"Vasco Rossi is one on my favorite artists. I think that a lot of people that don't speak Italian should give him a try, because he is that good. It will take time for you to get past your skepticism because the music and him take time for you to really appreciate. My cousin in Italy would play him all the time and I did not like it, untill my last day of the trip, where then we went searching for tapes to bring back with me. I thought this CD would be a bust, because it was released just after his concert, but no way. It has some of the strongest set of songs by him on one album to date. If you don't know Vasco and his music, it's a cross between Led Zepplin (sound of the band) and he has one of the best voices in rock history with it's textures of light and shade and the deep penatrating lyrics of Pink Floyd. You can't top that! My Italian is not that great, but it does not matter. The music is that powerful. He is one of the best live performer I have ever heard. There comes an extra level of emotion in his live performences. I would suggest that you start with 'Fronte Del Palco live". IF YOU HAVE AN OPEN MIND TO INTERNATIOAL MUSIC AND LOVE HARD ROCK, THEN GIVE HIM A TRY, EVEN IF YOU DON'T SPEAK ITALIAN!"
