Re: Feature #145 - Francesco Di Giacomo/Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso
Thanks for the show Dale. I was fortunate to see Francesco a couple times at Nearfest with Banco, the 2001 show was amazing. It was without a doubt one of the best concerts ever. They came out for 3 encores, 3 standing ovations and Francesco was actually crying.. Vittorio (keyboard player) was kidding him that he was a bambino, Francesco was so touched that the crowd loved them as much as we did. He was a gentle giant of a man and I for one will miss him but it is wonderful that he gave us all of this great music. He is and will always be one of the greatest vocalist of our time.
