Notes (from 5H):
There is a wide gulf between the audience and the stage, which seems to make Ed
uncomfortable. During 'Hail Hail' he steps in front of the monitors to sing,
and then falls backward as he walks back. =) Ed does not talk to the crowd
until after 'NAIS.' "The last time that we played in Italy, I can't remember if
it was Rome, Milan -- we've had two records in between, we've got some stuff to
catch up on," and that his plan was, since there was so much space between them
and the audience, they would play some extra songs to make up for that
space.
During 'Even Flow,' Ed and Jeff do a jump in unison! 'O Sole Mio' is not a full
version, just Ed fooling around and even singing at the end, "three pounds in a
kilo." This leads to 'MFC,' which is introduced as "This is a song written in
Italy, with Italians." Stage lights are blinding Ed during 'Habit' causing him
to eject "FUCK IT!" and then the band goes into a speeded-up version of the
ending. 'Wishlist' is the lighter song and it is just beautiful. At the end of
'Once,' Mike runs to the side of the stage and plays it to a fan sitting in a
wheelchair. In the middle of 'Insignificance,' all of the lights go off, and at
the same time, the band stops playing for three or four seconds, and then
restart at precisely the same time.
When they return for the encore, Ed makes a comment about being thrown to the
lions, and the band vamps into the improv, a spontaneous little ditty about
"being in the coliseum," based on Tom Waits' 'In the Colosseum." Ed has the
monkey mask again at the start of 'DTE.' Mike solos behind his head during
'Alive.' 'Porch' features the Black Sabbath 'War Pigs' riff.
Prior to 'Soon Forget,' Ed says that he's sure a lot has happened in the
coliseum in the past, and he's sure blood was involved, but he didn't think
that anyone had ever played a ukulele in the coliseum before; he's not even
sure that he could play the ukulele, but that he'd try. During Mike's very
extended solo at the end of 'YL,' Stone throws a guitar pick at him to let him
know it was time to leave! :-) At the very end of the show, Ed walks to one end
of the stage and then the other end of the stage to say goodbye; while he is
doing this (it took a while), Mike is behind his amplifiers, playing hide and
seek - he'd jump up and down, peeking out from behind the amps.
