Intoducing looking for a fox,Paparozzi said the second movie was a flop.

Eddie Floyd started a duel between Blue lou and Steve Cropper

Eddie Floyd says to three guys dressed like BB to jump on the stage during soul man and Everybody needs somebody(they dance quite well)

The concert in Salerno is more or less like what happened in Genoa (14 July); apart from the Paparozzi's jump from the stage: it was too high!!!
