Lightening tour of one date in Atibaia, Brazil at the Campari Rock Festival. Wild crazy scenes brough on by too many Caipirinhas lead an over excited Danny to sprain his ankle during a particularly physical impression of Ronaldinho. The gig hangs in the balance as Danny takes to his bed with pain killers or limps around the swimming pool. Meanwhile everybody else enjoys the delights of rural Brazil at a more leisurely pace, taking in the flora and fauna and going for a spot of horse riding. Good sounds from openers, Cachorro Grande as the sun goes down. The show goes on at half past midnight, with a recuperated Danny, a waterlogged and useless Nordlead and a very raucous crowd, some of whom have waited ten years to see us. It's over all too soon as we retire and then wake up for a ten hour flight home. I for one would have been up for staying a bit longer but hopefully we'll be back before 2016!
