THE REVIEW
Or: decades of Italian rock land in the Land of the Rising Sun, a place always fond of good music.
Indeed, it seems that decades have not passed at all, judging by the freshness and passion of these evergreen musicians.
In their performance of the pieces, from the oldest to the most recent, everything feels new rather than nostalgic; they remain exemplary, as they have accustomed us to, and the Japanese audience seems to greatly appreciate it!
And then almost three hours of concert for these "old timers," with excursions into classical music, improvisations, progressive rock, and mandolin...
You can feel all their emotion, in the end, when they thank the audience in Japanese...
To demonstrate that Italian rock is not Vasco Rossi, but I believe they know this well in Japan...

The Premiata Forneria Marconi never ceases to amaze.
Their class, then, never fades; if you have it, you keep it.
