The band, which has always combined its studio activity with an intense series of concerts around the world, has performed on prestigious stages such as the GO! Lleida '60 Festival in Spain, 100 Club in London, Our Way of Thinking in Chicago, Club Au-go-go in Los Angeles, Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hammond Explosion in Paris, sharing the stage with groups like Manu Chao, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Charles Bradley, James Taylor Quartet, Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, Downliners Sect, Chocolate Watch Band and Bonniwell Music Machine.
The collaboration with prestigious labels such as Acid Jazz (UK), Record Kicks (ITA), Hammondbeat (USA), Soundflat (GER), P-Vine (JPN), Area Pirata (ITA) and many others has allowed the Link Quartet to work with numerous Italian and foreign artists, continually reinventing his own sound, with an eye to the future and one closely anchored in the long and prestigious tradition of the Hammond organ.
After the promotional tour of the album "Minimal Animal" which brought the group around Europe again, the Link Quartet decided to celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday by recording its best songs live in the studio during a three-day open event to the public, held at the Tanzan Music recording studio.
The result is Secret Sessions, a new live album that collects the best of the band's career and that returns all the charge and energy of live performances on disc. From "Beat.it" to "Minimal Animal" via "Italian Playboys", "4", "Fast Girl & Sexy Cars" and "Quattro Pezzi Facili", the group dusts off the classics of his career, offering the listener a new perspective on your sound.
The LP edition was released on May 31, 2019 by the English Spinout Nuggets in a limited and numbered edition of 300 copies together with the digital edition by Tanzan Music and the videos recorded during the performances.

Day Tripper
The Link Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out now
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there, now
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Tried to please her
She only played one night stand
Tried to please her
She only played one night stand, now
She was a day tripper
Sunday driver, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out
Day tripper, day tripper, yeah
Day tripper, day tripper, yeah
Day tripper, day tripper, yeah
The Link Quartet's song "Day Tripper" is a cover of The Beatles' hit song of the same name. The lyrics, like many Beatles songs, contain complex layers of meaning. The song is about a woman who takes the easy way out in life and relationships - she's a "day tripper" who only wants one-way, temporary experiences rather than genuine connections. The singer tries to please her, but she is only interested in one-night stands. It takes the singer a long time to realize that the woman he is involved with is not capable of meaningful relationships.
On one level, the song can be interpreted simply as a commentary on casual sex and the fleeting nature of some relationships. However, on a deeper level, the song can be read as a commentary on the culture of the 1960s. "Day Tripper" was released in 1965 at the height of the counterculture movement. It speaks to the desire of many young people to rebel against traditional societal structures and to live freely without settling down. The woman in the song represents this desire for temporary adventure and freedom.
Overall, "Day Tripper" is a cleverly written song with lyrics that can be interpreted in a variety of ways. It speaks to the complex cultural and social issues of the time in which it was written.
Line by Line Meaning
Got a good reason
I had a solid excuse
For taking the easy way out
For choosing the path of least resistance
She was a day tripper
She was a casual traveler
One way ticket, yeah
Going somewhere with no intention of returning
It took me so long to find out
It was a discovery I made after much time had passed
And I found out
And finally figured it out
She's a big teaser
She's a flirt who leads people on
She took me half the way there
She got me part of the way to where I was going
Tried to please her
I attempted to make her happy
She only played one night stand
She only wanted a brief romantic encounter
Sunday driver, yeah
She acted like a slow and leisurely driver
Day tripper, day tripper, yeah
Casual traveler, casual traveler, yes indeed
