The Show:
An A+ show. This is the first show in Italy in over three years. Given the amount of time the loyal Italian fans have waited for Bryan to come to their country, they are pumped! Bryan and the band are in top form and the overall show should be one of the highlights of the entire tour. This is the only concert out of the four in Italy with a B-Stage performance. The video captures just enough of the crowd, Bryan and the band to give you a true impression of how they are feeding off each other's energy. Bryan keeps the conversation to a minimum and sticks with the music.

The Songs:
This show is a 29 songs set; 11 songs from 18 Til I Die, 4 from Waking Up the Neighbours, 5 from Reckless, 1 from Cuts Like A Knife, 2 B-sides and 6 cover songs. The newest live songs, I Think About You, Star, We're Gonna Win, Hey Elvis and I Will Always Be Right There , not only sound great live, they look great live on video. On the B-Stage, Bryan performs Dizzy Miss Lizzy which he introduced the show before in Munich. Heaven is fantastic as Bryan does the first two verses with his guitar with the crowd singing along. I Fought The Law is performed during the middle of the set, which is not common. With the crowd so energetic, all songs sound great.

The Recording:
This is the one of the best overall amateur video recording of a complete Adams show. My copy is direct from the master. The vantage point the camera is filming from the centre of the arena at the back - similar to the Bethlehem '92 video. One can see what a great impact the fans on the behind-the-stage scaffolding give to the show. The zoom lense is used often to capture some impressive close-ups. The location for the B-stage could not be better. This photo is taken from the video during the B-stage portion of the show.
