Verona, Italy, Roman Amphitheatre, 25 June 2013 - ARCHIVE
-
And.... I met them in their hotel after the gig in Verona. They were dining in a private room. Paul was there, but the security put a sreen when he came out so we could only glimpse him. But all the band and MjKim talked with us and made photos. Great after gig!

If someone has got an extra copy of the tour book sold in Verona, please send me a private message. I can either buy it or send my Brazilian tour book in exchange for it. Thanks in advance!

Back home and still reeling... Though it was unseasonably cool, windy and rainy, the seven hour journey to Verona was - as ever - so worth it. Amazing, incredible, unforgettable show and I am still on cloud nine about the seats I ended up with (with my mother, 1st generation fan). Cannot thank this fabulous band enough for a concert I will never, ever forget!

Still not home from the show yet...trying to sort out photos and videos....I filled my hard drive up!! Still on a high from the show
What a great show and the best venue! Does anyone have photos and articles from the local newspaper? Someone took a photo of me while making my sign, it wasn't done yet.. But the writing was finished. I read a translated article and it was a very good review of Paul!! What was the setlist for the soundcheck, anyone? When and where did Paul arrive? So sorry we missed that!!! I have a photo of the full moon over the arena! Was able to go to Abbey Road before we left for Italy! Boycie drew a picture of Paul on the wall at Abbey Rd, he's quite good at it too!
Sorry to 5th Beatle, if I had known, I would have gotten you a program...it was light blue, I'm not sure if it had stars on it? I'll have to check. I got lucky and someone came by selling them for 15 Euros! The amphitheater was so amazing!!! Verona was so beautiful!! Went to Venice the next day and that was amazing too!! Have so many videos to post, just trying to clear out my hard drive!! Heard Paul on the radio in the cab coming in from the airport and then back in London, heard My Soul in the souvineer shop near the National Gallery! Had Paul playing on the iPod for the train and plane rides..As we were driving across a bridge with the view of the Tower Bridge, Londontown came up on the iPod we were listening to!! Wow ...it's been an all Paull week!!! Nothing can compare to Paul in the ampitheater, that will always be my favourite gig from now on!!!

Thank you for mentioning it. I'll keep searching, maybe someone has an extra copy. In the meantime, here is a news report on the concert. Enjoy!

@love2travel GREAT gig in the Arena, the best location for music with a fantastic acoustic! I met the band in their hotel after the gig. They were dining in a private room and the security had put a screen close to the door so, when Paul and Nancy went out, we could only glimpse at them.

Paul made a snub to us all ...but I breathed the same Paul?s air in the hall
Then all the band went out and joined us talking and taking pics with us in the hall: they?re really kind! Wix told me that they couldn?t believe they?d played in such a wonderful place: the Arena is really magic and the audience was great! At the sound check my friends Alessio, Francesco and Andrea were called up on stage: Alessio had a large picture of the crossing in Abbey rd without the Beatles and on the top it was written ? TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES AND JOIN US?. So Paul called them up on stage, took off his shoes and took the pics with them. It was a topic moment! By the way Alessio 2 years ago in Bologna was called up on stage and Paul signed his WINGS jacket....lucky boy: he met Paul twice! Also for the gig we had prepared 200 little posters with a Paul?s photo dressed like a roman emperor and gave them to the first 3 rows in the Arena: wonderful effect! Here you can read and watch something about the gig:

Yes, but I'm not saying which one I am.
There was a famous Italian football player at the concert...anyone know who it was? He was sitting on Rusty's side in the 2nd row. Lots of people were taking photos with him.

He was Zanetti. Internazionale's football player and captain. He's from argentina. He's a great fan of Paul. I'm in the soundchek's video too!

I don't think he was at the soundcheck. I saw him before the show started, and the Italian lady next to me told me who he was. (I asked her if she was on the message board and she had no idea what I was talking about...
) I had a better seat than he did.
