San Francisco warm-up

[jarmo]

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.

The warm up shows are special. Just don't see them as warm up shows, see them as an opportunity to see this band play a small venue.

With the pre-sales, a lot of fans got to see the band at these small venues. Which is very cool.

After seeing the hammerstein shows I don't think i'll ever go out of my way to see gnr in an arena again. Unless they are playing in whatever city I happen to be living in at the time I will never fly anywhere to see them in an arena.... but small clubs (2000-4000) now thats a totally different story.

Wow.  This is great. 

I never thought I'd have the opportunity to see them play live, and now I get to see them play close to me in a small venue. 

(I was so scared when I missed the presale and ticketmaster didn't have any tickets right at 10:00am sunday)


Awesome.


I didn't think it'd be a "warm-up" because of the European tour, but whatever the reason I won't complain.  Some fans get lucky off of Axl's perfectionist personality I presume.

Agreed. After Hammerstein, going back to the Palace here in Detroit is gonna seem like I'm a football field away from them!
