All I can say is holy fuckin shit!!! Im just gonna rattle off random thoughts pertaining to my experience last night.
If you havent seen this band live yet and all you do is sit home on the computer and bitch and moan about set lists and solos, YOU KNOW NOTHING.
If you judge this band by the bootlegs, even the pro shot, YOU KNOW NOTHING.
YOU NEED TO BE THERE TO GET IT.
The solos and jazz interludes make everything flow smoothly, NOBODY complained.
All three guitarist blew me away. All three are just as good as Slash.
Axl can pierce your eardrum when he goes to the top of his range.
As a band they are very tight and powerful. They play the old songs to perfection with a stylistic twist.
IRS is so good live. Its so heavy and dramatic, people didnt know it and they were really into it.
Sometimes Axl has a hard time projecting his voice over the music, either that or there was something wrong with his mic. Either way, that was probably only 15% of the time. The other 85% was kick ass.
When Axl sang "freed of all the chains we held together" It was one of the most powerful moments in rock history.
Every song had those moments.
This was the best concert I have ever been to in my life. Better than HOB 01-01-01.
Axl has still fuckin got it.
