Review Concert Teatro Parchi della Colombo in Rome - Italy 29th of July

Hi all!

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 ….
