Sono gli U2 ad aggiudicarsi la classifica dei migliori tour del 2009 elaborata da Billboard. Bono e compagni con il loro “360° Tour†hanno raccolto 311 milioni di dollari in 44 date (tutte esaurite) per un totale di oltre 3 milioni di spettatori. Gli U2 surclassano Madonna: con due date in meno hanno venduto oltre un milione di biglietti in più superandola negli incassi di circa 90 milioni. Madonna infatti è seconda con 222 milioni di dollari, in 46 concerti (tutti esauriti) e più di 2 milioni di biglietti venduti. Sul podio arriva anche Bruce Springsteen: il Boss ha totalizzato 156 milioni di incasso in 72 date (di cui 42 sold out) e poco più di un milione e settecentomila spettatori.
Al quarto posto si piazzano gli AC/DC con 135 milioni di dollari di incasso in 76 concerti ( 52 sold out) e più di un milione e mezzo di spettatori. Subito dopo il tour di Pink che in 131 date (di cui 69 hanno fatto registrare il tutto esaurito) ha raccolto 102 milioni di dollari, grazie al milione e mezzo di biglietti venduti in totale. Più che ottimi anche gli incassi dei concerti di André Rieu: il direttore d’orchestra e violinista olandese è in sesta posizione con quasi 96 milioni di incasso in 112 concerti (18 sold out) e precede Britney Spears che in 70 concerti del suo tour incassa quasi 95 milioni di dollari. Essendo il suo primo tour dopo diversi anni e soprattutto dopo la crisi esistenziale, Britney può dirsi contenta della fedeltà del suo pubblico dato che ha collezionato 61 sold out.
La classifica dei concerti, poi, vede la coppia Billy Joel-Elton John realizzare 31 sold out su 32 con un incasso che supera di poco i 90 milioni, Tina Turner che si ferma a 86 milioni (59 concerti di cui 47 esauriti) e i Coldplay, che chiudono la top ten, con un incasso totale di poco più di 84 milioni di dollari in 66 concerti e 31 sold out.

si tratta della band che ha accompagnato Capossela in tour, si chiamano Guano Padano, provare per credere il loro cd è uscito in USA su Important Rec.
Guano Padano – S/t out on Important Records oct 2009
Alessandro Steffana released his debut solo album to much acclaim on Important a few years back Since then he has worked as a member of Mark Ribot’s Ceramic Dog project as well as Mike Patton’s Mondocane.
Guano Padano, assembled by Alessandro Stefana, features guests Alessandro Alessandroni (renowned whisteler of the immortal Ennio Morricone western soundtracks), Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart/Jeff Buckley guitarist), Chris Speed (clarinet player with Tim Berne, Uri Caine, John Zorn etc.) and, last but not least, the legendary Italian singer Bobby Solo… Mostra tutto
Guano Padano’s music is a kind of road movie, unfolding between the scorching asphalt of Highway number 4 and the juicy smells of the peasant festivals so common in the Pianura Padana. It’s a dreaming mixture of rock, psychedelia, folk and country, jazz improvisations and Morricone hints. Alessandro “Asso” Stefana and Zeno de Rossi started to work together some years ago while playing in Vinicio Capossela’s band, of which they are still steady members. For this trip they are joined by Danilo Gallo, a double bass player with a dark, meaty, gutsy style, who has shared with Zeno various adventuresmerged in El Gallo Rojo collective, one of the most interesting experiences of Italian underground and independent jazz.

il dole alla fine: Bono, Elvis Costello, Edge – “Pump It Up” x “Get On Your Boots”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXUaE2D7_cU&feature=player_embedded#

Here’s Bono, taking the steam out of all the “Pump It Up” jokes everyone was making on first hearing about U2’s overstuffed bag of sexy boots. This comes from last Wednesday’s Season 2 premiere of Costello’s excellent Spectacle With… show. As per custom, host Elvis runs an engaging Q&A segment with the band and couches it with a bunch of jam sessions in which he joins on their material (“Stuck In A Moment”), occasionally taking one over entirely with the Imposters (here, “Mysterious Ways”), and in a brand new tradition, joins the band on their song that most rips one of his. Bono and Edge also perform the song they penned for Sinatra “Two Shots Happy, One Shot Sad” with Steve Nieve and Pete Thomas, all of which we have for you here via embed. (Stereogum)
