Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I read in another show thread that there was a merch tent that opened outside the show, maybe even a bit early?


Does anyone know if this will be the case for the Seattle show (maybe it's every show, I dunno)?

Any info would help. If they're open early, I'm thinking about sneaking down early, and grabbing my merch and stashing it back at home before the show. Anyway! Stoked!

Anyone one else around here gonna attend? I've got a small group. Meet for a  :beer: if you're down!

-T

The tent outside did open up really early for the shows I went to. That was my exact game plan. Before tailgating I walked over. There was a tent and a trailer selling merchandise.

I'm desperate for a GA ticket to this show. I have a Section A row 5 ticket available to trade with anyone or willing to buy an extra ticket for sale. Thanks in advance for any help! :peace:

I have a buddy going to this show, so if anyone could come up with one of those sheets that have the set time, I would be appreciative.

8:50pm


The Pink Slips: 6:30pm
Alice In Chains: 7:20pm
GN'R: 8:50pm

Jarmo, I think you mean Pink Slips at 7:30pm.  The tickets say the show starts at 7:30pm.  Which means all your times are 1 hour later

By GA, do you mean Pit?

Wow, this is homecoming for Duff and family, with the Pink Slips and all. Looking forward to check this thread out tomorrow morning

Yes, looking for a Pit ticket

The GNR facebook page also referenced a 6:30pm start time tonight.   It's probably because there's two opening bands.   Seattle probably has an 11pm noise curfew like everywhere else.  They probably had to up the start time to fit in the extra band?  If GnR plays for over 2 hours, then there's not enough time for two opening bands if they start at 7:30.

From the facebook page.  Doors at 5:30, starts at 6:30

Doors: 5:30pm

Guns N? Roses add very special guests Alice in Chains and The Pink Slips to the Not In This Lifetime Tour in Seattle!

Duff posted a pic of tonight's lithograph.
Apparently, the coloring is supposed to represent the old Seattle SuperSonics basketball team (the franchise left Seattle in 2008 and moved to become the Oklahoma City Thunder).

Duff McKagan ‏@DuffMcKagan
Litho for tonite! #Sonics

Weather here is just beautiful.  + 25 c in the sun.  Having lunch right now on the docks.    Very pumped for the show.  I won't be video taping anything or posting Picts tonight as I actually want to enjoy the show dance and have fun.   Fed wearing shorts tonight though and just cause a very nice blue Jays shirt hahaha  so if you see a very well tanned in shape perfect judge of sports and music.  It's probably me.  ThaBaconman

Here till Sunday.  Westin

I'm sure tonight will be a very special evening for Duff and his family. I'm very happy for him.

I'm sure it is definitely surreal. Especially after reading the story of GNR's "Hell Tour" to Seattle in Duff's book.

Is there an outside merch booth selling them?

I didnt see them at the outside booth.  :(

Did you try both booths? I thought there were usually two outside? The lithographs sell fast. I wouldn't give up. Try inside the venue too. I was able to get the DC shirt inside the venue.

Alice In Chains just finished.

Just had coffee on the east coast....about to watch entire show!  Another epic show coming!

Almost every retelling of the hell tour story (a tragi-comically doomed 'tour' north from LA culminating in Seattle for a show they didn't get paid for) is that it made the band and cemented their bond and resolve to conquer everything in front of them.

GUNS FIRING!!!!


THANKS TO ALL OF TONIGHT'S PERISCOPERS!!!!   :beer:

I wonder if Axl has locked in to the AC/DC mindset of well oiled, well scripted massive rock shows. I gotta think that has been a huge influence on him which has spilled over in to this tour. At my age and their ages, I think that is a good thing....consistency of performance at the highest level. As The Stones influenced the UYI tour, I think AC/DC has "helped" influence this tour. It is really fuckin awesome to watch.

Yea, I guess. I stopped expecting anything "new" a while back. Every time I hear someone say "I feel this is gonna be a special show" I know they're on their way to be let down lol. Altho I think LA might get something. But that's about it...
We got COMA as a permanent song, do we need ANYTHING ELSE!!????

Catcher in the Rye making another appearance = AWESOME BONUS!!!!!

Just waking up in hotel.   One more night in Seattle.  Love it here

Show was a lot of fun last night.   Great seeing guns live in such a big venue  it was nice seeing and hearing a couple of these songs live for the first time

Bacon, vibe of the crowd? I have to think incredible on a Friday night.

Yes the vibe here all weekend has been great the whole city. Tons of Canadians in town.    The crowd at the show could be described as very happy

Review of the Seattle show:  http://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/music/guns-nroses-scores-at-centurylink-field/

It says 44k people!!! Niceeeeee. Even if tix prices were drop it's still the same. Alot of bands cant sell out 2000 seat theaters/clubs at $30 GA! Man, this is better then I expected this tour to be.. To be honest! Wow. Just fkn wow!!!! Btw-- the number of people is not what I'm excited about.. It's that I still can't believe this is happening! In HS, mid-late 90s, i was basically the only teen wearing GNR shirts. We as hard core fans been thru alot... Wish I had a babysitter/money to go to the LA shows. But oh well. Great show last night...

how were the pink slips?

must have been awesome for duff having his daughter open for him

Don't know if I would call this ? review. More a report with a lot of more og less weird adjectives. ..

Chris Slade was in the audience!

Is it me or the Seattle concert was one of the best so far ?
 perhaps alongside the first Metlife show.

Missed out on the lithograph because the lineup was huge and was making zero progress.  Had to decide between the lithograph or Alice In Chains.  Once AiC started I abandoned the line and went into the show. 

It was a really good show.  They must of sold a lot of last minute tickets because it looked alot fuller than I was expecting (there were oodles of tickets left on TM when I checked the other day).

I just got back into Canada

Seattle durring the months of July and August is just about as beautiful as it can get.     Nothing better than having a pop out in the sun right on the water with a warm breeze comming in.   

The band put on a really solid show.
