Saw them in 1973 ....I was 16.....

 

Good concert...Their keyboardist Toni Pagliuca is good imo....

 

Claudio Rocchi (RIP) was the opener

About "Felona E Sorona":  This is considered by many to be the pinnacle Le ORME recording of all time and I must agree. Gorgeous organ/mellotron led symphonic prog with great musicianship aka Le ORME. Like so many great recordings Le ORME use sound to its fullest creating some unbelievable proggy moments with a heavy emphasis on the classic sound of piano and song structure. Like all Le ORME recordings this is far too short in length and is really a let down when it ends. The songs are very well constructed and written which do not sound dated really considering the age of the recording. "Felona E Serona" is a moody piece and seems to cover a wide spectrum of emotions!

About the lack of green areas in modern cities...Only buildings, smog, bad air quality, sirens moaning instead of humming birds etc..... and the bad feeling and sadness as a consequence....

 

He sings " It's best to flee and never come back ( to the big city)....."

 

Likely the first Italian environment-oriented song ever ( that I know of at least...)....
