They played Patience in Cincy but didn't play Don't Cry. I actually like Don't Cry more but I'm not complaining. Great show.

Caught them at the Cincy show with some friends I grew up with and had an unbelievable time. I've seen them a handful of times (pre and post Slash era) and this is the best and tightest I've seen them. Adler coming out was so unexpected. It was cool seeing that big smile from behind the kit after all of these years. He threw his drumstick out after his 2 song cameo and it landed right next to my foot. Missed out on getting it from the mob of people scrambling for it. We were right by the stage in the pit. I concur with others saying to go see them on this tour. One of - if not the best show I've seen.

Going to MetLife stadium to see them tonight. First time in my life seeing Axl and Slash together on stage. I grew up playing rock guitar in the era, and Slash was my real life guitar hero. I have never seen him live before. Today is his birthday.
Seats in Row 7.
i am so, so stoked.

We did left side 7th row for almost $600 a pop. I didn't realize Slash played on the right side until after we walked in and I saw the setup. Just never even ocurred to me to consider that. I'd have paid more to be on his side and in the first row. Next time...Ministry of Pain said:

Agreed. And the tailgating ended up being amazing. As the sun was setting and the cool breeze picked up it was glorious out there. Awesome day all around.

Ticketmaster 13th row, Floor right center, not right on aisle but close. $250 per ticket, seems rather reasonable all things considered.
You can buy GA Pit for $400...I'm sure it's standing room only, not planning on sitting much but...during the slow songs it's nice to park the tush for a minute.

When I saw them in 93 they did all kinds of Lies. They even unplugged and rolled out a couch. I am slightly curious what the circus would look like now.

They did Patience in our encore. I thought it sucked. It's got drums and Slash plays his Les Paul. Just spoils what that song is supposed to be. But I get that the crowd loved it anyway, and that's why they do it.

It was PERFECT back in the day. I wondered if they were lip syncing it sounded so perfect.

Went to the Saturday giants stadium show completely last minute, spur of the moment. I had absolutely zero faith or expectations...it was a hot as hell day but my friends convinced me to come to their tailgate at 8pm. Pregame, they go in, I gotta find a ticket. Strangely couldn't find any scalpers. This show is sold out and had been a hot ticket but hearing appetite in the lot got me charged up. I figured let me take a chance and go to the box office. Guy asks me where I want to sit. Now I know they had pit packages for like 600 he tells me he has a seat upstairs for 100. But that's REALLY Prohibatively far at the new giants stadium. I ask him what else, he tells me for 130 I can be in the lower level. I jump on it and head in.
Now, talking the folks around me, they all bought day of, so it must have been a ticket released that was being held for sight lines. It was basically across the end zone, right between the uprights. Absolutely perfect view.
As for the show, they were blow away fantastic. Axl sounded almost "too" good so it wouldn't surprised me if he was supported with some sweetening but they were just fantastic. The band is tight, duff is a great quarterback, and slash just, let's say this, that guitar was meant to fill stadiums. Loved the set, love Chinese democracy the track but could have done without the other tracks. I actually like coma but the performance petered.
Crowd was definitley 35 plus on the whole and it seemed to run out of gas 2 hours in after sweet child. They didn't go on until after 10 so after a day of drinking the audience near me was shot and there was almost an hour to go. But they kept the show energy high.
Paradise city under a cascade of fireworks... Just awesome.
Great show, highly recommend. If they were still in the north east I would road trip to see more shows. As it is I'd love to go to LA in the fall.
Hope they're on good terms and do it again, because they're onto something special and literally sound better than ever

I'm going to see them in the Superdome tomorrow. I love reading this thread, getting me fired up. Monday morning is going to be as close to death as it gets for me.

As good as I had hoped, which I was afraid was unrealistic.
We had the same set list minus Patience...covers of Godfather theme, Wish you Were Here, etc. I thought Slash and Duff were really on...Axl cracked a little here and there but hit it hard when he needed to. I forgot how much I liked Estranged, which was great live with Axl on piano.
The perfect concert for being ####-faced! Hope those rumors of more cities next year, including Tampa are true.

Just back to the hotel after Houston. Wow. They were amazing. Slash is a much better guitar player than the last time I saw him.
- piano went out of tune during November rain. Axl stopped the song and the whole crowd wondered if he would throw a fit. Said "i don't mind if there are gremlins and ghosts in there (the piano) but they should learn to play the song". Then finished.
- best part was the duel guitar solo between slash and fortis on "wish you were here". Was amazing, and I hate the guitar solo break normally.
- same set list as Dallas but they played "don't cry" instead of patience, "out to get me" instead of "my Michelle" and "double talking jive" instead of "dead horse"
went about 2:20. Worth every penny. Planning a trip to see them again. Go if you can. 75,000 people never sat down

unbelievable, I somehow talked my way down to the front row of the field. I wish I had maybe 3 less drinks in me to have enjoyed the show a little bit more
How was last night's show??
but damn did the sound amazing from what I remember

I went last night at Dodgers Stadium in LA. My notes...
- I enjoyed Houston more, but probably because I had better seats (floor, straight away about 40 rows back) compared to last night (right side, Loge, couldn't see the screen behind the drummer.
- The weather in LA last night could not have been better for an outdoor show. But they went on at 8:30 which shocked the heck out of me. The first song started before we made it to our seats. In houston they didn't go on until 9:45.
- Setlist was mostly the same as Houston except they brought Steven ADler out and he banged the drums for Out ta Get Me and My Michelle (they didn't play the latter in Houston).
- Duff did a Stooges cover instead of Attitude
- Wish you were here solo was shorter in LA. That was my favorite part of the Houston show.
- Played Sorry instead of Catcher in the Rye to start the encore.
- Don't Cry last night. I looked and they did Patience instead on Thursday.
- The place went bat#### crazy for Jungle and Sweet Child. Like, I thought the stadium level we were on was going to collapse down on to the field it was shaking so much.
After two shows I'm still startled at how great Slash (and Richard Fortis, to be fair) are on guitar. So much of that is missing from rock music these days. I can't think of anyone currently doing rock n roll that can hang with those guys on guitar.

This was too easy for them, has to be another album release and tour.

It's their job. Being "awesome rock band people love" is a job. Parts of my job are boring to me but thrill other people. Same for most people. That's what I really appreciated with the shows I saw - no attitudes and bull#### like they used to do. They were committed to performing the music really really well.
I believe San Diego is the last stop on this leg then they go to South America.
