A Rock Concert? What?

Sound check. We had dinner under the blue umbrella.

By the end of the concert there were maybe 150 people...1/2 the village!

At the concert...feeling very hip.

     You will not believe where we've been tonight...OK, 1 guess...A ROCK AND ROLL CONCERT!!! Yes, a concert, right here in teeny tiny Corniglia, with a population of 300...it was surreal. We had decided to eat out tonight at one of the better restaurants and this place doesn't open until 8, we headed down to the piazza about 7:15 for a short "Veg Session" on one of the bench's...we couldn't believe it, there was a band doing sound test. Very strange! We asked around and found out this Rock Group would be playing for a couple hours starting at 9pm...we don't care why or how...we are going to a concert!  Wow, a concert. Right here on Largo Ataglia square...Cool!
     During our "Veg" we meant a guy and his daughter, and chit chatted a bit. When they started seating for dinner, in european style, they were sat besides us, nice people from Ontario, Canada, they were spending a month touring Italy, he was a retired cop and she's a college student on a 6 month leave from classes, they were fun dinner partners. Nanc and I both ordered Seafood Rissotto and a half liter of vino rossa...these cooks  know their fish the meal was fabulous.

     After dinner we found a wall to stand against and watched a 2 1/2 hour concert...the music was pretty good, but can you imagine...here we are on the cliffs of the Mediterranean, under the 5terre night sky, in a very small village, listening to a Rock Concert which is being performed in front of a 14th century church! Come on, you have to be here to believe this could happen. What an awesome night! They played a couple of encores and had the crowd rocking. This was beyond cool!
