I agree, FDA is a great person. Everytime I watch his "In concerto" DVD (recorded in 1998) I can't believe it was his last tour.

ANDREW, was this PFM concert filmed?

Which songs were performed?

I was in Palalido of Milan in the spring of 1979 to listen Faber (the nickname of the songwriter Fabrizio De Andre') together with PFM.

I'm still chilling remembering that evening !

Do you remember, did they performed songs which were not included in FDA-PFM albums (Vol. 1 and 2)?

Franz Di Cioccio told about PFM collaboration with Fabrizio De Andre': "We chose about 30 songs and we shared equally our work." (http://www.pfmpfm.it/eng/main.htm). Probably more recordings from 1979 tour exist.

Honestly... I don't remember. It happened more than 25 years ago !

In the two CD's (or LP's) should be all the song performed during the tour.

I remember only that they didn't perform any PFM's song.

Here is a link to a De Andre's fans group focused on PFM concert.

http://www.viadelcampo.com/html/1978-79.html

Altought, I advice to you an absolute masterpiece... Fabrizio De Andre' - Creuza de ma (1984).

It is not properly progressive also if it was made together with Mauro Pagani that composed the music. It sounds more folk- mediterranean etnic than progressive... but sounds GREAT.

It is sung in Genovese, an italian musical dialect, typical of Genoa, the city of Cristoforo Colombo, the discover of America.

And remember that neither the great Peter Gabriel had performed in 1984 anythyng of similar !!!.

Here is the link to the comment of Allmusic

Last  year has been produced by Mauro Pagani, for the 20th anniversary, a new version with more songs and special guests

Ciao !

P.s. in 1979, was a great surprise when the LP has been published. But the greatest surprise was the print of the second part in 1980. I have never understood why the label didn't published a double album !.

Artista: Fabrizio De Andrè
Album: Fabrizio De André
Titolo: Bocca Di Rosa



La chiamavano bocca di rosa
metteva l'amore, metteva l'amore,
la chiamavano bocca di rosa
metteva l'amore sopra ogni cosa.

Appena scese alla stazione
nel paesino di San Vicario
tutti si accorsero con uno sguardo
che non si trattava di un missionario.

C'è chi l'amore lo fa per noia
chi se lo sceglie per professione
bocca di rosa né l'uno né l'altro
lei lo faceva per passione.

Ma la passione spesso conduce
a soddisfare le proprie voglie
senza indagare se il concupito
ha il cuore libero oppure ha moglie.

E fu così che da un giorno all'altro
bocca di rosa si tirò addosso
l'ira funesta delle cagnette
a cui aveva sottratto l'osso.

Ma le comari di un paesino
non brillano certo in iniziativa
le contromisure fino a quel punto
si limitavano all'invettiva.

Si sa che la gente dà buoni consigli
sentendosi come Gesù nel tempio,
si sa che la gente dà buoni consigli
se non può più dare cattivo esempio.

Così una vecchia mai stata moglie
senza mai figli, senza più voglie,
si prese la briga e di certo il gusto
di dare a tutte il consiglio giusto.

E rivolgendosi alle cornute
le apostrofò con parole argute:
"il furto d'amore sarà punito-
disse- dall'ordine costituito".

E quelle andarono dal commissario
e dissero senza parafrasare:
"quella schifosa ha già troppi clienti
più di un consorzio alimentare".

E arrivarono quattro gendarmi
con i pennacchi con i pennacchi
e arrivarono quattro gendarmi
con i pennacchi e con le armi.

Il cuore tenero non è una dote
di cui sian colmi i carabinieri
ma quella volta a prendere il treno
l'accompagnarono malvolentieri.

Alla stazione c'erano tutti
dal commissario al sagrestano
alla stazione c'erano tutti
con gli occhi rossi e il cappello in mano,

a salutare chi per un poco
senza pretese, senza pretese,
a salutare chi per un poco
portò l'amore nel paese.

C'era un cartello giallo
con una scritta nera
diceva "Addio bocca di rosa
con te se ne parte la primavera".

Ma una notizia un po' originale
non ha bisogno di alcun giornale
come una freccia dall'arco scocca
vola veloce di bocca in bocca.

E alla stazione successiva
molta più gente di quando partiva
chi mandò un bacio, chi gettò un fiore
chi si prenota per due ore.

Persino il parroco che non disprezza
fra un miserere e un'estrema unzione
il bene effimero della bellezza
la vuole accanto in processione.

E con la Vergine in prima fila
e bocca di rosa poco lontano
si porta a spasso per il paese
l'amore sacro e l'amor profano.

This is his most famous song.

Artista: Fabrizio De Andrè
Album: In Direzione Ostinata E Contraria
Titolo: Via Del Campo



Via del Campo c'è una graziosa
gli occhi grandi color di foglia
tutta notte sta sulla soglia
vende a tutti la stessa rosa.

Via del Campo c'è una bambina
con le labbra color rugiada
gli occhi grigi come la strada
nascon fiori dove cammina.

Via del Campo c'è una puttana
gli occhi grandi color di foglia
se di amarla ti vien la voglia
basta prenderla per la mano

e ti sembra di andar lontano
lei ti guarda con un sorriso
non credevi che il paradiso
fosse solo lì al primo piano.

Via del Campo ci va un illuso
a pregarla di maritare
a vederla salir le scale
fino a quando il balcone ha chiuso.

Ama e ridi se amor risponde
piangi forte se non ti sente
dai diamanti non nasce niente
dal letame nascono i fior
dai diamanti non nasce niente
dal letame nascono i fior.

Thanks for the links and and other information.

I like "Creuza de ma". But my favorite FDA albums are "Tutti morimmo a stento" and his last work, "Anima salve".

And I highly recommend Fabrizio's DVD "In concerto" (recorded in 1998 and released in 2004 by BMG, Italy) both to FDA fans and newcomers. The DVD presents more than 2 hours of music, wonderfully performed by Suonatore Faber and 9-piece band of extra-class musicians. Unforgettable concert, really.

About FDA - PFM live albums. I read somewhere that the record label didn't want to risk and released Vol. 1 first. When they saw that the album has great success, they issued Vol.2. 

Ciao!

Grazie.

A couple of years ago I bought FDA-PFM album (Vol.2) because of my interest to PFM and ... became a De Andre' fan. Great person, Italy's own, really! Now I can't say for sure who is more important for me - PFM or FDA. 

I know that Italian dialects differ from classic Italian language. There are even translations, in FDA albums booklets, from genovese and ligurian dialects to Italian.

P.S. It's a shame, my knowledges in Italian language are in embryonic state.

No, i understand Genovese because i live near La Spezia and i work as waiter in a famous restaurant in Cinque Terre where the dialect is very very similar to Genovese's.

Artista: Fabrizio De Andrè
Album: Tutto Fabrizio De Andrè
Titolo: La Canzone Di Marinella



Questa di Marinella è la storia vera
che scivolò nel fiume a primavera
ma il vento che la vide così bella
dal fiume la portò sopra a una stella

sola senza il ricordo di un dolore
vivevi senza il sogno di un amore

ma un re senza corona e senza scorta
bussò tre volte un giorno alla sua porta

bianco come la luna il suo cappello
come l'amore rosso il suo mantello
tu lo seguisti senza una ragione
come un ragazzo segue un aquilone

e c'era il sole e avevi gli occhi belli
lui ti baciò le labbra ed i capelli
c'era la luna e avevi gli occhi stanchi
lui pose la mano sui tuoi fianchi

furono baci furono sorrisi
poi furono soltanto i fiordalisi
che videro con gli occhi delle stelle
fremere al vento e ai baci la tua pelle

dicono poi che mentre ritornavi
nel fiume chissà come scivolavi

e lui che non ti volle creder morta
bussò cent'anni ancora alla tua porta

questa è la tua canzone Marinella
che sei volata in cielo su una stella
e come tutte le più belle cose
vivesti solo un giorno, come le rose

e come tutte le più belle cose
vivesti solo un giorno come le rose


Testi di Fabrizio De Andrè

What beautiful song!!!

Dear Andrew,

I'm from Sesto San Giovanni - Milan

But I have a little flat in Camogli... and this is the reason of my love and little comprension for Genovese dialect... "sciuscià e sciurbì inseme u nu se po".

But I must admit also that my grandmother was of Sampierdarena

For Notaproghead:

A Photograph of Camogli... a tipical ligurian small town (to understand better the mood of Creuza de ma )

Camogli and Cinque Terre - wondreful places, small towns by the sea, far from the madness of big cities. Look like pieces of summer, grazie.
