Diana Arbenina received a passion stadium as a birthday gift

“It’s incredible,” Diana Arbenina said with a slight tremble in her voice, looking at the cheering crowd during her Moscow show. “Birthday is not important, this concert and this meeting are important,” the singer will add a little later. To receive a sea of ​​fan love for your birthday, and offline, is a truly unique gift. In addition, every stage appearance for the Night Snipers is now very important. “ZD” transmits from the thick of things.

Warming up is rarely remembered and even less often has some special meaning. But in this case, the choice of the artist was unexpected. Vanya Dmitrienko, firstly, is too famous for warming up, and secondly, it is not very perceived against the background of Night Snipers. However, this alliance has a history.

Diana and Ivan took part in the TV show “Battle of Generations”, where Dmitrienko sang a cover of “31 Spring”. The rock lady was imbued with almost maternal feelings, a little melted before the sonority of young ligaments, called the new version of her hit very fresh and, in fact, blessed Vanya for the further performance of the track. It can be said that the singer prepared for the exit in front of the main character of the evening. The guitarist, bassist and drummer gave the sweet hits almost an alternative flavor and the audience, in general, reacted a little more actively than it happens during the warm-up.

“Your children probably know these songs, but still, let’s swing,” the young pop star shouted and the people shook, forgiving the artist for his ironic ageism. A cover for “31 Spring” was performed at the end of the set and became a bridge to the main part of the action.

How it looked

Stadium ambitions and a rousing industry are not the best match, so it’s not easy to reconcile them. The directors of the show obviously did not feel like children who are allowed everything in an expensive toy store and put together a concert from the really necessary. The stage is large and smaller, one huge screen and three more modest ones, a sufficient amount of light and sound, smoke, a generous portion of pyrotechnics and cold fountains. All this is not something that makes you open your mouth in amazement, but, nevertheless, helps to make the concert great.

But the main special effect on the Night Snipers 30th anniversary tour is, of course, the emotional connection with the audience. The prologue of the show features two legendary Queen tracks: Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are the Champions. After such an unobtrusive designation of the significance of the event, Diana Arbenina appears on the screen, surrounded by her group. The quartet begins to move backstage and gradually enters the football field, where, without any special fences, straight through the crowd, shaking hands and hugs, it goes to the stage and, thanks to the screen, the audience’s jubilation instantly multiplies.

Such outputs have been practiced since it became possible to transfer the image from the camera to the screen in real time. And apparently this technique will not become obsolete for a long time, because it still turns on huge crowds. The group finally rises to the stage, the field and the stands at this moment seem to be already actively involved in the process, and when pyrotechnics banged at the beginning of the song “CHOY” that opened the show, the celebration began outside the stadium.

Over the three decades of her active musical career, Diana could see how rock turns from trendy music into retro-exotic, feel the hysteria over hip-hop and appreciate the victory of dance rhythm over reason. She herself steadfastly kept the brand of a poet and composer, who feels very comfortable both in the image of a salon bard and in the brutal skin of a rock star. At the same time, she clearly did not strive for the laurels of an impregnable and uncompromising diva. There were collabs that went beyond her genre, there were lightweight songs for the radio, and also fashion shows in beautiful dresses, surrounded by Irina Allegrova, Grigory Leps and other pop establishment.

However, in a solo concert, all this is locked up. Diana offers her people a noisy rock show, in which even pop numbers like “Ringtone” are served exclusively in guitar packaging. But the main focus of course is on other songs. You can probably have a different attitude to hits with a beard, but if there is an opportunity to play non-stop “Catastrophically”, “31 Spring” and “Frontier”, thus sending fan emotions almost into space, then not doing it at a concert is simply stupid . And Diana does. She also plays The Actress, Asphalt, You Gave Me Roses, Yugo-2, offering a more than solid retrospective of herself.

From fresh there is the track “One”, which is something like the basis of the show. The line “So many people, you need one” appears on the biggest screen throughout the concert, and the song itself turns into a real anthem to rock unity in the spirit of U2. Diana’s son Artem joined the group, who played the bass guitar, as well as a very young drummer, and such a cross-generational rock mix made a hurricane impression on the audience.

The traditional problem of large venues is the complex communication between the artist, who is somewhere there, and the public, part of which sees everything that happens as if from the roof of the house. The screens help bring the show closer, but Diana also likes more old-fashioned tricks. “Nightingales” and “A Second Ago” sound almost acoustically. The singer sits at the piano on a small stage among a sea of ​​lights twinkling on the bracelets of the audience, and the music at this moment is surprisingly capable of embracing everyone and everyone.

Closer to the finale, rock star decides what is a security nightmare. The singer climbs over the barrier into the fan zone, “swims” over a not very small space in the hands of the audience, then moves to a more distant part of the stalls, where she is carried straight to the console. And back. Of course, the low-key lifestyle that Diana has long preferred to the violence of the past, allows you to get at your disposal something like a long youth. However, the singer herself recently reported on social networks about a spinal injury she received at home, slipping on the stairs. But if you don’t know about this, then we can assume that on her 49th birthday the birthday girl is at the peak of her form.

After a wave of denunciations and passions in the sovereign telegram channels, Diana does not make harsh statements. But many of her words in the current context sound very biting. “I will take all the flowers, even lilies, to which I am allergic,” says the heroine of the show, going down to the audience. “But any allergy can be overcome, unlike stupidity.” At the end of the show, passions reach some dangerous level. “I’m here and I won’t give up,” shouts Diana, “So you won’t give up either!”

pros

Everything went well and thanks for that. It turned out to be a very visual concert from all sides. Two hours, during which hits succeeded each other at an impressive speed, once again made it clear how important these songs are for the tens of thousands of people who came to the Moscow show, and hundreds of thousands waiting for a date with the artist in cities where the tour had to be postponed. Also, such concerts help to evaluate the power of musical authorial talent. And against its background, the speculations of unknown haters seem especially ridiculous.

Minuses

Big anniversary concerts inevitably leave the most demanding two doubts. First, the set list. Few people managed to make it perfect and suitable for absolutely everyone. Probably, there were questions about the choice of Diana. Second: sound. On such venues, it can be difficult to control him throughout the concerts. Sometimes important words were a little drowned in the general noise. The benefit of the assembled public does not need an interlinear.

Party Phrase

“Mom, we are losing you,” a girl of about twenty remarked loudly, looking at how her mother began to dance, clearly announcing that the evening was no longer languid.
