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

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

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

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 :)

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.

20. Lukin (Ed gets lost and stops. People shout out songs including “Slow Lukin”. He says I agree. It was a mistake. You want something else.)
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.}
22. I’m So Tired
23. Imagine
24. The Ship Song w/strings
25. Black w/strings {after the song is over the audience starts singing the wordless outro on their own. It goes on long enough that Ed and the strings start playing again}
26. Sleepless Nights {Busking style-no PA, monitors or amplification with Glen. Ed plays Uke. Strings don’t play until the ritardando}
27. Just Breathe {Not the complete song just the first two lines as Willie Nelson. Ed teases Glen by asking him if Willie ever played one of his songs. Glen admits he hasn’t. Ed then points out the Glen has won an Oscar for his song)
28. Falling Slowly-with Glen {Glen sings lead and plays guitar. Ed sings harmony}
{Ed invites a person on stage he jokingly refers to as Dennis Rodman. It is just a tall guy named Fabrizio (sp) in a Rodman jersey. He then tells a story about falling in love with Sicily while paddle boarding)
29. Smile- with Glen
30. Rockin’ In The Free World- with Glen
--
31. Hard Sun-(Peterson) with Glen Hansard and the string players only singing. Ed’s daughters are also on stage. Everyone is in lab coats except the crew.
--
32. Dream A Little Dream Of Me
(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}
