24th June 2018 – we're in a beautiful small city in the Veneto region, Vedder's voice is gone six days prior and we're maybe slightly worried about what to expect from the second Italy show; the first of a two-parter in Italian stadiums.

An eyesore of a stadium, seats are even a struggle for someone of petite figure. It's almost a logistical nightmare. Once everyone is in place, they blow us apart – again.

Show of the tour: brilliant performance from start to finish. Last Exit -> Do the Evolution -> Animal is rocking; Mike McCready's solo in Even Flow is the most demented I've ever seen him; Spin the Black Circle is outrageous; an Indifference finish seems so apt. 

Just the perfect Sunday evening.

That is all.

    One of the best Black tags ever, certainly the best Black since 2006 tour.

    I thought the pre game environment was awesome. Could not have gone any smoother. Then trying to get in the stadium was a nightmare, me and about 30 other fans were denied entry and were told to go to another entrance and then when we got to that entrance, we were told to go back. Finally got in about 10 minutes before the show started and then all was good!!!

    Yes. I also was in that group.... Nobody from security had any idea where the 10c entrance was... kept sending people repeatedly back and forth between entrances... It felt like we only found the right entry by luck at last :)... And then it was an AWSOME show!
