"A live album is one of the most naturally born ideas of our twenty-year journey. In 2022, we had just decided to rent a mixing console for the "Videogame" tour. The opportunity to record every concert was tempting, and by the end of the tour, we had 34-35 setlists from which we could compile a real live album. And it was precisely around this word "real" that we eliminated all doubts: nothing could be faked, re-recorded, or overdubbed; we had to select the best songs, "clean up" the tracks, and mix them. The moral imperative to represent live who we are, with music, determination, jokes, goliardic nonsense, the warmth of the people, all of that had to remain and therefore be "true", not perfect or artificial, but true.
Another aspect we are proud of is that it is a genuine DIY project, in which the entire Talco family participated: from our sound engineers Matteo "Houdini" Piccolo - who recorded all the live performances of the tour - and Edoardo "Dodi" Pellizzari (Overdrive Recording Studio), who mixed the album, to the band's contribution, which worked for more than a month in the studio to edit all the tracks recorded during a year-long European tour.
We never thought we would make a live album again, but maybe we will need it after another ten years. Many bands reach a goal by thinking of a celebratory collection, but the "Greatest Hits" of a live band can only be a live album. And here we are now, 20 years after the start of our career, celebrating our dream with an ever more complete tracklist. Always remembering that a goal is not the end, but a new path to walk ..."
