Seventeen songs, seventeen musical poems in a wonderful double live album by a great singer-songwriter: Francesco Guccini. He, poet, musician, a person more than a character, he who sings stories with simplicity and sings his ideas with passion.
Recorded at the Roman Amphitheater in Cagliari on September 4, 2004 and produced by Renzo Fantini, this wonderful live work is a beautiful refresh among Guccini's most beautiful songs, sung and played with great style and with the usual simplicity.
An exciting album, a journey of stories: his stories, everyone's stories, and the stories of many generations, whose voice warms the concert.
Men, women, and their children, all there to sing along with him, the simplest of Singer-songwriters, he who has never allowed himself to be "blackmailed" by that Sanremo festival arena, he who only goes to Sanremo for the Tenco award, he who has never sold out to television and commercialism that is killing music.
A live that conveys the love for music and the love of narrating what surrounds us in the world.
The audio quality of this wonderful double album is commendable, and the presence of the lyrics, despite being live, is even more so.
In short... An album to buy because it is worthy of being part of Guccini's long discography, the most beautiful soundtrack of our history.
"Now I want to do what I want, leave me alone!"
