Ugh. Flights are $2,000 but tickets are still available and reasonably affordable via non fan club.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I would never pay 2,000 to see any concert, ever

Yea but this is also going to sicily. its not just the concert.

Im digging in and seeing if i can get there cheaper. Flying to london is much cheaper and ryanair has flights to Rome for like $49

It's still a bit of a walk & swim from Rome to Sicily.

On much way to Italy for these two. There is no wifi apparently so I won't be able to post here but I'll try put some pics up on instagram.com/woodenideas if anyone's into it

[wease]

Did he play Better Man?

[Strat]

Dime has not messages me since show's end.

He is going to have a hell of a story to tell tomorrow

[dimejinky99]

Just wow. Seen a lot of strange things and been in a lot of beautiful place and a venue shouldn't really have any bearing on a show but that did. It's a stunning setting. Just so beautiful.

A game ed. he brought it.
Too many highlights but him and glen doing sleepless nights without mics you could have heard a pin drop. And this was an Italian crowd. Him and the band are fuckin worshipped here. It'll be a real shame if they don't realease some kind of DVD for this tour. Especially after this one. Gonna have to top it tonight. Just an incredibly great show. We got the best seats in the house too which helped

[spike]

I recognize the heads of my buddies in the second row in front of Glen there. Crazy bastards.

I also think we're in the wrong thread.

21. Porch
--
(Ed invites a young boy named Jake onstage. Ed jokingly offers him some wine and has the house lights brought up so Jake can see the audience. He then has the lights dimmed and people turn on their phone flashlights and wave them around. He has Jake “blow” the lights out.}

(earlier in the show Ed commented about how he would climb the shit out of the place. As he leaves the stage he jumps on some of the brick like he will climb it. Crowd cheers. He waves and goes offstage}
