Thanks for the photo! looks fantastic. Verona is beautiful. have been there many years ago for the opera.
-
They could have put at least six more rows in front of the stage. Still, what a dramatic venue to see Paul, or any act for that matter. If I could pick one show to be at on this tour, Verona would have been it.

I agree! I can't think of a cooler place to see Paul!
-
I wonder why they did that? THAT really is OUT THERE! or BACK THERE! That is a huge space to the 1st row.
at least it is a beautiful venue!

The gap is huuuuuuuuuge between the stage and seats.
Yes I would say it is pretty bad...
oh no what's that? In Warsawa the first row was very close to the stage. I hope we get nearly the same here in Vienna. If not that would be very very disappointing.
-
That gap looks like it might be an orchestra pit or something. It looks sunken a bit. Maybe they couldn't put seats there.
-
It seems they lay down a "false" floor for seats and that leaves that big gap. Not Paul's fault: http://static5.depositphotos.com/1006774/408/i/950/depositphotos_4083651-Amphitheater-in-Verona-Italy.jpg

No doubt health and safety killed the idea of more seats

Honestly, I couldn't care less how many seats are at the concert. It was just an observation.
-
All considered, that's probably the best view of the stage, and the screens, that distance back. I'd take it!

I agree. I'd take those seats! I never said anything about health or safety. Not sure where that came from, meaning form the previous post.

Vienna will be pretty close if it was like Springsteen you can stand on the railing right in front, then further back they have a wavebreaker to separate the golden circle. But not expecting a full house as they had some troubles with ticket sales.

So I was trying to read a review of Paul's Verona show in Italian , using Google translate: http://www.lastampa.it/2013/06/26/spettacoli/musica/larena-si-inchina-a-paul-mccartney-il-vecchietto-terribile-1ZCjdmXGibCT7tosSS33sO/pagina.html I can't tell if they liked the show or not. The headline calls him a "terrible old man" which doesn't sound like praise!!! But then the story keeps referring to his energy. And The Terrible Old Man is a famous short story about an old man who is stronger than people think. The headline translation is: The Arena bows to # Paul_McCartney, the old man terrible. In Verona, nearly three-hour concert without batting an eyelid But the review also seems a bit snotty. Can anyone read Italian and tell me if this is a positive or negative review??? It's really weirdly written. On Twitter of course, there were loads of positive comments calling the show fantastic.

Paul brought the sun on a cloudy night. The song list was similar to the others. Performance was super as usual; there can be some lacks in the voice or little mistakes with the instruments (Yesterday) but we love Him and we won't matter. Funny situation was that when he was to play Yesterday, Paul checked in his pocket for the guitar pick!!!!!!!! ? then he realized that he plays it with fingers!!!! shock My dream is that (if) I reach 71 I will be Like you, my old friend. I love you. Really hope to see you again. Arrivederci D D

Well this review is much more glowing: http://www.repubblica.it/spettacoli/musica/2013/06/26/news/mccartney_arena_verona-61859615/ The headline is: Paul McCartney at the Arena di Verona: a celebration of art and life Some quotes from the review: An audience that is literally exploded into a standing ovation when McCartney and the band took the stage, and then sang from start to finish. And he, Sir Paul, moved by so much enthusiasm, did not give a second, was not spared, has rewarded the efforts of those present with a concert really fantastic.
