In that concert, the Lombard band has given a rock arrangement, sometimes prog-rock, to the melodic folk songs of Fabrizio De Andrè, considered, together with Francesco Guccini (both born in 1940 and friends), the father of Italian singer-songwriters. The operation of 40 years ago gave fame both to PFM and to De Andrè. In fact, PFM after the successes of the early seventies was soon forgotten in Italy, and De Andrè in the late seventies had entered a creative stasis, and was isolating himself from the musical world. After that concert together, De Andrè gave his masterpieces in the eighties, starting with "Creuza de Ma" (who innovated Italian music by introducing the dialect and traditional folk instruments: it is an album of ethnic music), where Mauro Pagani wrote most of the music and arrangements. 
PFM after that live record had a moment of fame in the late seventies, early eighties, then returned to be forgotten.

In the next concerts, there will be Flavio Premoli.

	Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

	It's not the first time that PFM play De Andrè songs: Here PFM play "ll Testamento di Tito" (Tito's Testament), the last song of that mitic concert.
