<i>De André canta De André Vol. 3</i> 2017 live album by Cristiano De André

De André canta De André - Cristiano De André Live ["DeA sings DeA"] is a 2017 live tribute album by Cristiano De André, consisting of remakes of songs co-written and originally recorded by his late father Fabrizio De André. A follow-up to his 2009-2010 same-titled releases, it features an eclectic selection of songs from throughout Fabrizio's career. It was recorded during Cristiano's 2017 tour of Italian theaters - his second tribute tour to his father and, as of 2019, his last such tour. The album is notable for including the first officially released live performances of "Canzone del maggio" and "Il bombarolo" - both from De André Senior's 1973 concept album Storia di un impiegato - since he performed the album in its entirety during his 1975-'76 tour of Italy, his first one; after that tour, the album's content disappeared completely from Fabrizio's live setlists, except for the sentimental ballad "Verranno a chiederti del nostro amore" - arguably the best-known song from that album.
