Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 868 May God bless and keep you alwa
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaer and his group of nine people arrived at the Rolling Stones' performance venue in advance.

Although they arrived quite early, there were still people who had arrived earlier than them and were already waiting to enter at the party picnic outside the venue.

Most of the local rock fans knew Thorin and his friends. Seeing that they were about to go in early, they all greeted them:
"Tell Strauss! She is our pride!"

"You guys should also do your best. Next time the Rolling Stones come, go up and sing a few more songs for us."

"Come on, Magnet! Ciel, you go in first and get a good spot, and we'll come and join you later!"

In fact, it was not only Thorin and his friends who knew about Charles' proposal. Almost all the regular customers of Baggins Tavern knew about it. They all kept it a secret for Charles and thought about what they could do when the time came.

When they arrived at the gate, Strauss was already waiting there. After hugging everyone, she took Tarell's hand and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to meet the musicians of the Rolling Stones first!"

"Oh! I'm a little excited. Can we walk a little slower? Let me think about what I should say to Wave first when I see him. By the way, I brought bread for the band." He pointed to the two paper bags in Thorin and the others' hands.

Thorin raised it and gestured, saying, "Tariel is about to empty her aunt's bakery..."

Strauss took a bag and held it in his hand, smiling and continuing, "Then you better be careful, Wave is very picky, if he likes your bread, he might move your bakery to Spring City!"

This joke caught Tariel off guard, and she was really wondering, if Wave really didn't care about the invitation, should she accept or refuse?

But Strauss was not joking. Didn't Bian Lang bring George's craft beer back? And after living with Bian Lang for a long time, she knew very well that Bian Lang's staple food was definitely a Yunnan province appetite, but he still liked to eat baked goods as snacks, especially Yunnan ham bread.

If Bian Lang really likes it, they might cooperate to open a restaurant in Chuncheng. After all, besides music, Bian Lang likes to tinker with food and drinks.

When they arrived at the band's resting tent, Strauss complained before he even entered: "This cheese is here to take revenge, Evelyn, how can you eat this kind of cheese? If you weren't my agent, I would have suspected that you were sent by CAA to ruin my performance!"

"Isn't this the same taste as the fermented pork belly from Yunnan Province? You can eat that raw, but this is added to sausages..."

Dayong was not used to this either, so when Bian Lang was organizing his words to fight back, Dayong said first: "Evelin, I think your position as an agent is worrying!"

After that, he even turned to Dili and asked him to help translate. Dili put the box of Western food aside, and then translated to Evelyn with exaggeration: "Evelyn, Dayong asked me to tell you that you can leave. From now on, the Rolling Stones don't need you anymore!"

Although she knew it was a joke, Evelyn decided that in the future, she would never arrange any local specialties for the band on performance days in Europe. French fries, fried chicken, and hamburgers would be enough. If she really made these big guys eat something bad, her small body would not be able to bear it.

At this moment, Strauss opened the door curtain and walked in: "Wave, try my friend's bread..."

Bian Lang was also afraid, so he asked directly: "Isn't it the kind of stick that can beat the bassist to death?"

"Bian Lang, get out of my way! I'm leaving the team now, don't hold me back..."

"Go, go, go, go on your way. The bassists of Dafeng and Lu Zao are here. It's not easy to find a man with five legs, and the bassist..."

Just as the daily joke was about to continue, Bian Lang saw that Strauss was holding Tariel's hand and walking in.

"Oh, beautiful lady, thank you for the delicious food you provide us..." After saying that, Bian Lang took the bag from Strauss's hand and began to distribute it to everyone.

After biting down half of the bagel, Bian Lang felt that his sense of taste was back to normal. Otherwise, the sour cheese sausage with various flavors just now really made him want to doubt his life! And this bite of bagel with a strong wheat flavor really made Bian Lang retain the last bit of good impression of Welsh baked goods.

In less than ten minutes, while chatting with Thorinchar and others, Bian Lang and his gang wiped them out.

Evelyn was speechless this time. She didn't wait for Bian Lang and the others to speak. She directly asked Tariel for the address and then asked the staff to go and purchase the goods.

After taking photos with the Rolling Stones, Tarell and his group were taken to the stage by Strauss to have some fun.

Although Thorin's band had disbanded, he had not stopped practicing guitar at home. He took the Gibson Explorer 76' replica from Strauss's instrument group, tried a few notes, and said with a smile, "I don't think I need to buy a guitar myself now, right?"

Strauss smiled and shook his head, saying, "I still prefer the pianos I bought with my own money. If I accept sponsorship, I won't be able to freely choose the unique tones I like."

After the last performance of "Free Bird", people from Gibson came to visit us, and they came even though they knew that Bian Lang had a collaboration with Fender.

The goal was very clear. They wanted to collaborate with the Rolling Stones on a series of guitars called Free Bird, which would be modified based on the three guitars that Bian Lang and his friends used when they played "Free Bird".

The signing fee is 80 Euros, and the sales share is negotiable. The only mandatory requirement is that in all future official performances of the Rolling Stones, "Free Bird" can only be played using guitars from this series.

The terms do not conflict with the Rolling Stones' other musical instrument endorsements and cooperation, but the Rolling Stones did not agree immediately. Bian Lang chose the instrument just to restore the silver color of the original Earth version, but if there is a better tone that suits him, he doesn't mind changing the instrument.

After all, it has been almost 1977 years since 50, and the electric guitar is not a violin. The use of new technologies and materials can indeed make it easy for musicians to find more suitable instruments.

Although Thorin agreed with Strauss's point of view, he still said with envy: "Be content, you probably never thought you would achieve such success today, right?"

Strauss took two steps forward, sat down at the edge of the stage, lit a cigarette, took two puffs and said, "What are you talking about? Before I decided to return to Wales, I felt like this was a dream. When we were still in the Magnets, I felt that we would be satisfied if we could tour in a small area in Europe! But now, I can follow the footsteps of the Rolling Stones around the world, which is really exciting!"

At this point, Strauss turned his head and looked at Thorin who was holding a guitar, then continued: "Don't throw away your talent. When the Rolling Stones have a chance to come back to Wales to perform, I want Magnet to sing the opening song for the Rolling Stones! Even if New Pants, Mayuan, and Second-Hand come along, it won't work!"

Although Thorin didn't know what bands New Pants, Mayuan and Second-Hand mentioned by Strauss were, he could guess that they must be the Rolling Stones' direct descendant bands.

After hearing what Strauss said, Thorin decided to persevere no matter what.

The subsequent tuning work was done by Thorin and his friends, so the instrument group had some free time.

When the venue was about to let fans in, staff came over carrying a circle of isolation fences and specially separated a 3*5 area in front of the stage.

In addition, a row of footrests were installed near the outermost isolation zone, which were just enough for people of Ciel's height to stand on and watch. After Ciel and Tariel entered this area, they asked the staff with some trepidation, "Is this specially prepared for the two of us? If so, then do we..."

"You don't have to do this. Although this is the first time, this is prepared for all the special people. Wave said that the Rolling Stones hope that all the fans who like the Rolling Stones can come to the scene! He will let you special angels have a good experience!"

After hearing this explanation, Ciel was speechless with surprise. It was Tariel who spoke first: "Wave is such a warm person. What can we do to help?"

"You just need to stay inside and listen to the concert. If we see special fans like you at the door, we will bring them over to join you. I hope you can give them some help. Of course, if they need our help, we are nearby!"

Tariel nodded seriously and agreed. She didn't know whether other performances would take such special care of such a special group of people. She only knew that from now on she would be a die-hard fan of the Rolling Stones.

In fact, there are music festivals in the original Earth that have areas dedicated to special groups of people, and there are some humane services for these people. Of course, it is very likely that this is due to the credit of the friend who made the word "people" materialize at the music festival!
The moment he and his wheelchair flew above everyone's heads, Bian Lang felt that if it were him, he would definitely be filled with tears!
This is actually not the first time that something like this has happened. Whenever there are fans in wheelchairs at a music festival, those fans who are forever young and always have tears in their eyes really don't mind letting these special people enjoy an extraordinary view.

Bian Lang remembered that in his previous life, at a music festival, there was a young lady with high amputation who was held up by someone and listened to a whole song while Sister Liu was selling a car!

So, after hearing the stories of Charles and Tariel, he decided to create this area so that these special groups of music fans can experience the Rolling Stones live performance like other ordinary people.

This time the preparations were rushed, and he has already arranged for a live sign language teacher to be present for the next show...

Charles and Tariel waited until the show started, when three more blind people and two people in wheelchairs were added to the small area.

After the three blind people entered this area and listened to Tariel’s introduction, they all said, “If I knew that the Rolling Stones cared so much about our experience, I would definitely encourage others to come with me!”

As for Charles, a well-known blogger on YouTube, his mission before proposing today is to tell the world what the Rolling Stones have done for this special group of people.

They encourage those who, like them, have imperfect bodies to bravely enter the rock scene.

When the Dafeng band came on stage, Tang Dafeng was the first to greet this group of special fans: "Thank you for coming to listen to rock music. You made me feel another depth of life!"

After the female interpreter finished translating Tang Dafeng's words, those fans who didn't understand what this area was for, especially those who came in later and thought it was an area reserved for insiders, all took the lead in applauding!

"Rolling Stone! Great job!"

“Thank you for allowing everyone to enjoy the performance equally!”

“I hope other live venues can learn from this, and I really hope they can enjoy live music as much as we do!”

"Strauss really didn't follow the wrong person. I saw Charles and the others were inside!"

Thorin and the others were right next to this area, accompanying Charles and Tariel across a fence.

"Ciel! Is this your first time being so close to the stage?"

Ciel roared and nodded, "Yes, it is indeed the first time outdoors! I feel like I am dreaming now that I can stand in the front row and watch the show so easily!"

"Then I wish your dream will last a little longer!"

After the two finished chatting, the Dafeng band started playing. Dafeng had participated in music festivals in Europe before, and their music style was also mature heavy metal, so they did not use the songs that Bian Lang gave them.

When the iconic metal solo prelude sounded, those who DGM invited to the scene were envious again:
"So when you bind the rolling stone, you are binding it to a gold mine?"

“It’s not even a work by Wave. This band is pretty good!”

"Evelin, who has their agent? I want to invite them to participate in next year's music festival..."

Although they did not play Bian Lang's works, Dafeng Band did gain recognition.

This can be seen from the reactions of the fans in the audience, especially Thorin's testimony: "I remember when we opened for Hatter last year, there wasn't such a big response! This is our hometown! You damned fellows!"

Most of the people around him were local music fans. After hearing his incompetent complaints, they all said, "But you've already disbanded! Only Strauss is still standing on the stage!"

When the Rolling Stones came on stage, Bian Lang also first said to this group of special fans: "Thank you for coming today. We are really touched! So, I plan to sing an unplanned song... Evelyn, I can sing it, right?"

Evelyn, who was in the isolation zone, spread her hands helplessly, then smiled: "How can I stop you from doing what you want to do, Wave! I'll take care of it for you later!"

Chen Shuting, who was beside him, looked at Evelin and smiled, “You must get used to it, he is just such a person!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bian Lang got on the Ovation, sat on the round stool and turned around, and then the melody that some people in DGM were familiar with began to sound.

Evelyn felt that the song sounded familiar, but she was still not sure whether Bian Lang was singing a new song or...

It was not until Bian Lang sang the first line of the lyrics that Evelin was surprised and said in her heart: "So this is this song..."

“May God bless and keep you always,

May God's protection be with you
May you wishes all come true,

May your dreams come true
May you always do for others
May you always help others

And let others do for you.
And accept the kindness of others..."
