Rockin'1000

FranPZ · 08-02-2016, 07:21 AM

More than 1000 Italian musicians, directed by Marco Sabiu, playing Rock songs live. They started this dream in 2015, playing Learn To Fly by Foo Fighters to ask Dave Grohl to come and play in Cesena, Italy. Now, on July 2016, they all played again in Cesena in their "That's Live 2016".

Set list:
1) The Beatles - Come together
2) The Black Keys - Gold On The Ceiling
3) Ramones - Blitzkirieg Bop
4) Neil Young - Rockin' In The Free World
5) Rolling Stones - Jumpin' Jack Flash
6) Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
7) AC/DC - It's A Long Way To The Top
8) Patti Smith - People Have The Power
9) Blur - Song 2
10) Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild
11) White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
12) The Clash - Police On My Back
13) Eddie Cochran - C'mon Everbody
14) The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

That's only a taste!

This would be so cool if they played interesting original compositions instead of retreading already overplayed songs.

1000 musicians and they can only play 14 songs? Something about that doesn't seem right to me.

The setlist reads like a mixtape made by a 16 year old 'alternative' kid.

Hey you! Row 400, seat 25, yeah you! You messed up on the chorus. It's G, B, E, not G, B#, E you twit. Someone take him out.

A lot of those tunes are there because they're simple to play so getting everyone on the same page is simplified, and they're popular so they get people to listen to them out of familiarity. I can't see them doing any Paganini in unison.
