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!
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.

It was awesome! Podgie (can't wait for more shows now!) Monkey
