The concert

1. How Do Ya Feel Tonight
2. Back To You (definitely an appropriate line for the night :) and the audience really loved it!)

At some point Anna held up our banner for Keith: "How was Venice??" (he had told Stefano that he and Mickey had spent the day in Venice) - Keith smiled at us, came close and told Anna moving his lips: "Fantastica!!!". Of course, Anna was in heaven :).

3. 18TID, great as usual.


4. Can't stop this thing we started - how great it always sounds...


5. Summer of 69 - here Keith started the intro 3 times: every time he started it, we cheered, he stopped and Bryan laughed!!! We sang the 1st lines as usual, and Bryan seemed to like it a lot...
   He said "it's been so long and we were really looking forward to coming back to Italy, it's so... " he couldn't even end the sentence as the crowd was so loud! He pointed at our banner and smiled ("Cardiff...Hyde Park... MILANO! Grazie Bry!"). He introduced the band, explaining how Mickey really loves Italy because of pasta, etc... big laughs!
   
6. It's Only Love
7. EID - Bryan explained that he wrote it in the studio in just one hour "dunno why, it just happened!" :)), he then waited for us to guess what song it was, played the first chords, and stopped as if that was all... then he finally started and I thought the venue was falling down for the LOUD cheering it got!!
8. Getaway

Bryan asked to turn the lights on and looked at us with a big smile. I held up my banner: LOOKING FOR TROUBLES BIG BOY? HERE WE ARE! (3 red arrows below our names pointed at us), he read it, smiled, and told me: "Troubles?" I answered "Yeah!", he asked me "Are you a trouble??" I replied "Yeah, definitely!!", he smiled and told me "I *know* you're a trouble!!" :)). Now, my turn to be in heaven...;) I then heard that I was on the maxi screen as this happened... oh my... BLUSH!!!
Then he got some present from other girls, took a rose, etc... Then he started to explain how Keith was the most important member of the band "without him, these songs would be nothing!!", Keith smiled and bowed, Bryan went on: "For example, listen to this:"
9. Keith started to play the intro to Have You Ever... But Bryan interrupted him and explained him how to do it... so Keith did it again, but Bryan stopped him once more... we were all laughing out loud. Then Keith finally started it and Bryan sang all of it with the sexiest and sweetest voice he could use...
10. I don't wanna live forever
11. "This is a song called Cuts Like A Knife"... he kept the Na Na Na joke for so long that I thought my voice was lost forever... he never seemed to be satisfied! :))) But at last he gave us a big cheer and clapped his hands to us for a long time!
12. C'mon C'mon C'mon... now this was fabulous...

Then, lights on once again. I had a little banner which started with "HEY YOU STUD..." :)) I don't think he read all of it, but after reading the first line he made a big smile of his.
Then he said: "I know how Italians love singing... don't you? [talking to someone in the audience] Not tonight? Ok, not you... I'd like someone to sing with me... a woman...you?? No, not you [a boy], I'd like... you know..." he made the shape of a woman with his hands...:)) He even sang a bit of "Volare..."...:))
13. Then he chose a young girl and they sang WYG. He was very nice and funny with her. I cannot really say how she was as I couldn't hear her voice! But she seemed quite good. I've been told that she had to sign a lot of papers when she got off, probably to authorize the recording of the show...
14. I'm Ready - this sounded great, even more because the audience was singing it along!!
15. Heaven - everyone was singing it along... I love it when he does the high voice at the very end... wow!

Someone asked him Hey Elvis but he replied "Not tonight... Elvis has already left the building, you know!!!" :)) and he pointed somewhere behind himself.
16. Before the Night Is Over - everyone jumping once again!
17. Blues Jam - the beginning "RRRRRRRR" was soooo long, we were all screaming!! When he was singing "she's the kind of troubles" he was looking right at me, so I pointed at myself with a finger smiling at him... he got it and laughed right at the end of the line! :))) Then he made the usual joke with a female voice... but longer than in the summer gigs... Then he kept interacting with us, repeating our gestures etc... for all the song... how fun!!
18. The Only Thing... the YOU! YOU! YOU! thing at the end got a very big reaction from the audience so that he kept it for quite long!

Then he pretended to leave... thanked us all, introduced the band again making a *funny* "Godfather" voice... :)) and they all bowed after a lot of jokes around the stage...
But of course he came back with
19. Cloud #9
20. Somebody - it's great he's playing it again after keeping it off the 18TID tour!
21. Run To You

Again he pretends to leave, again we call him back...
22. "This is a brand new song, it's called The Best Of Me!", he smiled with a surprised face when he saw that some of us were singing along...
23. Kids Wanna Rock - Keith was amazing, I thought he was gonna burn his guitar! Bryan stayed behind, looking at him with an amazed smile...

He said goodbye once again, but we were calling him loud, so he called back the band, they gathered and then he came to the mike with that big smile and said "Just one more, ok?"!

24. Please Forgive Me, just beautiful!

They said goodbye once again, then Mickey left first, and Bryan stayed on the stage, going left and right, saying goodbye with a huge smile, he even looked a bit moved!!! The crowd kept cheering, and he kept waving his hands and thanking, saying "grazie" with and without the microphone... he didn't seem to want to leave at all!!!
But at the end he did, so we had to gather our strenghts and go outside... I bought the Tour Programme as I really wanted a memory of such an amazing night...
