Roberto the other half of RanestRane Fanweb Scandinavia went to Rome for the concert in the beautiful theatre Teatro Parchi della Colombo in Rome.
Robert wants to share his words with you!
After
meeting up with a lot of lovely other members of the RanestRane
family, it was around 22.00 time for the band to hit the stage, a
perfect venue, being an amphitheater.
The
band chose to play first set with songs from the first three albums;
Nosferatu, The Shining and Monolith with opening with the song Incubo
of the Shining.
It
was quite clear that the band was on fire and was really focusing on
putting in all efforts to make this a great show, due the fact that
they changed some sounds in some of the older songs to make it fresh
and exciting!
After
Incubo they played some Nosferatu songs where especially Via Da
Wismar made a mark where Riccardo accompanied Massimo on the intro
with his Moog-synth and where Massimo nailed the guitar solo in this
song perfectly!!
The
audience appreciated this with a big ovation!!
Next
on the setlist was Il labirinto again from Shining.
After
this song Daniele took the oppertunity to thank the audience for
coming to the show, which was very appreciated, as a gift to the
audience they played the very beautiful song L`ultimo incontro from
Nosferatu. Rewarded with a standing ovation from the audience!!
After
this romantic song they played Semi from Monolith and again they
showed their skill in doing so, Maurizio`s bass playing was superb,
Daniele`s drumming rock-solid, Massimo was on fire and Riccardo`s
passionate playing was heavenly!!
The
second set, after a short break was all about H.A.L.
This
is the bands latest album and it has several ”highlights” on it
and some very ”not easy to play” songs on it, especially for
Daniele, singing and drumming difficult patterns is hard to do!! But
if one guy can do it …..its him!!
All
members have a lot of input on this album as it is totally a
”band”-album where most of the material is coming from all the
members putting in their very best !!
It
is very difficult to say what the ”highlights” are on this album,
because it’s exciting from the first till the last note. But, I`ll
try to pick out some moments….
One
of most beautiful songs is Freddo al Cuore with a lovely Moog solo
and an even so beautiful guitar solo together with the deep
bass-sounds and the singing makes it ……. you name it.
The
band played with all of the passion they have and nailed every song.
Spacewalk and La Perfezione che si Cerca where beautiful done with
Massimo playing the most beautiful tones ever….goosebumps!
Another
very special moment was the song Buio Intorno with only Daniele and
Riccardo on stage, Daniele`s voice is fantastic and with Riccardo`s
passionate playing it’s hard to keep the eyes dry actually.
They
finished this set with the very exciting Computer Malfuntion
which is a great example of the ”all members” input, because on
this song everyone is playing like their life is depending on it!
Really one of the highlights of the evening for sure!!

After
H.A.L. is was time for the encore.
The
band asked the audience what to play and the first one was Materna
Luna from Monolith followed by Il monolith di Tycho (closing
section).
And
of course the band gave it their very best again to make it an
evening to remember and nailed both songs!!
After
this performance the band received a very long and warm ovation from
the audience who just had experienced an amazing, wonderful and
’never to forget' evening with a band formed by four very skilled
and passionate musicians who make the most beautiful music.
I
think, and I talked a lot with others after the show, that this show
must have been one of their very best shows ever, surely the
beautiful venue has been a help for that too, but a lot of people
said they have never seen RanestRane ”rock” it like this ……
It
was a wonderful and magical evening for both band and audience …..
Thank
you RanestRane ….
