Eros Ramazzotti is like wine, he just gets better with age. Vocally great, amazing musicians, great backing singers including Lidia Schillaci, who should have won the Operazione Trionfo back in 2002. But Eros, despite looking a bit tired and uninspired at first got the concert going soon and in the end the whole Hartwall Areena was on their feet dancing and singing along to Fuoco nel fuoco. Terra promessa, Dove c'è musica, Se bastasse una canzone and L'aurora got also Finns going. And most didn't mind he did a lot of his old songs, all the way from his two first albums. An old fart like this blogger was in heaven to hear songs like Una storia importante, Adesso tu, Un cuore con le ali, Cuori agitati and Musica é, songs that were made and listened when we both were young, Eros and I. After Infinitamente he sent a kiss to heaven to late Little Tony with "Ciao Tony!". I guess no one in arena got that. But I did. Beautiful stage with its multifunctional boxes, great music, great singer.... Nearly 30 songs from nearly 30 years of career on top in two hours. What else one needs to end a hot sunny summer day spent on the beach and a best pizza in town before the contest? I can't think of anything..... Grazie Eros!
Set list: Ancora vita, Sotto lo stesso cielo, Polaroid, Noi, Stella gemella, Questa nostra stagione, Terra promessa, Una storia importante, Adesso tu, Piú che puoi, Emozione dopo emozione, Un cuore con le ali, Cuori agitati, Ti sposeró perche, Un grosso no, L'aurora, Infinitamente, Se bastasse una canzone, Favola, Dove c'è musica, Un attimo di pace, Cose della vita, Io sono te, Musica é.... Un'altra te, Fuoco nel fuoco, Un angelo disteso al sole, Piú bella cosa
