Paralamas e Titãs Juntos e Ao Vivo is a live album by Brazilian rock bands Paralamas do Sucesso and Titãs in June 2008.[1] It is the second live album recorded by both bands together, and it has been released as a DVD as well. The album is part of the bands' 25 years of career celebration, and several other shows took place in the beginning of 2008, with both bands sharing stage.[3][2] Some well-known Brazilian artists made guest appearances during the show, like Andreas Kisser (from Sepultura), Samuel Rosa (from Skank), and Arnaldo Antunes (former Titãs member).[2][3] For the live performances, both bands were nominated for "Best Live Act" at the 2008 MTV Video Music Brazil awards[4]
Background
The first time both bands had shared the stage with all members simultaneously had been in the 1992 edition of Hollywood Rock. The ideia of playing together again came when both bands met in the backstage of the 2005 festival Planeta Atlântida in Rio Grande do Sul. The collective tour began in October 2007 with a show in Belo Horizonte and was supposed to be only five shows long, but there was demand for some additional dates.[2] The setlist was determined by the groups, with each band choosing songs from the other one's catalogue.[1]
Commenting about the careers of both groups, then vocalist and guitarist of Titãs Paulo Miklos said that "more than the proximity, the collegiality, there was also between us a healthy competition. These works show the real proximity of what we have. There was something exciting about realizing the paths that the other one was walking".[1]
The song "Meu Erro" and the medley "Sonífera Ilha / Ska" were included in the soundtrack of Rede Globo's telenovela Três Irmãs.[5] "Selvagem / Polícia" is featured in Paralamas's compilation album Arquivo 3.
