46664 video /album di duetti 1 dicembre 2003
Buona notiza per quelli che non possono vedere il concerto live online o a ZDF il weekend scorso (e perchè MTV/VH1 non lo trasmesserà, questo è il migliore abbiamo until il DVD è rilisciato: puoi "download il video che ZDF ha trasmesso di "Everybody´s got to learn sometime" (btw è una canzone del gruppo di 80's si chiama The Korgies) sul sito di Queen: http://www.mercuryparadise.com/hyper/MP-framenw.htm (clicca "download" -> "video").
È alcune informazioni del album di duetti: nel giornale italiano, La Stampa, Zucchero ha detto che lui ha uno mese di lavoro sul cd prima di il cd sarà pubblicato. Così non Zucchero natale :-(. Nella intervista con Il Giorno, Zucchero ha detto che Dave Stewart sarà sul album (ed altri: Dolores O'Riordan, Mousse-T, Bono, Sting e Brian May) e che il titolo del album, per ora, è "Made of Stars".

46664 - WOW! 1 dicembre 2003
Nella una parola: WOW!!!
Un concerto per charity che era divertente per guardare! Sono stupito. Zucchero completamente stava stupendo. Lui ha suonato durante la fine dello show (prima del Eurythmics sono venuto il palco) Bob Geldof lo presentò dicendo "These kind of do's are never complete without our friend from Italy". Zucch ha suonato, mentre sedendo al pianoforte, "Everybody's got to learn sometime" ( una canzone meravigliosa!) insieme con Roger Taylor e Brian May di Queen e Sharon Corr del Corrs. Lui è ritornato dopo 20 durante la parte di Queen del concerto per "I want it all" Entrambi gli gli spettacoli stavano stupendo, uno dei migliori spettacoli vocali l'ho visto fare di due anni passati, lui è lasciato il palco dicendo "proteggersi, usi il condom." Lui era anche presente durante 'la canzone del gruppo' "We are the champions" e la canzone del 46664.
Metteremo alcune foto, testa di parole per "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" più tardi ma per quelli che non hanno visto lo show, puoi download le canzoni di Zucchero qui: http://www.unreal.co.il/46664/ (Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime, I want it all è parte della "medley"di Queen)

Toronto: una recensione 17 novembre 2003
Ecco la recensione di Wendy del concerto a Toronto. (Sam non è un fan di Zucchero (o Sam non era un fan prima dello show :-))che Wendy "dragged" allo show)
Getting there:
We left Erie PA around 8 in the morning, me driving, We drive through Buffalo, New York, manage to make our way past that, over the border via the "Peace Bridge", clear customs and get into Canada by 10 or 11. Kept on up to Toronto, me still driving, Sam trying to make sense of the map we had. Made it into Toronto, downtown, I started to panic (I don't like driving in large cities I don't know) so all at once Sam opens his door, (in the middle of an intersection), says "jump out!" and we switch places (cause the deal was that he would drive IN Toronto). We find the hotel by 1300, check in, don't like our room (it's not exactly what the online booking agent promised), change rooms. Then we set out walking. Our plan is to go get some lunch, then head over to Massey Hall to pick up our concert tickets that were being held at the box office and see if there is actually going to be a sound check. While wandering about, looking for a likely place to eat, we come across an interesting little tavern "The Imperial" and go in to have lunch there. Oh oh, their cook isn't in yet, so all they have are drinks. We have a couple beers, intending to then go have lunch. I explain to Sam that IF this soundcheck really happens he is going to HAVE TO take charge and make sure I get a picture since I never ever will be able to do that. Then we realize we've talked so long that we don't have time for finding a place to have lunch now.
The soundcheck
We find Massey Hall, get our tickets from the box office (the girl there saying, "Pennsylvania?? That's an awful long way to come for a concert") and then ask about the sound check. She doesn't know anything, tells us to go outside to the stage door entrance. We do, see people hauling instruments and assorted stuff in thru the door. Sam just says, "come on" and proceeds to walk right in with all of them as if he's part of the crew, lol. (I should explain that Sam's been in performance art his entire life, dance, theater, etc so he is not at all uncomfortable with just walking into places like this, acting as if he belongs there) I'm trailing behind, waiting for the security guard to stop us, but he doesn't, lol. We walk up into the hall by the stage (dodging people carrying in the drum kit) and by then the security guard catches up with us. Sam just says casually to him "Hi! How're you doing?" and shakes his hand. We explain we're here for the soundcheck and show him the email from the fanclub. He doesn't know anything about it but tells us to come with him and he'll find "Crissy" (one of the people Stefano from the fanclub told me to ask for). We trail the guard all over the back of Massey Hall, up and down, thru the dressing rooms, onto the stage where guys are setting up stuff. He can't find Crissy. Tells us to wait a minute, but to not go out onto the middle of the stage (as if we would have!! I was having a heart attack by this time!) (On second thought, Sam probably would have, lol) Just then I turned around cause people were coming up the stairs there and it was Lisa and Adriano! and they said "Hi" as they walked by us onto the stage and I whisper "SAM!! That was LISA HUNT!!" (as if that meant anything to him) and he said, "well you want a picture with her?, Lisa! Hey Lisa!" and I almost died, figuring we would get kicked out for sure by then, lol. Before I even knew if she'd heard him, the security guy was back and told us to follow him to Crissy. He took us out front in the hall, right in front of the stage and Crissy told us to just sit down and Zucchero would be there in 1/2 hour or less. I felt SO idiotic, sitting there, there was no one else there (fan-wise), only workers, lol. But Polo and Mario and Adriano and Matteo and Lisa were onstage, starting the soundcheck. We were about 5 feet from the stage it was like our own little concert, cause they kept playing actual songs, not just going "check, check, etc" or playing just one or two notes over and over like I've heard with other soundchecks. Then I looked around to the back of the hall and a couple people were coming down the aisle and I thought "oh good, more fans, good, I won't feel so stupid sitting here" and then the woman walked by (both in big parka type winter coats, lol, I hadn't even been wearing a coat that afternoon, it seemed warm in Toronto to me) and then they guy walked by us and looked at us, and the guy smiled and said hi and it was ZUCCHERO!!!
Sam (who is bored by now and just wants to get to a restaurant so he figures if we can get this picture-meet thing over with as fast as possible he'll be able finally have lunch) starts to get up and go after Zucchero (and I'm dying, inside) but I said "wait!!! you can't follow him!!!" and made him sit back down. Then Zucch came out onstage and they did more songs, it was sooooooooooooo cool, like a little mini private concert...
Soundcheck tracklist:
can't remember the first song, sigh, I think I was numb at that point, lol
Il mare
Baila
Senza una donna
Wonderful World
Solo una sana
Dune mosse
Con le mani
Diavolo in me
finally they were at the end of the soundcheck, trying to get the opening for Dune Mosse just right and they did it over and over (the first 8 bars of it are still ringing in my head, lol) and Zucchero was sitting on a chair (backwards) and he finally just hung his head on the back of the chair and said "voglio pasta al pesto" and Sam laughed and said "me too!" Then they finally got the opening down and were done.
Then Zucchero went offstage and Laura from the fanclub came over and told us to wait just a bit more and he would be back out to talk with us and do fotos. While we were waiting, Lisa walked by and as she did Sam said "Hey Lisa! I love your voice, it is just awesome, can we get a foto?" and she said "Sure!!" and so I got a foto with her and then Laura and Zucchero came back out onto the stage and over to the edge and they jumped down in front of us and I think I said something really brilliant like "Thank you so much for your music" and he asked where I was from and I said something, I have no idea what and then he shook Sam's hand and Sam started going on about how I had dragged him all over Europe to try to see Zucchero, for the past 3 years, lol.
I'm not sure if I said anything else at that point or not, lol. Then Laura directed him over to 3 other people who had just come in, thank god we were not the only fans in the entire city, the lack of them at the soundcheck had worried me about the concert itself since Sam and I seemed to be the only people in the whole place who weren't working there. It was great. Everyone there was just so, so..nice. Laura and Lisa and Zucchero and Mario and Crissy and Polo and Adriano and Matteo and the guy who gave Sam a pen so I could take notes (lol) everyone was just really friendly and relaxed and nice!
oh my. oh my. That's all I kept mumbling as we left the hall. We went to an Italian (what else?) restaurant for dinner; Sam had manicotti and I had penne all'arrabbiata then we ended up back in the Imperial Pub for a while and then went back to the hotel to change for the concert.
We started walking thru Toronto in the dark, it was cool but not cold, with a light mist. As we approached the hall, we saw lines of people outside, people were begging for tickets and I haven't heard so much spoken Italian since last summer. I hadn't realized how large of an Italian population Toronto has until then. Massey Hall apparently holds about 2,200 people and since people were asking for tickets outside, I'm assuming it must have been sold out. We went in and found our seats 8th row center right :-) and there was some opening act on, some local Italian/Canadian guy doing some Frank Sinatra type music with his band so we headed downstairs to the concession stand to see what was for sale. I bought 2 t-shirts and a Shake keychain and the "Canadian" version of Shake that comes with an extra single w/ 4 tracks. Then we went back upstairs and sat down. Some local DJ (speaking in Italian) introduced the producer of the show (who couldn't speak Italian). The producer's father apparently had produced his very last show in Massey hall 20 years ago and that show had been Zucchero and now this guy is producing his very first show and it's Zucchero. So he dedicated the show to the memory of his father, which was touching.
The house lights went down, complete darkness, the band snuck onstage in the dark (there's no curtain for the stage in this hall) while people yelled out and then the 8 opening bars of Dune Mosse started. A spotlight came on to a seated Zucchero as he began singing. The crowd just erupted! Omgod, it was incredible. Absolutely incredible. From the beginning to the end, Zucchero and the band members had this amazing connection with each and every person there. It was intense and emotional and warm and personal and such high energy and simply utter fun! People were singing and dancing the entire time, I don't think anyone sat down exept for parts of some of the slower songs, I've never felt so much intensity, and I'm running out of superlatives to try to describe it :-)
Setlist: (with some comments that I furiously scribbled in the dark, along with some of Sam's comments who, until that night, hadn't been a fan of Zucchero, heh heh)
Dune mosse- intense, emotional, Zucchero sitting, singing...at the end repating "occhi" "occhi" "occhi" and pointing at the crowd while the last notes echoed and the ligts went out
Dindondio- still sitting, Lisa comes out in a shimmery blue gown and turban
Rossa mela della sera - seated, till the end till he gets up and starts walking around the stage with his guitar and the crowd again went wild
Baila (english version) every single person got up and danced, I usually dislike the English version, but everyone was clapping and umping around and singing along and yelling and the band was laughing and it was just so fun
Ali d'oro - same beginning as in Zurich, started with his back to the crowd as JL Hooker's voice came over the sound system, very intense & emotional. Lisa was great although during some parts the sound system made it hard to really hear her. When she sang alone it was incredible. At the end he repeated "really say" about 3 or 4 times really really really slowly and with the echoing and the music just fading ever so slowly away it was amazing. The crowd began calling out and whistling as if they couldn't stand the sheer impact of it.
Il volo - probably the best version of Il volo I've ever hears, again so emotional and intense. I've heard the song around 8 billion times but this was different (like Dune mosse in Zurich). During the "baby don't cry" part the lights went out and then just a spotlight on him.
Ahum - spotlight on Lisa, people singing along with that one (well, they did that with every song, lol) Lisa was excellent, absolutely excellent
Overdose d'amore - right into that one from Ahum with Polo doing the "don't panic" part and people were dancing ALL over, they came running down form the balcony and from the back of the hall right up front. There was only about 4 feet betwen the stage and the first seats, so everyone was crowded into there and Lisa and Zucchero were dancing and that made everyone else get even wilder
Il mare - directly from Overdose into Il mare without even a second to catch our breaths, omg!
Everybody --- seemed to be a sweet song, kind of a bluesy-ballad, can't remember the lyrics but the title was repeated alot. I think I liked it, but at that point I was so overwhelmed with emotion after emotion in that crowd that I couldn't make a real judgement about the song.
Senza una donna - Lisa came out in one of those low cut black gowns, with her hair down and a red flower in it on the right hand side. She and Zucchero played this one up a lot, which the crowd loved.
Diamante - beautiful as usual
Cosi Celeste - absolutely stunning vocals from Lisa
Con le mani - again fun, fun, fun, Lisa and Polo played up the crowd, egging each other on, she running her hands all over him, which the crowd loved, lol. Zucchero danced the entire song and the guitar part had a different ending than I'd heard before, really amazing.
Wonderful World - emotional, Polo tried to walk over to the keyboard, to play with Matteo but his cord wasn't long enough so during the song there's this stagehand crawling around on the floor, trying to look as if he's really not there, trying to untangle Polo and feed him more line, lol. I liked the end, Zucchero repeated "I can't take it no more" over and over
Solo una sana - I have no notes on that one, it was impossible to try to write anything at that point, it was just everyone up and screaming along wiht the lyrics and laughing and dancing!
Diavolo in me - Polo doing the intro, extra long with Zucchero behind him, kind of mugging along, the crowd loved that, it got louder and louder and more people were up front dancing and everyone else was dancing and Zucchero kept reaching down and grasping hands with people
Shake - right into Shake from Diavolo without a break, Zucchero and Lisa dancing (Sam at this point yelling over to me "I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT RECORDING THIS!)
then about 3/4 of the way through Shake Zucchero called out "doppia tempo!!" and sped the tempo WAY up and everyone sped up their clapping and dancing and the band sped up and I thought I was going to die, lol and then Sam leaned over and screamed in my ear "OH MY GOD! WITH THE RIGHT MARKETING HERE..OH MY GOD!!!" Then someone passed a little boy in a white shirt (he looked to be around 6 or so) over people's heads to the front and he held out something (a tablet or notebook or cd, I couldn't tell) and Zucchero (while Shake is still frenetically going on) reached out and signed it for the boy and as people passed the boy back and he was facing the crowd, the kid did one of those "YES!!!!" signs with his fist (you know, when you kind of pull back your fist really hard towards your body) and waved whatever it was that Zucchero had signed for him. The crowd LOVED that!!
Then they left the stage and of course everyone's yelling and clapping and I was just kind of stunned, I couldn't believe it was over, it had seemed as if only a few minute had passed since the beginning of the concert! Then a "Zucch-ero, Zucch-ero" chant started and they came back :-)
Encore 1
Va, pensiero - Zucchero sitting, without his hat this time, doing that funny "Joe Green" joke thing and at the end of the song he said "yeah, yeah, sweet" real quiet.
Per colpa di chi? - the rest of the band comes back on stage and they start right up and god, like everything else, it was amazing..the way the whole band looks like they're having fun and they're egging on the audiance to dance and teasing each other, it was just FUN, lol. Then Zucchero introduced the band members and yelled "In blues we trust! Blues.....NEVER......dies........ciao!" and they left the stage again. And of course the chant starts up again, stamping, whistling and
Encore 2
Hai scelto me - amazing. simply amazing, a perfect artistic, emotional, intense way to end a concert. Lisa was beyond words. She did some what I'd call "free" vocals (I'm sure there's a word for it, but I don't know it) an "improv" type thing like in a lot of gospel music. Then Zucchero got to one of the high notes and he holds it a bit and he keeps holding it and holding it and holding it and the tension kept building and building and Lisa's looking over at him and it was if the crowd was holding it's collective breath and when he finally stopped they cheered and yelled for just a second but immediately went silent so they could hear the rest of the song and then after it ended he put his hat on the mic and the lights went out except for one on the mic and the hat and the crowd was completely wild by then. Then all the lights went out.
