    No, I think they kinda liked us. Well she seemed a bit of a closet rocker anyway! I didn't really talk to many of the others so I dunno if they liked us so much but they never once complained about any of our antics or anything.

    A closet rocker? I remember the days when I used to be one of them...

    They should like us. We do, after all, rock! That's cool though. It's not like we were rude or violent or anything, and we spent a lot, so I guess it stands to reason that they should like us.

    Either that or we were so loud and rowdy and outnumbered them by about 60 that they were afraid to say anything :o

  • Oh wow, what a night!

    It definitely was a special night, cause the show was on even though it was raining pretty bad for the first 45 mins or so...

    A few highlights of the evening...

    Release as an opener, amazing. Mike going nuts on his solos, but Even Flow behind his head>>> INSANE!

    I wanted to hear Inside Job so bad :) And thanks to my friend Killroy, we also got it on camera. He recorded the entire song!!! :)

    A very emotional moment was when Eddie was talking about Johnny Ramones anniversary the night before and how he talked to his wife on the phone and told him to say HI to all Italian fans. COme Back and Miracles for a great friend and musician.
    This was one year ago from Ottawa, one of my last years shows, so I expected them to play Miracles. And what a show!


    Oh yeah, how could I forget? LBC always hits me, esp the part *lost 9 friends we'll never know, 6 years ago (today)*... Ahhh :o


    But....MY VERONA was definitely the best part and so funny! haha...

    Ok, I cant write more, Im still too tired. ill post some pics (even though theyre not so good) and write a full review...Need to recharge batteries ;)

  • Hard to describe this show!

    The rain was annoying as hell but also fun at the same time! It peeved me off that it stopped raining for MMJ's set, but then started again for the first 6 or 7 PJ songs!

    From where we were (the stone steps at the top opposite the stage) the floor looked absolutely dead for most of the night, and the crowd noise didn't sound so loud. But certain songs got everyone going.

    It was still an awesome show, singing along in the rain, fist-pumping all night...and i FINALLY got to hear Release!!!!!!

    I agree, hard to describe it. Lots of tension and I was SO overwhelmed by the ppl, city and all...and then the rain...
    Anyways, it was nice meeting you, Ross, in Milan... That was funny after I realized who you were :)

    Hope you guys had fun at the shows :) Milan was spectacular.

    It was great meeting you too! I just posted a fanview in the Milan thread, don't think it did the show justice though!

    The whole day was totally amazing. Verona is a beautiful city and very friendly. It was so great to meet up with other PJ fans from all over the world. It was a convergence of fans in one little plaza. The rain just added to the atmosphere. It was really amazing to be in an arena from the 1st century waiting for PJ. The rain was dripping down from the roof of the rock ceilings. You could imagine what must have happened in those ancient walkways. The audience was great! Very loud and animated. Even in the pouring rain. We were a little worried at first that the umbrellas would stay up for the whole show, but when PJ started they put then down for the most part. Not for You was a surprise, haven't heard that one for a while, the My Verona was hilarious and fun, of course, loved Release and Once. The absolute best thing though was the sound here. We could hear it from our hotel room. They did a full hour I think of sound check. Immortality twice. I couldn't believe the sound from our room; I had to get to the plaza. Then the sound in the arena itself; on beyond words. I've never heard such good sound. Every word Ed said you could understand. Best venue for sound I've ever been in. Verona is a place I will definitily come back to. :)

  • Hi,

    What an amazing gig.... I thought the rain added so much to it... the city was brilliant... so small that it was impossible not to find the Pearl Jam party.... which went on until the very early ours every morning....

    Here are the photos(Possibly the worst yet)... the blog will follow when I get through my back log of real work in the office:
