Titolo: Concert Amsterdam

Last night was the concert in Amsterdam. I must say it was the best 
concert I have ever been to. Not only was the music good, but all the 
musicians seemed to enjoy themselves and the (mostly Italian) fans were 
great too, not the usual pushing and shoving at the front of the stage 
where I was standing.
Ligabue played the following songs:
    1. Il Giorno dei Giorni
    2. I Ragazzi Sono in Giro
    3. Viva
    4. Ho Persole Parole
    5. Salviamoci la Pelle
    6. Una Vita da Mediano
    7. Eri Bellisima
    8. Questa é la Mia Vita
    9. Ho Messo Via
   10. Tutto Vogliono Viaggiare in Prima
   11. Bar Mario
   12. Hai un Momento, Dio?
   13. Leggero
   14. Le Donne lo Sanno
   15. Niente Paura
   16. Happy Hour
   17. Piccola Stella senza Cielo
   18. Certe Notti
   19. Balliamo sul Mondo
   20. Tra Palco e Realtà
       bis/encore
   21. Urlando contro il Cielo
   22. Buonnanotte All’Italia
I've written a full review (in English) on my blog:

I didn't bring my camera, because Paradiso is suppose to have strict 
rules about cameras, but they didn't last night. So I'll ask here too: 
if anybody has pictures from last night they want to share with me 
please contact me.

Hi Bianca! Great that you can appreciate the Ligabue, unfortunately
you can't' fully get the deepness of his words contained in the
songs..but from your blog I understood that you got the right spirit
in your stomach!
Welcome to this beach! ...take place and enjoy! ..here the friendship
between the people is glued with the Liga songs!

Hi Bianca!
it's great that you enjoyed the concert so much! :o)
Here's the comment from another person from the audience.. I'll translate it
for you.
Premetto che non sono mai stato un suo fan.Non mi dispiace ascoltare
qualche canzone,ma nulla di piu'.Pero',per una sorta di
campanilismo,patriottismo o,chiamatelo come vi pare,ieri sera ero al
Paradiso per assistere alla prima data del tour europeo.Per lo stesso
motivo ero andato a vedere l'anno scorso Zucchero.Minchia se me ne son
pentito.Devo dire che mi ha abbastanza deluso.Sara' per quell'alone
leggendario che ne danno i suoi fans,per le cose che si sentono e si
leggono,ma mi aspettavo di piu'.2 ore scarse di concerto e lui che,pur
sapendo che c'era gente che era arrivata dall'Italia,li ha cagati
appena di striscio.Buona la band,con 3 nuovi innesti al loro primo
concerto con lui.Il piu' spento era davvero lui.Adesso non so quanto
duri in media un suo concerto,ma neanche 2 ore sono davvero poche.Nota
positiva,il pubblico.Ieri sera non si e' meritato un pubblico cosi'.
The premise is that I've never been a real fan (of Ligabue). It's not so bad
for me to listen to some of his songs, but nothing more. Anyway, for a sort
of pariochalism, or patriotism, say as you prefer, yesterday evening I was
at the Paradiso to join the first date of the european tour. For the same
reason, past year I went and see Zucchero (another italian singer). <Cannot
be translated > I repented of being there. I was quite disappointed. Maybe
it's due to that legendary halo that his fans give him, maybe it's due to
things you hear and read about him, but I was expecting much more. Less than
2 hours for this concert, and he didn't show any attention to his fans, even
if he was surely aware of people coming even from Italy. Good band, with 3
freshouts at the first concert with him. The less energyzed was really him.
I don't know the average duration of his concerts, but less than 2 hours are
really too few. Great public, but he didn't deserved it.
Ciao

With a dictionary I have been able to get the main points of most of the 
songs, but it's true that the deeper meaning is lost on me for most of 
the songs.
I am going to learn Italian, when I don't know, at the moment I have 
little time and that will be so for a while, unfortunately.

Strange that this is so negative. The reactions I got are all very 
positive. It is not true that he didn't show any attention to his fans, 
he regularly did and he was very energetic and clearly enjoying himself. 
Even my sister who isn't a fan and had only listened to his music the 
week before the concert thought it was a great night!
I liked it that this concert didn't feel like the band was giving the 
audience a well rehearsed routine, as you often see (especially with 
bigger bands).

"I had regular eye contact with Fede (probably because I was the tallest 
person in that area)"
And cause U're pretty? ;-)
No Fede's nipples around? :-D
How was Liga's english?

P.S.: buy a membership ticket? :-O
P.S.S.:did hip, arm and shoulder heal?

A prove U aren't italian... italians find any possible way to avoid 
rules ;-)

Late is better than never ;-)

 Strange that this is so negative.
It isn't much clear: in the first part it seems to be talking of 
Zucchero, and in the end about Liga...
BTW if the concert have lasted less than 2 hours I can agree with him 
(just for it)

The concert lasted for over two hours, about the same length most bands 
played I've been to. I talked again with my sister and showed her the 
review and she (as someone who had never listened to his music until the 
Sunday before the concert) did not agree with it. She also thought it 
was the best concert she's been to.
Bianca

 P.S.S.:did hip, arm and shoulder heal?
Thank you for asking, yes they did, though I was sore for a couple of days.
Bianca

 rules ;-)
I've been to Paradiso before and they checked all the bag. They didn't 
this time, so they probably check or do not check at the request of the 
artist.
I have to say that they also found a way to get pot/marijuana in. At the 
front near the stage it didn't bother me, but my sister who was standing 
at the back was really giggly after the concert (on the way back she 
wanted to sit upstairs in the double decker train, because "of the 
view"....in the middle of the night). The only time I've walked through 
such a haze was when I had to deliver an order to one of the local 
coffee shops!
I was hoping to go to the Modena City Ramblers on Saturday, but 
unfortunately I can't make it due to work.
Bianca

Wow! :-D

Glad to hear that ;-)

Same of my province, opposite ideas... I wouldn't go ;-)
Massi

 that's bad, much worse than American accent, which I don't dislike ;-)
I don't mind a bit of an accent, I don't mind if you can hear from what 
country you are (unlike many English teachers), as long as you can make 
yourself understandable I don't mind if I can hear that you're Dutch, 
Belgian, Italian or German. But a lot of pupils go out of their way to 
speak as American as they could. We subtitle almost all movies and tv 
series, if they used that as a guideline I would be very happy. Using 
street and internet "language" as a guideline is not a good idea.
But this is a very different discussion than talking about good music.
Bianca

 Same of my province, opposite ideas... I wouldn't go ;-)
Remember I only know a couple of words in Italian so who knows if I 
actually like their lyrics, I just like their music. It's such a shame I 
can't get the albums in Holland. They only sell Eros Ramazzotti, 
Zucchero and maybe some Laura Pausini. It looks like that when Secunde 
Tempo is released my order at Nannucci will be very big (as usual).

LOL here "on the beach" OffTopics are everyday's habit :D
And, as we always say, talking about us is still InTopic ;-)
