But when Sepultura played at home, the quartet knew they had the audience in their hands. The poor sound and absences from the repertoire (songs like “Desperate Cry” and “Propaganda” were also left out) were not a problem for the fans, who sang a good portion of the repertoire in unison, jumping, shaking and giving the band back an apotheotic energy , which turned into tears mostly from Derrick and Andreas. Normally reserved on stage, bassist Paulo Jr. the only remaining member of the group from Minas Gerais showed great excitement.
Since BH is the band's hometown, there was still a desire among the audience for a show in the style of the recent farewell performances of other music giants from Minas Gerais, MIlton Nascimento and Skank, which had huge setlists and the presence of guests. Before the start of the performance, the audience talked about special performances by friends who marked the history of Sepultura, such as Silvio “Bibika” Gomes, the fifth member of the group, so to speak, or Vladimir Korg (Chakal, The Mist), responsible for recommended the band the Cogumelo label.
But there wasn't even the traditional presence of former guitarist Jairo Guedez who recorded the group's first two albums playing the classic “Troops of Doom,” leaving Andreas, Derrick, Paulo and Greyson to celebrate history and to end 40 years together.
At the end, after the sequence of the absolute classics “Ratamahatta” (where Greyson fumbled and messed up the song's tempo) and “Roots Bloody Roots” (which literally shook the gym floor), the audience left with a smile their faces, which make the positive balance clear, and with the feeling of having witnessed a historic performance that marked the beginning of the end of the band's career in the city where they were born.
