- Unique Italian date of the VDGG 2007 tour, for the RockIn'Umbria festival.
- Fantastic Open-air concert in the little and HOT Umbrian square.
- The gig was professionally filmed and will be streamed on http://www.myspace.com/indieromatv
- some of the pics I took are here:
- Peter hammill speaks a cool italian.

recording:
- this is the first recording I ever share since it's the first where my voice isn't present (that much) and my laughs are not that noticeable.
- very quiet audience luckily - only some noises of beer cans on the ground are audible sometimes.
- I stopped the recorder after Meurglys III to change MD (the HI-MD's can record only 90 minutes in PCM, in case you don't know it), I have to thank the guys who posted the VDGG recordings of this tour on DIME for this, I knew exactly when I had to change MD without missing music following their tracklists.
- I recorded the show from the left side near to the speaker, the last 2 songs and the encore were recorded in a different position, I moved slightly to the center to see the stage better, people on the sides had actually obstructed view in parts because of the guys filming directly on the stage.
- artwork and my ticket (signed:-) are included in the torrent as well as the info file you are reading.

- I get the chance to dedicate this recording to the men who introduced me to Prog as a kid in the early 80s, some of which I met right at this concert after years!
- special thanks go to Leo who made possible for us to meet the artists after the show.

do not convert to whatever lossy format and do not sell.
