LIVE

For the fans of their great album "Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Più", there is absolutely no risk with this live album. They should be transported to the same wonderful moments. At least when reading the track list.

The studio album was perfect : sound, arrangements were top notch. Even if this live recording is thirty years old, the sound is rather average (to poor, almost boot quality) which is a pain for the type of music "Locanda" is displaying.

The other concern is to know whether or not it is relevant to release a live album when a band has only one studio album behind him. I was incredibly in love with their debuts but this is a carbon copy (except "La Giostra" which was unreleased) . The audience is polite, the band as well (grazie, grazie...). At this time of their career, they could of course hardly know that they would only release one studio album (forget about their 1999 joke).

The sound quality is weak during one of their greatest number : "Forse Le Luciole ...". Emotions are still the same of course, but the studio version is far much more superior. It is probably the song which has lost the most of its beauty. The same is valid during the unreleased song :"La Giostra". Difficult to judge the quality of this track. What a shame !

Three stars.
