As an old hippy I would very much like to know where the Eagles are playing.!!! Tricia:cool:

Tricia

The Eagles only have two dates left on their tour, but I hear they are staying at a very famous hotel while in Italy. :D

27 May in Roma at the Stadio Olimpico
28 May in Verona at the Arena

Im going to see Robbie Williams at the San Siro in July!

I'm pretty sure Clapton is doing a gig at Umbria Jazz :) will have a high ticket price though :(

I've found that [url]www.TicketOne.it[/url] is great for keeping abreast of these details...... you also forgot to mention my [i]darling[/i] Lucca Summer Festival with:
[list]
[*]Eric Clapton (07 Jul)
[*]Riccardo Cocciante (11 Jul)
[*]Roger Waters (12 Jul)
[*]Tracy Chapman (13 Jul)
[*]Santana (14 Jul)
[*]Massive Attack (20 Jul)
[*]Placebo (25 Jul)
[*]Simply Red (30 Jul)
[/list]

Sorry, Mr Hills, but hang on..... is this not a forum whereby we use our knowledge and connections, rather than simply Google 'n' paste or click a link?

Come on lad, use the old grey matter! :D

Then when's you're next update of new concerts? I link to the website that can be monitored if one is interested is much more useful.......but hey, you say tomato, I say tomaaaato!

We're both helping :D

D

Glad to see we are both helping, but shouldn't it be pomodoro? :D

Tell ya what, do you wanna do all the big fancy names and keep updating the English/American performers? If you want I can try to do the smaller, more intimate Italian side of the concerts in the local Piazza's and such like, the stuff that Ticketone doesn't really cover.

I don't know how often I will get updated info, but it will be great if we can split the work between us - two heads and all that kinda stuff. Howzat? :)

No problem; if you want more local stuff, we save all that for [url]www.TuscanHills.co.uk[/url].

Tickets are about 30 euros.

Are there any free concerts happening in the piazze around Italy this summer? I remember being in Rome a few years ago and Algida sponsored a concert in Piazza del Popolo, amongst others were Alanis Morisette and Craig David. It was pretty good.

Festivalbar is an annual music event that travels to different cities in Italy during the summer. It is a free event, staged in the main piazza of the city and is very well attended - Party time! :D

Most of them are not my cup of tea Matron.. except for Bocelli, Carmen Consoli and without doubt.. the wonderful Pino Daniele!

Do you know any of his songs? Highly recommend quite a few! :D

Nope, don't know any...

Would love to see Bocelli one day, though!

Was just checking out a few Italian names on Amazon UK & DE and the ones I remember are hardly to be found! Argh :(

Pino Daniele.. on a Saturday night.. ahh.. check your email.

Forget all that lot. [I][B][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="6"]DYLAN'S BACK [/SIZE][/COLOR][/B][/I]:) :) :) :)

And how about this ?

[url]http://hiacc.blogspot.com/2006/05/who-does-bob-dylan-support-in-world.html[/url]

..

Yeah.. but Sanch.. Southern Italy tour dates probably wont happen! :D

:( Pessimistic old so-and-so, aren't you ? Paestum's confirmed, isn't it ?

Pessimistic? Old? How very dare you! I'll have you know that the only thing I am.. is a so-and so! :D

I take it you are hoping to go to the concert at Paestum.. shall I find out what else is happening that day so you wont be so disappointed? :D :p :D

Dear Anastasia,

I'm most terribly sorry. When I referred to you as a "dismal, pessimistic old so-and-so" what I meant, of course, was "magnificent old belter" :o. A mere typo. Will you ever be able to find it in yourself to forgive me ?

Thanks so much for the invitation to the Paestum concert. Your zimmer frame might well get us into that area reserved for wheelchair users right next to the stage, which would be marvellous. On the other hand, though, I fear that continual, querulous interjections of "WHERE'S ME KNITTING ?" from two feet or three away would ruin my enjoyment of Forever Young. Will mull over it. I intend to get totally zonked before and stay zonked throughout. Would you disapprove ?

XXX S :D

Sanch..

Disapprove? Never sweetie! Now keep still so I can wind this wool and talk to Bob about both of us getting zonked - it's been a while since I got zonked! :D

Lay lady lay.
