Angelo looked very good, he had lost a lot of weight and seemed very relaxed and happy. He said the concert would be completely different than all the other times, he was feeling like a new person.
And then Angelo had to go inside to mentally prepare himself for the concert. And time for us to ask about the tickets. I told one of the ladies that we were a group of 18 friends of Angelo and that there were tickets for us and a name list. And yes, she found them and handed them to me with the list. She offered me a chair and so I sat in the middle of the hall with a very special mission: to make sure everybody in the group would receive their ticket. In the meantime everybody arrived, everybody was talking to everybody, seeing faces and voices to just names on internet. Very exciting. And it was so hot!!! When everyone had arrived we went into the theatre. Our places were very high on the balcony, very far away from the stage, but we had a good view.

...We were able to talk longer with
Davide and Michele smiling and very available to us. Then we went to drink a
Belgian beer in a cafe near the Capitole, head, heart and ears filled with the
music of Angelo ..... Some had to leave to their obligations, while we had the
pleasure of sharing the dinner with Patrick and Stephanie, a pleasant and
friendly moment !
The next day was spent visiting this beautiful Flemish city.
I have attached some pictures to my comment: unfortunately those of the concert
are all blurry, but I know others have done very nice.
Thank you very much, Michelangelo, for allowing us to live such a week-end,
friendly greetings to all

.Hello ! I'm just back from Gent ! I'm too much moved to make long sentences, so it will be a telegraphic report : VIP Treatment !!! (two loges for the B-ans) - We were able for a long time and repeatedly to discuss with Angelo (he presented us to the bishop " Here are my friends! " - he is on form, slimmer, younger, full of energy, magnificent ! - he said to us that it was very bizarre for him to play in the afternoon and by such a heat ("I am like Eddy Mercks after Liège-Bastogne-Liège") - He received us in his changing room after the concert :-))))) - We spent wonderful moments between BRANDUARDI-ANS.... Complete report, pictures, etc... Anne
Anne handed the scarf after the concert offered by Branduardi-ans, Gianluca. We were able to quickly meet Angelo in the Backstage, he seems to be very tired. We hailed from Michelangelo and all the members of the group who could not be there. We were able to talk longer with Davide and Michele smiling and very available to us. Then we went to drink a Belgian beer in a cafe near the Capitole, head, heart and ears filled with the music of Angelo .....

But everything once comes to an end, so
also the concert. And now all of us were climbing down the stairs again, waiting
for things to come. And that was giving Gianluca a present. He was very pleased
with it. And there was again time to take many pictures. And than up to Angelo
again. And again there was a short conversation, not that long because he was
rather tired. But surprise, surprise, leaving the theatre, some of us could wave
him goodbye when he was leaving in the car.
What more can I say than Thanks Gianluca, thanks Michelangelo for making this
possible for us and Angelo thanks for a great concert.
