All the lives of Vasco, but all of them, in music, in the lineup of a powerful concert and to listen to between music and words to celebrate life in every possible declination. It is also a Vasco trying to mix the cards on the table, and on stage, what Last night, in Turin, he officially inaugurated the ‘Vasco Live Duemilaventicinque’which will take him to 6 cities, for a total of 12 concerts.
“This is the most powerful show in the world – said Vasco – with a concept dedicated to the celebration of life in all its forms, in all its dimensions, in all its expressions”. Vasco regained his songs, once again, starting with ‘reckless life’ that sets fire to the dust at the Olympic stadium in Turin and inaugurates the ladder for the first time ever. Generational anthem, for many generations, all in front of the stage.
“I chose to start concerts with ‘reckless life’ – Blasco commented – which is my hymn to life and the most misunderstood song in history. Celebrate life intensely, with enthusiasm, with force. It is a song that I want to resume in the sense I had. I speak of the risks they take to be, to become what we are. Today we are all a reckless life ». A hymn to life, including risk. Not for self -destruction but to achieve a dream, a goal. Nietzsche said it and Vasco knows it well. The following songs are a story of many years of career and life. From ‘I am innocent’, ‘Futurist Manifesto’ is a great film ‘, up to the inevitable closure of ‘Albachiara’passing through many others and a total of 25 titles in the lineup.
Songs in all their power and “arrangements that become sumptuous on the ballads”, the word of Vince Pastano. All the songs speak of life that pulsates: ‘Valium’ between provocation and fierce irony, ‘living’ and the primordial instinct for life. ‘The shots above’ is on the world that does not improve and always dramatically current. There is also no lack of goodies as ‘how many times’ and another milestone of the Vaschian career, written in 1976: ‘and the time creates heroes’, current and revisited in a grunge key.
Depth and lightness, to tell life according to Vasco. «My songs say everything – said Zocca’s rocker again – and explain what I think, which side I am. Those who listen to my songs understand it. When I speak maybe I am misunderstood or exploited, so I decided to speak less and less ».
In 2022, always in Turin, Vasco had brought Don Luigi Ciotti to the stage, for an appeal to peace, his historic friend and also present last night at the stadium. The theme of this new tour, however, is extended to the celebration of life in all its nuances, between rock and surroundings. “Tonight – said Don Ciotti before the concert – In the stands there are also many guys with complex, difficult, all of them all and that they are always welcomed to Vasco’s concerts, whose music crosses generations of people. I hope Vasco uses the Flag of Peace tonight ».
“Peace – said Vasco – is something we have to look for inside us. There are hatreds that are fomented. It seems that the most important things are now power, profit, violence, while the importance of life is less and less considered ».
After Turin (31 May and 1st June), the tour will continue on 5 and 6 June in Florence (Visarno Arena), 11 and 12 in Bologna (Dall’Ara stadium), on 16 and 17 in Naples (Diego Armando Maradona stadium), 21 and 22 in Messina (San Filippo stadium)to end with the double appointment of 27 and 28 June in Rome (Olympic Stadium).
