They return to use image of the mask. Fans pleases the band of Seattle to 20 thousands in first of two shows in the Palace When del requested aid to him to Santo in the show Friday by the night in the Palace of Deportes, perhaps Eddie Vedder, vocalista of Pearl Jam, did not imagine that del would cause the annoyance of the Son Santo, because it used his image without permission and it involved it in a political subject that to him nor interests him. Between the subjects "Alive" and "Yellow Ledbetter", almost at the end of first of two shows of the American group in the City of Mexico, the singer was thrown to the ground having pretended to be noqueado and a person raised to rescue it, with the naked torso and the classic mask of the Mexican fighter. "Thanks, Santo. We needed to you with us. We needed to you in EU, so that you save to us of George Bush ", said Vedder, in English, to cause the row of all the assistants. And when the Son of Santo found out this bothered itself, because he says that the personage created by his father is non-political and not him lack to the respect to any agent chief executive only in vain. "he bothers much to Me that causes confusion, that people do not know if I am or no. Me they did not ask permission to me. He is not a personage who is of the public dominion, has owner. "Santo does not belong to any party and is necessary to respect the investiture, my function is not to speak of policy, and what they think who say it in their name, that they do not use my image. It is the second time that happens and I do not like ", explained, in interview," the Mask of Silver ". In 2003, in the first visit to Mexico de Pearl Jam, Vedder put the mask and simulated to strike to Bush while it sang "bu$hleaguer", which repeated in the others shows and caused the incomodidad of the Mexican. "I wait for an excuse. They risk to a demand. She is ignorante people who do not think about the consequences, because I am going much to EU to work and I do not travel with the mask. I always take it in the suitcase and they ask to me (in Migration) what I do and I identify myself. It is possible to be lent interpretations with evil intention. That other personages use, who make their own mask ", he stressed the Son of Santo. The band jammed the show of Friday with a gauging of 20 thousand people, who corearon the 28 subjects during almost two hours and average of recital. "Animal", "Last Exit", "Eleven", "I a.m. Mines", "Jeremy", "Last Kiss" and "Hard to Imagine" was some of the rolas that the band touched, besides which it invited to members of the teloneros, Mudhoney, to sing in the end. They uniform to its ídolos The five members of Pearl Jam put ' verdé: · Pearl Jam finished uniformed with playeras of the National Selection of Futbol when fans threw them for all of them. · Matt Cameron, Mike McCready, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard were put right away you, but Eddie Vedder did it as soon as a multitudinal choir shouted its name to him, so that it imitated his companions. · McCready was the daring musician more, because it lowered to the track of the "Copper Dome" to cross it by the corridors to the flanks, with all festejando. · fans of the band of grunge devastated with memorabilia in the first concert of the Palace of Deportes, because minutes before the show began, the authorized points of sale in the place no longer had official products. · the caps, playeras, sweater shirts and transfers of the tour of this year flew at the cost of 170, 150, 200 and 50 pesos, respectively, which is very little usual, since the salesmen remain almost always with merchandise, like playeras and t-shirts.
