CONCERT REPORT: Florence (Firenze), Italy, Sept. 1, 2010

[gallina]

Albert,

thank you so much for your great video, it was really surprising to find it - and the quality is super as always!!! I feel just happy

It was very moving to see Leonard's and Javier's sweet smiles. I am very grateful that Leonard considered my little act... I know that in his life it was nothing, he has at least one thousand of monkeys I suppose. Everybody gives him monkey and violin. But for me that was one of the most important moments of my life!!!

He demostrated greatness and pure humanity: his humbleness and his respect to his fans were really touching that night....

Thank you Leonard:

thank you for the beautiful you tube presentation of the concert irishal.

I did scan part of the article Jeanne mentioned , indeed in first row a guy on the left not from the forum, than Paola's empty chair, me, Marco, Wendy, Marie , Al .???? Click on the article and zoom it.

The sad story is true, and unfortunately this woman died before the concert started at 21.10 on her way to the concert- this is really very sad.

There were plenty of articles these days in italian papers about the Florence gig.
It was again a phantastic concert.

As usually, sorry for my bad English.
I make a video, but no good shots, no good audio because it's a bootleg.
However, I tried to create a discrete editing and this is just a small gift with heart for Leonard.
Bye

Pier Paolo Silvestri - I watched your video of "Anthem" - on Vimeo (I love watching full screen on Vimeo!).

And also found it on YouTube -

For your saying "no good shots" and "no good audio" ?? - it is quite lovely!

The shots of some of the smiling people in the audience are quite wonderful!
And shots of the beautiful venue - I love the lights showing in the windows around the square!
All this, along with wonderful video footage of Leonard and band/singers as they perform "Anthem."
Thank you!

Thank you, Sturgess66, you are kind!
For me, my shots of Florence are not very good: usually I film concerts (unfortunately not at Leonard!!!) with 3 or 4 camera and I connect a digital recorder (Marantz) to mixer for audio.
Filming between the public is not do a good job.
I'd pay to film a concert of LC!
Thank you again and, again, sorry for my English (with help of Google translator eheh).
