| Kosta Zafiriou about DVD "Past & Present", "Melodic Rock" fanzine, 2009  Question: What do you particularly remember about that exhibition? Is it to be considered the best concert PC 69 have done till now with the actual line-up? Answer: It was a very good show, but DVD shows, especially when they are at home and all friends an families come to see the show are always a bit difficiult. For some reason, cameras seem to change a concert when the red light is on, even with very experienced bands. Nevertheless, the feeling for us was very special and the night was one to remember for all of us! Q: Which other great live dates do you particufarly remember in the band's history? A: As we mention in the interview section of the DVD, there's many of them: The first tour, the European tour with Europe, playing Rock am Ring Festival, playing in New York, playing in Japan... there is so many to mention! Q: Besides the CD package release, I love so much the DVD one, featuring the entire CD concert, plus an huge quantity of bonus material, such as past concerts with the previous lineup featuring Andy Deris, and a sort of behind the scenes documentary. Please, give us your impressions about it. A: The idea was to give the fans an entire overview of Pink Cream 69's activities. We've been around for a long time, we lived through many things, recorded albums and travelled the world touring and playing concerts. We tried to show the buyers of the DVD as much as possible. Q: In your opinion, what is the most important moment among the ones the band spends just before each concert? A: I think this is very individual for each person. I always get very tired and sleepy the last hour before a show, until I start warming up a few minutes before the show. It seems like my body is gathering all energy it can get for a little while, just to release the power for the concert. Q: Today PC 69 is a different band comparing to the early days. Its musicians have been evolving so as performers than as composers, and the line-up is not the same one as on the early releases. Are there some peculiar qualities the band has been keeping along the years without denaturizing them? A: Of course we have our musical trademarks which we made sure to keep throughout the years, but in general it has to be a strong song for us with the right muxture between heavyness and melody. Q: ...And what is the most important quality the band has been gaining in the last years with the actual line-up? A: I think working effective and bringing it on the point is a quality we are pretty strong about, if I compare with other bands. We know each other's strength, have experience and know what the band is all about. Q: Next steps? Are you already working on new compositions at the moment? A: Yes, we are! Although we don't have a precise timing for the release of the new album, we already have several ideas and work on new material. Author:
