An eruffene postponed him the tour, but our diablo after months of stop returned for an infilate of powerful and intense live who make us understand how much we missed his rock, his energy, his word.
Piero Pelùdespite his 63 -year -olds, he is both inside and always that little boy fromRock and unconventional soul who released the immense album with the Litfiba 40 years ago Desaparecido, From which this evening on the first date of the tour, he gave us more than one track, testifying how strong and current those reports are still strong and current.
But let's go in order, because the show began at the stroke of 9 pm at the General Warehouses in Milan, in the first date completely sold out of a tour already sold out in the next stages of Padua, Rome, Turin, Bologna and Florence. Pelù enters the internship with his piece that introduces The show, Taken from Spirit, another great protagonist of the evening. He wears a shirt with a Ucle Sam reduced to the bone, indeed literally skull: it is only a great hat on his head as an American, but no longer indicates anyone with a winking “I want you”, because we know well how it ended … he did not remain even a finger!
W social rock, fuck the influencers
The dress does not make a monk, but he tells us a lot about the boy on stage and how he thinks about many fronts: with Heroes in the wind And Prey He had already told us in the 1980s and tonight he reiterates it well with the newborn too Novichok which as a warning describes us all with simple everyday life:
“We drink and eat and then we don't care
Our evolution is there, left at the pole
But where was I, but where were you?
How could it ever happen to us? “
The Reflections on the present moment do not stop there and are well declared with a first person writing that decrees the bankruptcy of the white hetero male (I see you a little tiredBruori would say) but that Pelù in no uncertain terms refuses to accept as it is, condemning violence against women and patriarchy. The quote of the movement One, none, one hundred thousand opens the doors to the Ventata di hope with I will be there that in the verses:
“There is no need, babe, to demonstrate
It just just be respectedI will be with all my enthusiasm
We will exchange our gaze and then, and then
I will do it with all my enthusiasm “
declares a true commitment to the participation To change the current fate, why “There is another story to live, and there is, and there is”.
But the thoughts of other possible world for Pelù do not stop there, than after Cursed heart And Flightarrives with its dose against current politics, Which threatens minorities and diversity at the expense of the weakest, in the name of a false “God” (money, power) that crushes the true values and rights of human beings. Istanbul is said to be dedicated to the Kurdish people who fight in Türkiye for their independence, on No borders The flag of Palestine is waved, in the name of a spirit of freedom for every people.
Pagan mass and profane worship
Just the songs taken from the album of the same nameSpirit and launch drom, They open the live to the most rock and ballad part of the concert, in which choirs, hands at the top and Pogate are the masters. The Singing of freedom continues on recent production songs such as Boomerang bomb and the Sanremese Giant, To then reject the past of the heavy rock of the Bull loco and de el diablo, Cantata and “pretta” Loudly by all warehouses, literally reduced to its knees at the request of Pelù, before the liberating explosion of the magical numbers: 666.
In the grand finale the histrionic Piero presents us proud of his Bandidos stage companions: Amudi Safa on guitar, Luca Martelli “Mitraglia” on drums e Max Gelsi “Sigel” on bass, together with the super guest Antonio Aiazzi, called “the Don”, to the keyboards, and then return to the stage for the remise with the delicate Lulù and Marlene. We like the leap in the past and continues on the notes of Forbidden and playingstrongly participated from each side of the small club.
The crowd bath at the end of Tziganata It is a triumph for Pelù that is anelated, touched, revered by the first rows, which prodent towards theirs Diablo pay. The divination of Sara La Nera, patroness and protector of the Roma community to which Pelù declares herself very devoted, merges with the profane dimension of the star that descends from the stage to reach its audience. A success at all obvious but completely deserved that of Pelù who in the intimate dimension of a club with a few hundred places standing, manages to give himself completely without saving anything.
It will be too A Baby, a Diablo As he likes to define himself through the texts of his pieces, but to me -and not only to me, judging by applause and amazed faces and containing at the end of the lives I like it so much.
