Had a great time at PJ on our last night and it was a gorgeous beautiful night . The Italia fans were incredible around us in the GA and as I’ve said in the past they are IMHO the best fans of all . Release opening was spine tingling as always , but there is something magical hearing Europeans singing the English lyrics to perfection. The fans went ballistic during Corduroy and Why Go , but they seemed to lose a bit of steam after that , but not the band . A guy by me had a sign that read Let Stone Sing and it was great when he busted out Mankind. Pilot has always been a favorite of mine for some reason so it was great hearing it . Immortality is another favorite and it was magnificent in Rome . The set was very good indeed and Ed’s voice was tough in spots , Given to Fly didn’t have the usual bite , but he made it
Overall I loved the show . It was a cherry on a wonderful trip through Spain France and Italia . The food and wine in those 3 countries are indeed magnificent.
My favorite spot was Barcelona (followed closely by Roma), it’s not too big , it’s just right . And it’s so clean . I just love the feel of that city .
