English Translation
Yesterday I have gone to greeting Mik in his bar, with the newspaper in my
hand: with the news of a concert of AB in Frigento (Avellino) free... What we
do now?, we go? Yes, no...yes, no, yesss...! The concert would be begun to the
21,30 and we would be leaving at 20,30 from Meta, by scooter... kilometers to
cover: 150 to go and 150 to return. "I put the long pants and a pullover
of cotton, it will refresh a little '" I have said... And in fact... we
had to exceed a small step of 700 meters, a fucking cold ... under the saddle
a single K-way... Seen my badly incipient of problems with throat, I have put
it (also because of my little layers of.."skin " that protect me
from the cold regarding Mik). Obviously we have mistaken road, losing
approximately 20 minuts... and the scooter slowly has gone on... and finally
we arrived to the manifestation in which Angelo was accommodated. A
Village between the mounts, desert roads, total silence ... we have covered a
long narrow lane laughing like mads... " But where this comes to play
????". Afters several minutes it has been opened in front of us a valley
in a nice moonlight, full of people, the stage illuminated in purple and blue,
in the back acient medioeval ruins... it was about 23,30, just a little before
the end of the concert... we have assisted to the last two songs, and two of
the bis: Confessions and pulce...Angelo has granted 2 bis exiting on the stage
2 times praising the fantastic public; and in fact the public was so much
"warmth" and he was understood how AB was happy and
"gasato"... the last song, then, Angelo has begun it alone to the
guitar... Davide Regazzoni and Carlo Gargioni were ready to go, waiting
outside the stage... But they are jumps at once from the car, catching
up Angelo on the stage and accompanying him with percussions and keyboards...
to die laughing!!! Unfortunately AB has been loaded in the car and
carried away... me and Mik we consoled ourselves with drink, wine and sandwich
with sausage classic... and then..ay back towards Meta.....My GOODNESS, WHAT A
COLD!!!! I have heroically yielded the k-way to Mik because of his position
driving and me behind him... 100 Km of nightmare... lacked only the snow...
Towards Naples the temperature began to go up, slowly slowly... At 3,45 am I
entered in my bed, tired died... 300 Km with night in scooter in order to
listen to 4 songs... when I had 20 years i didn't do that... Just like Angelo
use to say, we need psychiatrist!
