Yes, the guys with the Beatles are the opening act. They were called "I Samurai" (https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?artist_id=1765406&ev=ab). "The Beatles look WAY cooler than those guys ever will be." - Agree, even though my dad is pretty cool ;)
June 24, 1965. Backstage after the concert at the Vigorelli in Milan at the Charly Max with Augusto Righetti e Le Ombre (Shadows) Augusto Righetti e Le Ombre (Shadows): Augusto Righetti guitar and voice, Marcello Olmari sax (Gil Ventura), Bruno Tibaldi bass and voice, Andrea Sacchi guitar, Franco Verde drums.
Yes Alejandro, you're very right about the Charly Max and Augusto Righetti e Le Ombre. I am Franco (Gianfranco actually) Verde, the drummer of Le Ombre and I can confirm all of the other names of the band. Last year in September I attended a Paul McCarthy's concert in Sydney and I had the pleasure and the honour of being part of a small group of people participating to a "Meet & Greet" with Paul before the start of his show. I brought with me a copy of the same photo taken at The Charly Max in Milan and Paul said to me that he remembered the late evening in the club where they all had pasta drenched with good whisky, including Brian Epstein who was there as well. Cheers and thank you for bringing back some fantabulous memories.
Omg in the first pic you get the impression that the people are going to eat them!!!
ReplyDeleteIn the second all of them look so cool and John is soooo cute.
I love Ringo's look. Too cool.
