Madrid, Spain- May 25th Show

[mlewis]

Anyone know, just generally, why they play so much at a soundcheck? I would have thought a couple of songs would be enough to figure out the acoustics and levels. Is it for rehearsal purposes too?

1) Probably a bit of it IS rehersal.

2) They're outdoors for the first time in awhile....might take 'em a bit to get the sound just right.

3) Different songs bring different acoustic elements to light, and might require slight tweeks to the board.

4) They just traveled quite a ways and might be "stretching their legs", so to speak.

I think it's some sort of rehearsal as well, get an idea of just how big the stage is. Maybe they need to work on the lights as well.

Fifteen years ago, Axl would not have been at this soundcheck. He would have been between some hookers legs.
