Without taking anything away from the many guests of the evening, whether they were perfect or kept there with scotch. Without taking anything away from Article 31 who shared a good piece of road with him, without taking anything away from Paula & Clare who began as his backing vocalists and then they too marked an era, albeit perhaps to a lesser extent.
Without taking anything away from Lazzawhich today has the same ascendancy over the very young ‒ and over children, a market segment that is always too underestimated ‒ as it had thirty years ago, to Gazzelle which perhaps more than anyone else has picked up on the style of writing, to Riccardo Zanotti of the Nuclear Tactical Penguins that in recounting the serene and resigned normality of the province today he is considered his heir, and neither of them hides it. Without taking anything away from anyone, that’s it.

Ma Max Pezzali remains the only and original, difficult to imitate, squeezed as it is in a gap of Italian pop evident to all yet impossible to fully explain.
It’s not every day that you get to see a concert like the Circus Max of last night, that is, at a great live at Circus Maximus of such an artist, on the market since 1992 and who in the last fifteen years has collected a number of hits that can be counted on the fingers of one hand (the last real hit, The universe except usis from 2013).
Indeed, that is, it never happens. The same Vasco Rossi, to quote another tenant of the house, has always remained at the top; the others, from Mengoni a Last until Travis Scottare young, “on track”, still others like i Guns N’ Roses they are international stars and every time they come to us it is an event.

Instead he was born in 1967, he’s always been in our music, he’s a familiar face, he’s faced ups and downs, lean periods and other great successes, he’s always continued to play live. And after performing for twice at the San Siro in 2022, yesterday for the first time he did it in front of an audience of 56 thousand people in the city which, for reasons of the heart, had adopted him at the end of the 2000s (and to which he dedicated a memorable passage, In this townin which he exorcised their problems with a “… otherwise even ‘sti cocks”), always with a repertoire that dates back to the nineties, to the 883 period.
And it is certainly a humble and successful move to take a step back, accept that you have given your best in the past and start from there. But this is neither a reunion nor a multi-pronged revenge (critics continue to ignore them, they sold six million copies at the time), nor his ascension to the role of revered master. Things?

There is a nostalgic componentthat yes, without a doubt, highlighted for example by visual themed nineties that served as a compendium for a circus tent-style park, complete with a caravan from which the various guests came out and various objects from the golden age, including that Harley-Davidson that started the dream of 883 with the partner Mauro Repettoin the name of a myth that knew a lot about America seen from the provinces.
But beyond an excellent and also legitimate capitalization of the vintage effect that Pezzali has been pursuing for some time, and a truly varied audience – twenty-somethings, thirty-somethings, families with children in tow – certainly full of happy memories for a he era that no longer exists, in an era from which anyone would like to escape, is that the sun has never set on certain passages.
An evening like yesterday demonstrates how the various You’re a myth, They killed Spider-Man, How come, North South West East, The harsh law of goals it’s still The strange path ed Here you are ‒ all singers by heart from the public, in a karaoke effect impressive from thirty pieces and almost three hours of live ‒ have passed the typical life cycle of songs.
In short, they are not simply classics, they have not lost their sense or contact with reality. But they are songs that in the immediacy that has always been contested, with those clear lyrics inspired by country and adhering to their era, still describe well the everyday life of a province identical to then, with stories in which nothing happens and everything happens.
The desire to escape, friends, loves, the fear of being or becoming adults, the pride of “bad luck”: it’s all still here.
Maybe brands, fashions and references have changed (the famous “New carpets, Arbre Magique”, to understand each other), but the underlying language and feelings, the sense of emptiness and melancholy that made Pezzali the singer-songwriter of bar stories par excellenceatypical pop stars, resist even today that the bar as a meeting place has been replaced by the virtual square.
He noticed it, and in his usual flowered shirt he staged a show consolidated over time and tested by a very intense last season, he played with the past and the future, with the usual anti-star pose even in a situation such.
But it is not true that, as he sings it Years, perhaps the highlight of the evening, “nobody back is going to bring it back, not even us.” The songs of 883 and their province have never left.
