So after reading "The tour, which started May 25th in Madrid, Spain, played to 700,000 plus people over 32 shows in 18 countries, making it one of the biggest tours of the year on the continent and in the UK." about Europe...

Why is GNR going to play at the Warfield?  I read online that it only has 2000 person capacity.

Why play to only few thousand?

Because it's a really cool thing to see this band in a small venue.

You'll have plenty of chances to see them in an arena, but it's something else to see them play a club/theatre.

Yep. it's just a warmup. Plus, lots of fans like the small club vibe anyway.

Well, the Warfield is pretty legendary, so maybe they just want to play it for the hell of it. And it makes sense to treat the small shows as a warm-up.

Nine Inch Nails kicked off their warmup tour there last year.  It's my favorite venue in San Francisco.  I do feel for people who can't get in to this show since there aren't any other bay area shows scheduled (yet) but I think if you look in the right places, plenty of face value tickets can be found.

I think it's interesting that Axl referred to the San Fran dates as a 'warm up' when they are just coming off of a huge European tour. Makes you wonder...why would they NEED to warm up after only a month off.

With more and more California dates announced, do you think this U.S. tour will be just a leg off the tour started over in Europe (technically N.Y., but you know what I mean) and will basically be the same, setlist-wise?

- OR -

Do you think this U.S. tour will be the beginning of a proper Chinese Democracy tour and these San Fran 'warm ups' are being used to introduce more new music to the set and possibly a different stage setup?

I'd like to believe the latter, but I don't see the full blown Chinese Democracy tour being launched without 'official announcements', a single release and/or a release date for the album. Still, the idea that they are incorporating a 'warm up' really makes me think that more new songs will be introduced. Perhaps this next U.S. tour will be more like the 'Get in the Ring' tour and will be followed next year by a full blown and official CD tour.

I would think its to break out some different, not necessarily new, songs and get used to playing them live. However I stopped trying to figure out what was going on with this band along time ago.

take small venue every time over large arena. ok, in fact once you seem them in small venue like that it's hard to get excited about an arena show. too impersonal

Maybe this whole "new" warm-up thing with Vegas and S.F. is because they're going to be add new/old/different songs.

Too many warmups lol. Enough is enough, get on with the full blown tour.

Although I will say this, I've never seen GNR at an arena, I've only seen them at the warmup gigs at hammerstein ballroom, but I doubt anything will compare to being up against the baracade and singing face to face with Axl and playing Ron Thal's guitar at the end of Paradise City. So in that respect, the warm up shows are quite intimate and a great place for hardcore GNR fans who don't have to compete with the beggars and hangers on.
