We Have Recordings Now! is the second album of Stonehenge_VM containing live studio recordings. Unpublished! In this album, recorded on 2006, musicians are different from the first recording (see previous history)! On the beginning of 2001, Claudio Russo, after a heated discussion, left the group. In his place and in that of Andrea Dreoni who in turn will leave in 2002, took over, at different times, Franco Ghezzi (guitar), Claudio Gordigiani (singer, piano, keyboards) and Franco Norcini (guitar). The performances continued frequent in various locations in and around Florence. Of note are those at Central Park, at the Festival dell’Unità in Florence and Prato, at the Baribal in Calenzano and those, which have become recurring in the meantime, at the Porto di Mare-Eskimo Club (Florence), at Palco Rock 2004 as well as numerous private parties.
You may watch some videos of the live concert held at “Porto di Mare – Eskimo Club“on 2006 clicking on Audio & VideoPlaylist. In May 2007, after nine years, the curtain closes on the “Stonehenge VM” branded Valerio Monti. The more melodic of the two singers, main and undisputed animator of the group, in turn leaves the Band. The group had given about 100 concerts during their stay!
As we Are & Stars Tribute
First track of the penultimate album of “Stonehenge RockBand“, “As We Are“, released on December 25, 2020, is featured by Valerio Monti and it is the track n° 7 Locomotive Breath (streaming audio available on VideoPlaylist) enclosed on this album and remastered.
Two other songs, Stay (track n ° 9) and Funny how love can be (track n ° 10), always sung by Valerio Monti and always recorded live at La Sala in Florence have been also included, remastered, in a Stars Tribute, the last compilation LP of “Stonehenge RockBand”, to be released in December 2021. These are melodic pieces that are well suited to Valerio’s voice. On the same LP a fourth track was added duly remastered. It is I’m a man (track n° 11) sung by Claudio Gordigiani.
