BIGLIETTO PER L'INFERNO - Vivi, Lotta, Pensa (2015)

Biglietto Per L' inferno was an important Italian Progressive Rock in the '70. They reformed in 2009 mainly with  new arrangement of  old songs of the  two works "biglietto per l' inferno" and " il tempo della semina".
In the new band the original voice of Claudio Canali ( retired as monk since several years and dead in 2018) is replaced by Mariolina Sala.
I also re-post a link to the original "biglietto per l' inferno" so you judge the differencies.

STEVE HACKETT -(March 30, 2017) Genesis Revised (Legnano, MI)

I Was not a convinced Genesis fan and I decided to participate to this event mainly to meet some friends. To confirm my old feeling I was really not impressed by Steve Hackett exibition. Yes a lot of technic on his hands and guitars but something is missed.... I don't know what!!!

LE ORME - Villa Guardia (COMO) August 29, 2015

Saturday August 29, 2015 was a good summer end day. I spent the late morning and first afternoon winsurfing on the Como lake (it' s a must at least one time for season since 30 years) and then a night to a concert (this time I was alone because aìof vacation time). The concert was an old band of italian progressive rock "LE ORME " with PFM, Banco del mutuo soccorso, Biglietto per l'inferno and others  were the hit of italian progressive rock of ' 70 years.
I was just a child when they come with their "innovative " music in 72-73. So it was a flash back to listen their hits more than 30 years later. Only one of the original components is still there (the drummer Miki dei Rossi ) and despite the 67 years old is full of energy. The new band is anyway a good band (not like the original one) specially the keyboards players is superb. At the end a very good revival evening. Iam now playing the old LP of the band time after time " Collage- Uomo di pezza- Felona & Sorona etc. etc. Good music is definitively  without time!!!

PFM - Storia di un minuto

Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) is probably the most famous Italian band of progressive rock.  Franz Di Cioccio, Franco Mussida are well known names in the italian music world and still on the scenes.
This  LP was a milestone of '70 and it is impossible not to remenber a piece like "impressioni di Settembre" ....wonderful. As final consideration I want to underline, with a bit of nostalgia, that the cover of vinyl LPs, and in special way in the '70 and beginning of '80 ones, had a great importance; really art works and progressive rock covers were at the top !! We lost for the moment (never say never)  this part of the game.

BIGLIETTO PER L' INFERNO - Biglietto per l'inferno

Another post dedicated to the '70 Italian progressive rock. Il BIGLIETTO PER L' INFERNO was a cult band in the north Italy (originally from Lecco/ Como area). Strange history of the singer that after the experience with the group and songs like "confession" (part of this work) decided to became friar  and he is now in a monastery.
The band produce two LP. The first (the best) is this one dated 1974.
The band make a reunion few years ago with a similar name (adding .FOLK) but really I don't know which the result is.

BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO - Banco (1972)

After the "beat" period, it was the time for "progressive". And again some italian bands take example from the english  area.
Three bands can be considered the most  rapresentative of the "Italian progressive movement".
a) Premiata Forneria Marconi
b)Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
c)Le Orme.

Here we have  the "Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso" work named BANCO originally released in 1972. Enjoy it!!

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.
