LE ORME - Collage

We are back in the '70 with this LP. Le Orme, and particularly this work, is considered the starting point of the "Italian Progressive Rock". The absorption of the UK and London dream was clear in groups like Le Orme, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso.

I was a child and this are memories of music from the radio or from older friends and parents. I remenber very well the titletrack of this work and probably was my first "love" for music.

SIMPLE MINDS - 5x5 tour Milan (Alcatraz) 02/28/12

It was difficult to believe but at the end it was true........ 2 and a half hours of concert with only a 15 min break.
This was the SIMPLE MINDS performance in Milan of the 5x5 tour (5 songs for any of the first 5 LP). Very good show this is my comment. Jim Kerr, despite of the age, on the scene is not so different from the first time I saw him (it was 1983). Burchill is still there working on the guitars, the keyboards section is really the weakest point compared to the past ( MacNeil was another thing), but what is really impressive is the presence of the drum section. Mel Gaynor is simply perfect and this was the good surprise of this night.

The public (really not so young) seems to appreciate the performance and after two days, without the exitement of the moment I can say that it was A GREAT EVENT!! (welcome back SIMPLE MINDS).
