Post Description

Back then, in 2006, I found the announcement on BTF website: ''2/8/2006 - PFM will play in Milano on February 18, 2006, at Teatro Ventaglio Nazionale. PFM will be performing their tribute-show to the late great Fabrizio De Andrè. A special guest appearance by Patti Smith has been announced too!'' Wow, with ot without Patti Smith, it should be great, I thought. What songs will they play? Something new for the band? Will the concert be filmed? I know, no one can sing his songs better than good old Faber himself. But such great musicians like PFM can bring something new in De Andrè's music. So many good songs, so many possibilities!

And at last I'm holding in my hands nice blue digipack. I look at track list and realise - nothing new to PFM here, only songs they played with Faber in their 1979 tour. OK, slightly disappointing, but it's their right to choose what they want.

I listen to CD - OK, musicianship is superb (who can doubt?). Some wrong intonations in voices - OK, it's a live record, sometimes it happens. Not a bad live album. It could be better (and, by the way, longer), but it's not bad at all.

Hier is ook een DVD van (wie oh wie)

Dit is een aanvulling op de grandioze spots van JVKL en GROBSCHNITT
