I saw them three times, Download, Sheffield and Manchester. For atmosphere Manchester was great, Axl really seemed to enjoy the response he got and was in fine spirits. Download was pretty f'n awesome as well (they played rocket queen which is always a treat!) and i had the best view in the house on the opening night in sheffield, hanging on to the barrier centre stage!!! Which did you guys enjoy most....

well, i have a feeling that i bang on about this too much, however...the acoustic show really rocked
but nothing compares to hammersmith, amazing.
its all down to personal experiences though. i mean, out of the 4 shows i saw i think they played best at download, but that was fucked obv. and my memory is kinda tarnished due to the cunts in the crowd.

I only got to go to Download in the end, I was hoping to go to Manchester and Birmingham too but those dates fell very nicely into the two weeks that I was on a pre-booked non-refundable deposit holiday
, They were amazing at Download, but I just hope the band realises there were many of us there who thought they were fucking awesome, not all of us were being dick heads like most of the crowd.

Wembley Arena on 29th July. Amazing... Axl was in a good mood throughout, laughing and joking. Great setlist, including 3 incredible, never-played-since covers of Sway, Sailing and Back In The USSR. And best of all, he didn't collapse so the show didn't end with that preening poser Sebby Bach mutilating Paradise City.

Well the Glasgow show I was at seems to be a hidden gem, as little of the show in terms of video or audio exists as yet. It was simply amazing, the Scots always going wild for bands, usually more so than down south (from my experience going to gigs for other bands in London and Newcastle). That atmosphere plus the band being well on-form made it a smashing experience. But I don't think GN'R had a bad show on the Euro tour did they?

That's damn true! The crowd and the fact we got Madagascar in the encore made it a very special night.
I couldn't just pick one though. Hammersmith was my first Guns show, and in such a perfect venue. But Download was open air and had the best set list!

Well... the performance as Donington was amazing, but the overall show was mired by so many people who were there to cause shit. ?Booing Tommy, chanting for Slash, screaming insults at Axl and whatnot.
