The flood did not ruin Vasco Rossi’s concert, who performed in torrential rain at the San Siro Stadium in Milan on June 11th. This is demonstrated by the many comments, images and videos posted on social media by enthusiastic fans. «Vasco is Vasco – comments Fabi Raine, present at the event -. And he finally returned to speak to long-time fans. A concert like few others in the past (and I’ve seen some). Extremely pissed off setlist, first hour under historic rain and a stage at the limits of impracticability. Diego Spagnoli announces that the concert will take place. “Blasco Rossi”, “Asilo Republic” and “Gli ordini sopra” start. After five songs Vasco is already hoarse. Better yet, it’s even more intense. Stoics. Epic. Thank you”.
Debora Bruno’s account of the evening is similar: «There are few things that I just can’t give up and I will never give up Vasco… One of those passions that it leads you to stand for hours, in the rain or in the scorching sun, with the tiredness of a day’s work on my shoulders. But all the tiredness and problems of life then vanish when the music and its songs that read our souls come on… that music that often saves us from “that hell of the mind that really exists”. As Vasco says, which makes me bring out all the tears held back for months, all that adrenaline and desire to live accumulated over time. Vasco at San Siro is magic.”
Another fan, Debora Draghi, publishes a photo of the soaked concert ticket. «It’s not a ticket from a concert seen years ago – writes the Vasco fan -. It is what remains of the ticket for this evening’s concert at San Siro. For two hours under the downpour, first with the anxiety that everything might collapse, then with the joy of having seen the wettest, but most amazing concert of my life, and I’ve seen a hundred concerts! Great Vasco. You are the undisputed King.” And again, excited, she adds: «I left there soaking wet, cold, I was even shaking. But with a heart full of happiness and a satisfied soul. The tears inevitably fell on “Gli angeli”, the frozen hands that didn’t want to stop applauding you and the band who, in the rain, gave an incredible show! I immediately said, no more lawn, but thinking about it, that’s where you experience your concert, even in the rain.” The messages are all similar. «Queue, rain, soaking wet – is Ilaria Cerruti’s post -, but it was definitely worth it, the barrier is an achievement and the show is always the most beautiful… Thanks to those who made all this possible, and greetings to all the people I met waiting to enter, there is only one life and now I’m enjoying it ».
Alessandro Nicoloso publishes a shot of the stadium after the live and explains why the rain had its advantages. «Between a bubble and a tit in the wind – writes he-he, tonight in the rain we dreamed of a reckless life again… But how many punches in the stomach you gave us. Thanks for the flood, at least we didn’t sweat and it was easier to hide our shiny and aged eyes, in front of every frame of our life that you colored and told. At 58, I still believe in that world that I would like, for better or for worse. I love you Vasco.”
