venue change for italy

And this is a photo of John N. who wants to hear louder the audience response during one of his solos... Maybe he was a little jealous, as that night was John L. birthday and we have sung 'Happy birthday John' all together! I was in the first row just in front on John N., half hidden beneath the speakers, but I liked so much that now and then he bent down and looked and called on us... I found him more sociable and playful than he appears in interviews! John L. did the same, coming towards our side of stage many times to look at us. Ian was funny as ever, in shorts and barefoot, while Mic couldn't interact with us, so far behind his keyboards... What about Joey? He was playful, self-confident and interacted repeteadly with us and with the Italian Fanclub in the first row... there is no trace of arrogance in his manners. His voice last night was clear and powerful and expressive. It looked like he and the band were struck and maybe a little amazed by our enthusiasm and reacted strongly, letting themselves go free. It's astonishing the force that old songs as Rock the night and TFC still preserve live: after so many years, you hear it and cannot stand still!
