Rock in Rio: Toni Platão deserves better

ROCK CITY, 4:50 p.m. — Raved by the critics with the album Calígula Freejack, Tony Platão hit the stage at the Brazil Tent determined to show how good he gets up there. With a dynamic set, the former Hojerizah vocalist was barely welcomed by a cold and uninterested audience. Those who bothered to give it a try enjoyed numbers like Calígula Freejack, Pode Ser and Tudo Que Vai. Nostalgic Hojerizah fans earned a special treat, as Platão did his 80s band hit Pros Que Estão Em Casa. The vocalist dedicated his final song, Fred 04’s A Bola do Jogo, to the author’s band, Mundo Livre S/A, according to Tony, "a band that was unjustly left out of the festival".
