Three years later, I am still a fan of Adelmo Fornaciari's music. Over the last 3 years, I have bought most of his CDs (some of those were overseas purchases, thanks to Amazon). I have since then, listened to many of the people who sang with Zucchero, read about their background and have been awed and overwhelmed (for example, to know about a blind gentleman with a PhD in Law, or a guy who left his PhD work, and with a paper published in "Nature", at the eleventh hour to play guitar full time in a band....fascinating for me). I'm usually not into music videos; I find them boring and noisy. There are very few music videos that I like (U2's Rattle and Hum, or Neil Young's Greendale etc. are some examples). But this one is among those which really captivate me. (No doubt, I like to watch videos of many different but particular songs, but to watch a complete video of say 1 hour duration is something tedious to me.) However, this video is more than 2 hours long, and yet it never makes me feel bored. Zucchero is a great singer, so it is always a pleasure to listen to him; his all-star cast makes the experience of watching this DVD even better. It is true that most of the songs (Zucchero's parts, at least) is in Italian; but then music is something that goes beyond the barrier of language (my eyes become watery while watching Renee Fleming singing "Song to the Moon" in Czech, a language of which I do not even understand a single word). You will probably never worry about the tongue Cheb Mami sings in, for example, while watching the video. And like many others have already noted, Eric Clapton is not a substitute for B.B. King, notwithstanding the fact that Clapton enjoys "Riding with the King".
