2014-06-20: San Siro: Stadium Milan, Italy

[Leatherhead]

Milan got a shockingly poor setlist, for what it was

Uh, that looks pretty alright to me.

Main set looks good, the encores don't do it for me... but would have been BETTER if they had done GS and Comatose.

Set seemed greatest hits laden to me. That's not a surprise given the attendance. 50,000 people tonight and only 15,000 people in Vienna two shows from now. What a difference.

Set seemed greatest hits laden to me.

Funny, it's doesn't strike me that way at all: Pilate, WHO YOU ARE, Sad, Thin Air and a few unexpected placements (early Black, etc.)

I like the hits, anyway.

It seems like a really well-paced set too, unlike the show I saw earlier this year.

[E.H. Ruddock]

That seems like a great setlist.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Oh and its your turn on words, spenno.

According to Wikipedia most of the major rock shows at San Siro have had crowds in the mid 50,000 range.

The crowd was really into Release, Go & Corduroy to start - Black felt a little early in the set as it was still light out at that point but worked well sonically after Sirens. Given To Fly was one of the weaker versions I've seen - Ed seemed to blank on the entire first verse. What followed, though, Who You Are and Sad through to the end of the main set were all strong versions. I enjoyed Thin Air & Lukin in particular from encore 1 & Ed's introductions tonight for Just Breathe and Alive set up the songs really well.

Was cool to see Ray Cameron (Matt's son) up there on guitar for Rockin in the Free World.

That sounds cool. Release with such a huge crowd must have been pretty sweet.

Just not what i expected for a show of that size, but usually the ones that look underwhelming on paper, are the better performances..everyone i know that was there last night said it was a religious experience and 'this was the show Wrigley was meant to be'.


fair enough.

corduroy..sound delay..must have been really humid

The criticism on the setlists is getting a bit ridiculous really.

[CopperTom]

Trying to find that either here or on the official forum wasn't easy; nobody knows how to run a decent setlist relay, I swear.

LiveFootsteps has had a live set list update for all of the shows.

[VinylGuy]

Thats a great setlist...and the setting is cool too...Huge crowd right?

It's quite good. He replied to me on twitter that it's not something they will be doing all the time, so enjoy it while you can.

Release sounded great in this short clip, particularly with that crowd!

However, as far as Ed's lyrical fuck ups go, this one is quite something. He forgets the entire first verse to Given To Fly, and only sings at the first pre-chorus. (Some serious zoom on this camera too!)

[Kaius]

that crowd was intense

Did you go? RM seems to have little representation at the first few shows at the tour.
