DNA - Italian Tribute to Pink Floyd (Live)

D.N.A. history  takes a first " Sign of life " step thanks to  Gilmour follower named PAOLO FIORINI  around 1976 .His music gift was  given from his brother Gianni  ..an early Pink Floyd fun .
VALERIO POLENTA (bass), GIANNI ZITTI (drum) and Andrea Fabi (keyboard) were the " difference" between the other Bands .They was " raptured " by PINK FLOYD music instead of the  Hard Rock music tendence .
Andrea Fabi bought
DARK SIDE and was a shock for everyones ,suddently the UK Band become for those young guys a good to venerate!

We still remember a lot of rehearseal , poor gears and few gigs opportunities.But wasn't enought to loose faith and else.  Faustino Fiorini , PAOLO's  Daddy, was  a great support for them since the first times ! Without him DNA could not exist !!
On  1977 was year of changes DNA claim FRANCO STACCHIOTTI (bass),  MARCELLO COLO’ (keyboards) and  Franco Santecchia ( additional guitar ).
One of the  best performance  was held on April 16th 1980 at the GALLERIA theatre of Ancona.We played The Wall tribute and the audience was sold out! Just to give a more emphasis ,with Mr Faustino yet , was made a big rotative mirror used to reflect all of the lighting effects.

 

 

At end of those year with the entrance of  REMO ZITO  such vocalist and drummer Dna band once more was   changed 
After a bit of time where they was involved in own musical  composition DNA decided to realize a Genesis Tribute .Was inevitable due  Remo's voice ...just really sound like to
PHIL COLLINS timbre ! Remo ( later with Via Verdi band ) get the start point for this project also with the great drummer support of Alessandro Carlini .( actually Master of Percussion) 

So in the 1981 March 12 with those new crew  DNA schedule was ... D.N.A. PLAYS GENESIS !!  They held a performance at Cinema teatro GOLDONI  of  Ancona with a unexpected audience ( in detail was 2.000 people ) Unfortunatly   500 without ticket  was outsided  .

Was a really great performance at those time !!

Audience was exciting and DNA too!

Then ... around november of 1982 DNA played for the first time ,at Teatro Tenda of Ancona their own composition .Just only at the end of the performance they played Genesis again such a Bis !
After a couple of years DNA was at the break up point due a differents  views and hiring.
There was  a special gig at those time in a Disco club where DNA held a double tribute ! They played 
PINK FLOYD and GENESIS. at the same evening  

Once more changed for DNA band again ...was 1982,, New entries  and new music schedule for them!There was  DANILO BRUGNINI at drum , Andrea Bernardelli on keyboards, Paolo Brunori trumpet, FABRIZIO BOSIsaxophone and a new background vocal trio:NUNZIA SENIGAGLIESI, DANIELA CANOVA  and Cosetta Provinciali. With Fiorini, Zito, Stacchiotti and Santecchia  DNA on December  22th at Teatro Sperimentale of Ancona played a new  show  PHIL COLLINS Tribute .Was a sold out show..again ! Once   D.N.A. reprise was at july of  1995 .
Here is the band :PAOLO FIORINI , MARCELLO COLO’, FRANCO STACCHIOTTI, GIANNI ZITTI (15 years later );then STEFANO TONNARELLI (voice) SIMONE IPPOLITI (guitar). Dna back to play  Pink Floyd  thanks  the sonic  opportunity  available with the  instruments  gear of those years! 
Was a great experience to play at FAUNO (  Stefano Renzetti was promoter of this show)  ) ...a wonderful  Music Point placed on a  rich nineteenth-century building located at  Potenza Picena ( near to  Macerata ).
On this schedule  after many years
THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY  was performed by DONATELLA DURANTI .The show was ended by  ECHOES . We remember  1996 such one of the best year! In fact on February   ENRICO RAGNI,   musicians and chiarman of  A.M.A. Associazione Musicisti Ancona, with the techincal support of  the  PUNTO LUCE   (ENZO TREVIGLIO resp.)  arranged the best show of DNA at Teatro ALLE CAVE of Sirolo near to the wonderful Riviera del Conero.!!

Everythings was perfect ..just starting with a great lighting effects ..plenty of scanners and else .Audio PA arranged by PRO AUDIO SERVICE. was great too !

Those  performance thanks to the previous gig held on CINEMA TEATRO ITALIA of Ancona was unexpected.

FewMonths later...DNA  Band add  some musicians as MAURO SORDONI  on percussion, Paolo Altavilla at saxophone and  DANIELA CANOVA, Anna Latini, DONATELLA DURANTI at background vocals.
On  May 21th  , since  early afternoon , Cinema teatro ITALIA  was sold out thanks the great advertising activities of A.M.A.  association .
The performance was acclaimed in detail during
COMFORTABLY NUMB  solo guitar  supported by lighting scanners refletted on a 5 meter diameter screen.
ON  29th july 1996 at 9 p.m all lighting effects start with
