Over 1,500 people invaded Milan's Alcatraz last night for the first date of the Italian tour of Paul Weller. After an intense performance by special guest Raffaella De Stefano in an acoustic guitar and vocal duo, it was the turn of the former leader of Jam and Style Council, who enchanted the audience with two hours and twenty minutes of show full of historical hits and new songs from his latest work 'As is Now"(released a fortnight ago on the V2 label).
