 Unstoppable Vasco, always looking straight ahead.

Starting March 5th the preview of Il Mondo Che Vorrei Live is available on Playstation Network. The first rock concert recorded on high-def (Blu-ray Disc). It will be out in all stores by March 13.
“Spinoza said that those in power, need people who are suffering from sadness …
Tonight we are here to deliver some JOYYYYYYY“.
This is what  VASCO used to scream out every night before his concert, and so it is how the Blu-ray Disc starts (1) “Il Mondo Che Vorrei Live“, the eventful show recorded in high definition in Bologna at the Dall’Ara stadium, on the 19th and 20th.
Last September: two unforgivable nights, two consecutive sold out in ‘his’ own town.
We know Vasco likes to communicate through songs, he prefers direct contact with his traveling companions established through the stage during a concert than a television show. Everybody agree that his concerts are a must see.
The fans are lost without his concerts.
That’s why Blu-ray is out: 2 and a half hours of show and 2 and a half hours of special, dedicated to whom was there and want to live those moments again, but also to whom wasn’t there and want to enjoy them now.
VASCO on PlayStation 3
First in Europe on PLAYSTATION ® Network (2), Vasco will be online with some exclusive free downloadable contents for PS3 and PSP.
Thursday March 5th it will be available on PlayStation ® Store (3) the free downloadable hi-def video of the single “Vieni Qui“. A truly unique experience: an ever-unseen Vasco. For this video Swan, director of all Blasco’s lives, drew inspiration from a real event that happened last summer: a couple of “daredevils” new weds went, with their entire crew, directly from the church to the San Siro stadium, to share their most beautiful day with the 70,000 fans attending the concert.
These things can only happen with Vasco; the fans perceive his concerts as parties: the bride in the video cannot resist the temptation to run away to the concert of her idol and at the end she manages to achieve her dreams, including throwing her bouquet from the stage to a huge crowd. On March 12th there will be a new exclusive content for the PlayStation Network’s users: a high-definition movie of the song “Rewind” taken from Skycam, the “flying” camera that recorded throughout the show spectacular images: the audience will have the opportunity to watch the concert from a new point of view, flying over the heads of fans in delirium.
The adventure of Vasco and PlayStation will continue throughout spring with the release of PlayStation3 bundle - Il Mondo Che Vorrei Live, a special limited edition package that will include:
PS3 80GB, Blu-ray Disc “Il Mondo Che Vorrei Live“, and the video game SingStar Vol.3.

2 PLAYSTATION ® Network is the interactive service, launched by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2006, available for free from PS3, PSP and PC.
3 PlayStation 3 Store is the online shop for PlayStation 3.
