PONTOGLIO BS - STADIO COMUNALE - 18.07.99

The boys are back in town! And I am also in this town to see the boys.

Big stage. A lot of fans. It is a sort of convention. When the night is black. They start.

This is the fourth show I've seen on the Abandon Tour.

The set list is the same of Milano 16.7, but here they pump more power. IG is in a very good mood. All the members play very well and are very happy.

Surely they don't will afraid with Y2K, 2000 bug.

DP can fly over the years, with Steve Morse surely.
Steve's job in the band was fantastic. He has revitalized the music, also the historic riffs. Without Steve, DP cannot exist in this era.
But remember that all the members are in the race and play in a new vision the tracks they have written in the 70's.

It was a big night. What a pity Abandon Tour is near to the end.

My usual DP friend GBPURPLE Gianfranco was lucky and got backstage to take some photos with the boys. For me he got a guitar pick from Roger. Big souvenir that night. I hope to see them in next show. But if I cannot, I will try another time and every time I can.

Long live DP (RG+IP+IG+JL+SM).
