Opening night for Dead and Company.  Sold out show in NC.  I'll pop up a link if I find one.  If I lose it and you want another one, let me know.  Green Day is probably playing if you prefer them for an opener, just search them on facebook.

at what time is the show?

Doors opened an hour ago.

Well fuck!  First song was free and then it's $30 for the professional show.  They had 5.5K viewers.  That's a lot at $30 a head.  Going to pass tonight in favor of GNR but I'll catch a show later in the week.  Had to laugh, they opened with Touch of Grey, nice to see they all survived.  Second song and now you have to pay, Shakedown Street.  Love this band but you're going to pay.  Includes a second channel they add to Sirius, bet that's a first for one band to have two channels.

Is there an opening band? :beer:

Thank you :beer:

It's helpful to have everybody who streamed posted so you can check them out during the show if a live stream isn't showing up.  I think I'm getting good at this.  :D

Thanks! How did you find these links? Is that FB livestream Maps still there? I can’t find it anymore.

Facebook live, search, under filters click on live, click on most recent and today.  Helps if you do a couple of spellings of Guns N Roses and GNR.

Got it! Thank you  :beer:

Dizzy is from the area.  He probably has lots of family there tonight.

I've found people with Hispanic names stream the longest.

Good performance Better, Axl did the part "I never wanted you to be so full of anger" singing many parts in the original key

Did Axl dedicate Absurd to Jarmo?  :D
Or did i misheard?

Sounded like it. Said his first show was 30 years ago and it had also been 30 years since they released original material.

Yep. Axl also mentioned his name..”This next song we’ll gone dedicate to our good friend Järmo..”

Encore: Patience, Paradise City

Congrats Jarmo! That must’ve been super surreal.

That's mad he must be thought very highly of by Axl to get a shout out on stage  :peace:

That's wild.

Big ups, Jarmo!

That's awesome Jarmo, kudos to you :beer:

Not the first time either, if I remember correctly.

Jarmo is Almost Famous! They need to make a movie about him!  :peace:

Probably the best show of the tour so far, and what a surreal one it turned out to be.  :hihi:

Good observation, Alex.

Ali

That is so awesome!!!!!! 

I think it's great 👍

I bet 30 years ago(when you went to your first GIG)you could never have imagined that something like that could happen. That was pretty amazing, by the way, your whole journey with the band is something worthy of a movie, as mentioned above..Or at least a book! I believe it would be an interesting read.   :smoking:

Jarmo's moment!

Correct. I didn't think I'd be here in 2021, on tour, to witness a show 30 years after my first one.
Even in 2006 when I saw GN'R for the second time, did I imagine that I'd on tour with them one day....






/jarmo

That pretty insane and cool when you think about it.

You have been working for them for a while now, something like since 2009?  How did that come about, and how freaked out were you when they contacted you? ;D

Everything happened quite naturally....

Went to a bunch of shows in 2006 in Europe and North America. Went to Japan in 2007 and then ended up on tour later...






/jarmo

You're a lucky guy!

Totally Totally Fucking AWESOME n' Totally WELL DESERVED!!! :headbanger:
You have & continue to do so much for the fanbase to enhance our GNR experience and it is very much appreciated.  :beer:



P.S. Facebook Live changed their streaming search engine, PLEASE CONTINUE TO SEND SETLIST UPDATES!!!  :P

P.P.S. Totally appreciate all the amazing tour pics you share, too.   8)

That’s fascinating man!!! Look I don't want to make this an interview  :hihi: but... Just one question: After all these years of touring with them, is there still that “old fan” over there or has your admiration for the band changed to another level or a new kind of?

Well, let me put it this way. I get to see my favorite band for free at work.... It's pretty mind blowing.





/jarmo

Indeed! And I hope we can read all the details about it in your book.  :smoking:

That's awesome man. I watched the video. 30 years since you attended their first show and Axl dedicates the song to you.  I'm sure you must've dropped your camera when you heard your name in front of 30,000 + people.

Just another day at the office ;)

More like "I can't believe he just said that"....  :hihi:
