So this was finally addressed:
To avoid unpleasant misunderstanding we are sorry to announce that Claudio Simonetti, Bruno Previtali and Titta Tani will not be present in the line up of the next Goblin tour in the United States, it seemed right to inform all our fans.This was an amazing and unrepeatable tour!!!

(The link itself might or might not work but it was up and saying that earlier today; post itself was from Wednesday.)

The "next" tour? Does that mean the leg with Zombi opening?

Saw Goblin when they came thru Portland on Saturday. Great show. It was really endearing, they seemed to be so happy to be up there.
No real set surprises, they played most of Roller up front (although I didn't recognize a lot of it) and then dove into the segmented soundtrack parts towards the last half.
Profondo Rosso killed.

So is the non-Claudio version worth seeing? They are playing Worcester MA in July.

I imagine they are much like the non-anybody anything bands, perfectly fine.

But I think there are three other actual members in this band IIRC.

They were great when they played in London a few years ago.

Looking at Claudio's Facebook page I think it actually may be his lineup on tour right now: https://m.facebook.com/claudiosimonettiII?fref=nf

Just got back from a screening of L'Inferno (1911) with accompaniment by Maurizio Guarini. I don't know anything about Goblin or their other soundtrack work, but the total effect was stunning.

For those who missed it on the obituaries thread, RIP Massimo Morante. The bandana king is no more!

I was at this Goblin performance in Glasgow. As others have noted here, on the night they were really surprisingly loud and heavy - it was quite a smart and effective updating of their original sound. Really glad I went. RIP Massimo.
