GNR Live! Tonight! Rock in Rio links and FAQ's.

"Do I have to sell my soul or sign me life away to watch the show?"

No! You shouldn't have to sign up with anything to watch the performance.

"Links, please!"

Any US links will not be live, so you'll have to stream from good ol' Europe.

"Not available in my area? You what?"

If you are getting this message, the best that I can tell you right now is: keep trying! People that have got the message say that, if you persist in refreshing, you'll get the stream eventualy. 

You will have to refresh indefinitely, but don't give up even if you've done it forty nine times, you should get it eventually.......

"What time are Guns N' Roses (supposed...) to start?"

23:45 local time, which is... 23:45 GMT.

18:45 eastern time.

"Are the new songs going to be cut out of the stream...."

Err... Shut up. We don't know yet, hopefully that's just a horrible rumour.


If you were looking at a big ol' orange screen with waiting for next performance to start, you're on the live feed.

If you were looking at a gang of fools, you're on the live feed.

If you were enjoying (a much fatter looking) Darkness, you're on the live feed.

You should now be standing by.............

Err...

That will do to start with. More to follow, I guess........

Everyone who has problems viewing the show, try these:

Method 1
Use the latest Winamp 5
left click on play->Open URL->: mms://wmslive-eu.stream.aol.com/live/aol/de1_high
Use these german proxys (winamp options):
62.75.210.197:3128
62.96.21.71:8080
212.117.86.166:80

Works fantastic in Full Screen

Method 2
If you can't watch the stream because you aren't living in the a country which AOL supports try this:
Use this proxy: 62.75.210.197:3128
This proxy server is located in germany.
If you don't know how to use a proxy, here's a quick guide for firefox:
go to Tools->Options-> and then something like connection settings-> set to manual proxy configuration and then enter this ip at http-proxy: 62.75.210.197 and this number as port: 3128
Then try watching this live stream:
http://www.aol.de/templates/hs_editor.jsp?sg=pmms_musik_editor_rockinrio&s=group01&templateIdx=1&streamIdx=1

You will have to hit refresh some times, cause this proxy seems to be at high load.
I'm trying to get some more german proxys

Working german Proxys:
