Intro rolling in Pittsburgh! @gunsnroses live at Heinz Field!

Hmmm - so not 8 pm and 9:25 set times for every venue?

1 - Its So Easy
2 - Mr Browstone

https://www.periscope.tv/aerogirl34/1rmxPpvYMnExN

said 730 start here so seems like 730 opening act then GUNS 845

They must have an early curfew there I imagine

How the hell are they on stage already?

Duff posted a live video moments before he went onstage...his tech was telling him that venue has 36k people tonight.

Looks like a small crowd for this one

36k for Tuesday night not bad, lets not get into the size of the crowd again!

1 - Its So Easy
2 - Mr Browstone
3 - Chinese
4 - WTTJ
5 - DTJ

This is a similar starting schedule for next weeks Foxboro shows. The Tuesday show is sold out, but the Wednesday show will probably also be in the 35K range... although they are running a ticket special at 4 tickets for $100 for the Wednesday show, so maybe they sell a few more.

Seems like another bad LTE connection night for Persicopes..

Here's another which I swear is not related to me: https://www.periscope.tv/voodooboogaloo/1ynJOPMBbPWxR

From what I just saw, the place is not empty at all. It may seems more like this because there's still sun light.

Amazing performance so far. Gotta love Richard and Slash solos in Rocket Queen. It's one of my favorite songs but I must admit that overall, those last live versions are getting pretty close to the best (1987-ish) ones.

Dont wanna jinx it, but this one seems to be working just great. :)

WOW! 8:45?!?! is that a record for the last 25 years? I remember there was an early start or two somewhere along the way.

gotta keep an eye on things and get in to the Linc early on Thursday. although there are 2 opening acts so 9:15-9:30 is my guess. not sure of any curfews in philly.

Would you like a 10-minute plus Rocket Queen with a loong bridge solo ?
Like the Conspirators were doing.

You got that right!!!  Was planning on 9pm but will shoot for 8:30 just in case!

I kinda liked what I heard on Spotify, I guess it's from the DVD. There's a cool clean guitar solo there. But I like more how it is now.

No big deal, but one of my favorite Youtubers, Mark, from Classic Game Room, just tweeted from the show.

Coma!!!!!!! My favorite!!!!! #GunsNRoses

Adler in tonight?

Didnt see anything. But I assume he would be in just after Better, right?

ps: did you see the other thread with rumored Brazilian dates? :)

Yep...big let down. I think it was only those 2 concerts. Maybe Izzy somewhere...

Don't mind not seeing Adler. Its just for two songs anyways. Wouldn't be a special guest if he actually toured with the band.

Hahaha, I dont have money for that. :P

Links !? ...  :(

Funny how they gonna end the show around the same time it used to begin lol. Axl has barely spoke today... 11:30pm curfew must be true... Foxboro is 11:15 I think...

Big THANK YOU to tonight's periscoper Ty @voodooboogaloo   :beer:

Once again ... Both Axl and Slash were incredible tonight.

Mark Bussler from Classic Game Room was there?  Wish I could have seen him.  He's one of the few local bloggers I'd love to meet.  I missed Adler, but I was so excited to see this new lineup.  I waited since the early 1990s to see Slash, Axl, and Duff play on stage together, and thank god I lived long enough to see it happen.  Keeping fingers crossed we will see more awesome GNR news in the coming months.

Link to a video I took tonight.  Double Talkin' Jive and part of Estranged.

One more video taken from my crappy phone.  Just thought I would share another glimpse of tonight's show.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu3wCni6lVM

I think they started in Japan like 8pm. But supposedly that would be due to local culture and laws.

It would have been cool to see Steven perform two songs at every gig from here out, but I thought that was pretty unlikely, even after the Nashville concert. Even so, I think the chances of Steven performing again on this leg of the tour are way better than Izzy showing up.

I just found a decent video ("November Rain") from last night's gig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44S00A7ae2M

Just want to chime in, in reference the previous shows thread:

All the scopes sounded good again tonight.  Even the ones from further away (though voodooboogaloo's was probably the best!) sounded good.  None of the "muddle" from the previous show!

Yup, 11:15.  Used to be a soft cap of 11:15 (fines) and a hard cap of midnight (pull the plug).  Apparently that changed a few years back.  That's beyond stupid, and really limits the usefulness of the stadium.  Also stupid that Tswift gets a 25 min extension last year, but GnR couldn't get one this year.

The people of Foxboro, which is in the middle of NOWHERE, just floor me.  That stadium brings millions of dollars to a little podunk down, both in terms of business revenue and tax revenue.  And yet, they bitch about EVERYTHING.  They even bitch about Monday Night football games, for the "noise and traffic" and the municipality actually listens to them.  Ughhhh......

I see that argument on paper.  But neither of us live there.

If we did, and had to deal with excessive late night noise, thousands of drunk idiots pissing on your lawn and leaving ther garbage all over, and so forth...we might feel differently.

Even more so if you give no fucks about football.  I happen to love it, but not everyone does.

^ Agree. It may be overwhelming to have huge events every now and then.

Yeah, Mark was really excited to see Coma and Patience there.
Thanks for the videos. Your phone worked just fine there. You do seem to have a weird sense of when starting to record, tho. ;D

Nope.  Sorry.  Then vote with your pocketbook, agree to take on a higher property tax burden, and move.

If you move to a town that supports tourism, you sort of deal with the tourists (aka Orlando) and all the good and bad they bring.  The stadium has been there for-fucking-ever.  It's not like when you bought your house, you didn't know it was there, at this point.

When you live in a town who's lifes blood is basically a stadium....because, honestly, otherwise this is a stop in the middle of the woods...much like Ledyard and the Casino's in CT....you deal with the shit, while reaping the benefits, of that.  It basically IS the town industry. There's 17k resident there. That's it.  The actual attendance at the GnR show will likely MORE THAN DOUBLE the number of people in town that night.  For a pats game, it almost QUADRUPLES it.  

The "get off my lawn" mentality of people who will bitch about the thing that is keeping their property taxes down (they pay a bit less then 2/3 what I pay in a similarly sized, middle of nowhere, town, with one single huge taxpayer (home depot)) and funding their towns infrastructure just floors me.  And it's not a "once in awhile" thing.  The residents complaining ALL THE TIME about anything that goes past 9 PM at the stadium.  I have a friend who lives and works in town...has for about 15 years since he left New Haven.  He says the town meetings usually are about 30% bitch fest about the stadium.  That's just.....seriously?  

Anyway, this is WAY off topic, but....had to vent.

Edit: By the by...the municipality employs people, the day after the events, to do clean up along the most traffic-ed corridor.  Including any detrius found on "people's lawns".  So you might wake up to find garbage on your lawn, but it won't be there long.  And that's ALL funded by the split tax rate (with, basically, the stadium (not on the land the actual stadium is on, to be clear, but through other means and methods), and surrounding businesses, are the primary payer of the higher rate) discrepancy.  So the stadium and those benefitting from it are basically paying for the clean up of your lawn, too.

Apparently the only reason she was granted the extra late curfew was because it was a weekend. If GNR were playing Friday or Saturday they would've gotten the 11:40 curfew.

I am a 30ish minute drive from the Stadium (a few towns over)... The pisser in this whole conversation is that for a large segment of the town, the stadium was there first. Sure there are older residents who bought their homes prior to 1971, but Foxboro is a popular town with younger commuters due to it's placement almost halfway between Boston and Providence. This is a NIMBY argument except they bought in Robert Kraft's back yard...

The extreme concert displeasure though comes from Country Fest and a few random louder rock shows and festivals gone wrong (Like the old WBCN River Rave that was there a few times). A few local girls were killed leaving Country Fest's tailgate (even though they didn't have tickets to the show).

It's mostly businesses around there anyways right??? Been to many games there and thts mostly it. Im coming from North Providence, RI...But I guess I better  be there extra early. GNR PROB start at 8:30...8:45 latest.
As far as the show last night, it was good. Too bad no Steven. It makes those two shows he showed up much special...  They need to get SORRY of their chest tho lol

Around the stadium, proper..pretty much.  There's some residential, though, between the stadium and the major (or not so major) ways to get there and back to various points in CT/MA/RI.

I've been there a BUNCH, for both shows and games.  It can get a little loud and rowdy at times, but I've never actually seen anything destructive occur.  And 5 min in any direction and you're pretty much in the woods.....

I usually go 95-495N... Not much residential. You have that new Casino down the road as well. Pats fans love to complain man... Lol.

Yeah, we go 84 to 90 to 495 coming from CT.

The problem is, post event, a lot of people shoot up 140 (via North St) to get to 95. Thats MOSTLY residential.  It LOOKS longer, but it's a quicker run when there's so much traffic trying to get on 495 because less people use it.  That gets you a straighter shot to Boston and RI

I take 140 to 106 to get in and out of there... If you are in the club seats you have your own exit that leaves the back of the stadium and misses Rt 1 all together. That goes directly into a residential neighborhood (actually it's a straight shot to where Chandler Jones was wandering the streets high on synthetic weed). Also if you cross Rt 1, a large amount of parking is on that other side and is where a significant amount of tailgating happens, that also directly abuts residential neighborhoods. I still think they are being whinny pussies, but they are closer to the stadium than you would think.

this was the best show I've ever seen. I had GA PIT2. Axl sounded great. he commented that we were the loudest so far on the tour for the sing along of KOHD.

Ha Axl says to the crowd "hello Pittsburgh, you bunch of backbone of America motherfuckers!"  :rofl:

It sucks that Steven wasn't there, but apparently he was spotted on a plane back to L.A. after the last show he did.  It's obvious that's why they're not announcing his presence in advance, since he won't be at every show.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJS4LXi-QgA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJS4LXi-QgA)

Despite this, other reports expect him to return for future shows.

What an amazing night in Pittsburgh. Came down from Canada for this one since we couldn't make the Toronto date.  The downtown looks incredible, everyone we met were incredibly friendly, and the band was AMAZING!! This was easily the best concert experience of my entire life.

I'm still in shock at how incredible it was.

I agree 100 percent. everything was just perfect, even the people in town and this is coming from a Clevelander! just wish now I would of drove to Detroit and Cincinnati as well
