Comment
October 5 / Verona, ITA / Arena
Notes: "Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah..." On a tour not known for setlist shake-ups or tour premieres, out comes a wild one in Verona. Four tour premieres, includinging Bobby Jean. Backstreets reader Alberto Covin (who wrote of his disappointment after the first two shows) checked back in to file this report: "To my deepest happiness, let me say that Verona show was awesome in every aspect: Bruce as a performer, the band, the setlist, the crowd, the venue (the Arena is not like any other Palasport). Bruce talked a lot (which I missed in previous shows), in Italian too. He said, 'I feel inspired tonight,' and the setlist proves it. A long intro in Italian for a 'biblical tale about Samson and Delilah [a.k.a. "If I Had My Way"].... good luck, Samson!' And they played, with the whole band in a semicircle, a funny song, with just the stand-up bass and some percussion, and all the band singing about Samson and Delilah, a very special moment. He introduced Patti after 'If I Should Fall Behind,' saying that she has to leave the tour for the moment, because 'iragazzi hanno bisogno della mamma' (The children need their mom), and she sang Valerie, from her first album. Then, 'Verona è la città di Romeo e Giulietta' (Verona is the town of Romeo and Juliet), 'Questa è solo per Verona'... and started Fire, which was sung by the whole audience. Every song has been sung, danced, lived by the people. I said we are spoiled by Bruce, and we were not extremely happy after Bologna and Torino. Now we are: completely, thoroughly happy."
