.
Kristofferson ended with the wistful ’Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends’ and was suddenly joined by a few gulls, which circled screaming over the stage.
The worn cowboy skulede up at them and smiled as if he also thought of the vultures in a relentless western.
But Kristofferson live yet. Such as.
