Live '78 is the third live album by Italian singer Mina, released in 1978 by PDU and distributed by EMI Italiana. Recorded at the Bussoladomani theatre on 23 August 1978, it captured the last public appearance made by the singer.[1] It was arranged and conducted by Pino Presti, with Nuccio Rinaldis and Albramo Pesatori as the sound engineers.
Critical reception
Claudio Milano of Template:Ill gave the album an average rating, noting that it has both wonderful numbers and terrifying ones. He called Mina herself the main problem of the album, who sings mostly too pretentiously, and sometimes even vulgarly.[2] In 2012 Rolling Stone placed it on the 81st place of the list of the hundred best Italian albums,[3] and in 2021 the magazine included it in the list of the twenty best Italian live albums.[4] Patrizio Ruviglioni noted that this is the most iconic and melancholic of Mina's three live albums, regal and at the same time modest.[4] In 2015, the magazine Panorama named Live '78 one of the ten essential albums by Mina.[5]
