The VIP Room
Homburg ('some Italian group named Dik
Dik did this: all I know is the group was Dik Dik'. Actually it was I
Camaleonti!)
Typewriter Torment (Pegg brilliantly lays
out all of the Cartwright notes)
Beyond the Pale (drumming was
outrageously brilliant)
Grand Hotel
Simple Sister
The Milk of Human Kindness
Fat Cats ('I'm getting a little old to
play that fast anymore')
For Liquorice John ('for our friend Dave
who one day couldn't take any more so he jumped from the top of a
church')
Pandora's Box
Seem to Have the Blues (Most all of the Time)
(one of the best solos Josh has played)
Whisky Train ('I don't need a
small one, I need a grappa in the opening'. Drum solos get better and
better)
This World is Rich ('words by
Stephen Maboe from South Africa')
Into the Flood (mid-section orchestrated
through Yamaha Motif)
A Salty Dog ('my friend Zucchero did this
last year'. Man, can Dunn punctuate this! Gary with Latin ending –
massive standing ovation!)
Conquistador
Encore
A Whiter Shade of Pale (Air
opening right into first verse, and again restructuring of the organ
passage after each verse, except before last repeat; but a smoother
presentation last time around but very similar yet not exact – massive
applause with multiple 'Bravo's!) |
The band arrived at only
8.30 pm after a terrible
day. They were stuck at Naples airport from 7.30
am when they arrived for the check-in of a flight
to Verona that was supposed to leave at 10.00am.
After hours of waiting the flight was finally
cancelled and they had to reschedule all their
journey, flying Naples to Milan and then by 'bus to Garda (some 150 kms).
This led to a very quick soundcheck because the public had been waiting
outside since 7.30. Full story here
A Rum Tale
About to Die (a few seconds' guitar from GW)
GD asked to reposition his entire kit (he didn't like the drums placed
on the riser).
In total just 15 minutes' soundcheck from 9.00 to 9.15
Thanks, Stefano |
