Abandon 1999 : Total Abandon, Pontoglio – Sunday 18 July 1999. For the second time I saw DP in this tour in Italy ( the 4.th time of Abandon Tour ).
As always , I have no words to describe the usual performance of my dear sweet and hard (rock) DP. The same sequence of songs in Milano (see my revew of Milano).
My son Daniele (13 years old ) and I made a poster coloured purple and blue with our compliment to mitic ‘IAN GILLAN’. But the more fantastic thing happenned to me is : I meet for the first time in my life ( after about 50 times that I see DP on Tour) all DP in back stage .
I was very excited , however I was able to have a autograph of all the band’s component on my son’s poster. A friend of mine photographed Ian Gillan and me , Roger Glover and me , Ian Paice and me, Jon Lord and me , Steve Morse and me. I can say all Dp are very very simple person , very kind with all people speaking with them .
When I spoke with Mr. Ian Gillan , I say him : ‘You are the myth of my life ‘. He said me : ‘ Oooohhhh …. Superb !!’
Steve Morse gave me his ‘’ plettro’’ ( I don’t know how say it in English). Also Roger Glover gave me his ‘’ plettro’’ that I present to my purple friend Carlo Alberto, always with me in every concert of DP. Jon Lord , with a great suitcase, stopped himself to make a photo with me: great gentleman! Ian Paice : the same : very very kind.
One of the best days of my life , spent with purple music all days in my ears! Magic DP! I love you more and more and more !!!!!! Long life to DP : great musicians and great gentleman.
