Rage Against The Machine - The Battle of Mexico City
Outside Mexico City's Sports Pavilion, hundreds of young Rage fans rattle metal fences and throw rocks at
the increasingly nervous police. Inside, a seething crowd of 5,000 lucky ticket holders cram into the
cavernous pavilion chanting anti-government slogans and poking their middle fingers into the thick, sweaty
air while waiting for Rage Against the Machine to storm the stage.
One of the greatest live acts in music history, Rage only affirms that fact with this show. Whatever club,
theater, arena, or stadium they're in, the opening of each Rage Against the Machine show always feels like a
grenade has gone off. But this night it was as if a truckful of bombs blew up as the band tore into the
opening salvo of "Testify." Fans cascaded toward the stage like rippling waves stopping only to pogo
up-and-down like jackhammers.
Longtime supporters of various political causes in Mexico, Rage were performing for the very first time in
Mexico City. The connection between the band and the audience is electric. From the early "all hell can't
stop us now" chant in "Guerilla Radio" to the blood-curling screams in the finale of "Freedom," there is an
urgency at this show that is unrivaled. This is live rock & roll as it's meant to be heard: fierce, funky,
uncompromising. This is Rage Against the Machine in their finest hour. 68 minutes. Zack de la Rocha,
vocals; Y.tim.K, bass; Brad Wilk, drums; Tom Morello, guitars.
