Saw the Electric tour here, fabulous venue. Didn’t know it was outside until I arrived!Dog wrote: Wed 14 Jun 2023, 1:29 pm A fantastic night in Rome last night. Just a couple of hours before start time and torrential rain and a huge thunderstorm made a cancellation look likely, given Auditorium Parco Della Musica is open air. As I had flown out from the UK this was a worrying prospect. But thankfully the skies eventually cleared with just a small amount of rain persisting through the concert. New merchandise was debuted which others have flagged. I spotted the colourful lithograph, water bottle, black rain jacket and T-shirt. I expect we will see some of these new additions available through the official store soon. I thought there may also be some Smash themed items but that is not the case.
The Auditorium is a stunning venue. It was smaller than I had imagined and it actually felt like quite an intimate concert. The security team were asking everyone to stay seated downstairs, but come Opportunities there was a sudden rush to the barrier and I managed to secure a great spot.
This was the first return of the full Dreamworld show for 2023, so it was brilliant to hear tracks like Single-bilingual, Monkey business and What have I done to deserve this? again. I had actually forgotten some of the setlist. Paninaro was a highlight, with Italian voices shouting for it from early on - it got a great reaction. The visuals of Chris’s coat and glasses from the original video clip worked well.
Neil took a tumble during New York City boy but was back on his feet again quickly, lucky not to have hurt himself too badly. It was enough for him to reference it once the song was over. I’ve not known this happen before; it’s clearly a hazard of the job.

Brilliant, I hadn’t realised they’d played there before.agent doris wrote:Saw the Electric tour here, fabulous venue.

Chris was really giving it some. Talking of Chris; anyone know why he went off during Being Boring? He kept looking to the side, then walked off briefly waving as he did. Neil looked confused in a “where’s he gone?” way.
The concert at the olympia was totally great. Fantastic atmosphere and really beautiful show.psbnyc wrote: Fri 16 Jun 2023, 11:24 am So - who was at the concert in Paris? I love L'Olympia, it's such a great, iconic venue. And I used to live in Paris for many years before moving to New York, and saw them many times in Paris, including during the Performance tour at Le Zénith. Happy memories!
