* October 27th, 2006 Estero, FL @ Germain Arena ** LIVE UPDATES **

[LittleFly]

Thanks for the updates Cindy! 

And thanks to Kujo for the updates!  I could never be on that end of things.  My texting skill suck ass.  I'd be standing in the corner staring at the little screen all night

[Robman?]

Oh, I forgot to say thanks!

[Bandita]

Thank you Cindy for posting the updates and of course to Kujo for providing them!

[jazjme]

Thanks for everyone who were kind enough to update, its always cool to sit back and read after work, Kudos! 

[BlueTree'sandGreemGrass]

Great updates! Thanks Cindy.

Also, it's good to see GNR sticking to an awesome setlist.

[Red Sox Fan]

Thanks c......

[jenovahvii]

Yeah the show was incredible and the crowed was really in to it. Much better show than the one in Sunrise!

[Will]

Thanks all for the updates and reviews! Sorry I couldn't post much here lately. It's nice to see we have the same spirit going on that we had during the European Tour.

I hope all of you guys in the US (and Canada) enjoy the shows!! I'm glad to see Chinese Democracy is back, but what happened to Madagascar?

[The Legend]

I don't know, but I SORELY missed it in my two shows.

I so wanted the new guys to kick ass on it. It'll be their November Rain, imo.

Oh well.

The other new songs got great reception. I still think some just don't know what to make of Better. It seems to take until the guitar solo part, and the 'I never wanted you to be so full of anger' part, when people suddenly realize it rocks.

The Blues, I.R.S., Chinese Democracy, all got big positive reactions.

Thanks for the updates guys.


Regarding the updates about opening acts, I think it's fine to say when they started/ended to give others an idea of when to expect GN'R.

But, unlike in the first update thread where people were discussing what Sebastian was wearing and what song they were playing, we can do without those updates in the GN'R section. Unless Axl or somebody else from GN'R decides to join them on stage or if you you see them watching the opening acts etc.

Sorry, I couldn't answer the questions as they were asked. For some reason I didnt rceive any Pms after the show started. Almost 2 hours after the show sitting down for breakfast I got them all at once.

Most has been adressed already but I'll give it another go. The bra was thrown on stage and axl picked it up and walked around the stage with it for a few seconds as if trying it on. I'd love to get a picture of it. I didn't throw the bra but SLC was trying to toss his grannie panties on stage.

Place was nowhere close to being full, I would estimate only 60-70%. That being said however, the crowd participation and feedback was excellent. This was the first of the 3 nights when 90% of the crowd didnt sit down when a new song was performed. I wont say the whole building was singing along with every new track, but most seemed to be familiar with them. The first two nights I received many strange looks and questions of who the hell I was because I was singing along with these songs word for word. Remember folks, 90% of the people going to these shows arent on these message boards. They are the ones that need to be won over and so far through 3 night mission accomplished.

Better sounded awesome last night. This is my favorite song from the demos, but always was lacking live. Not anymore. Last night was a perfect performance of the song.

Thanks Cindy for posting my updates. I would have given more details but my frigging battery was down to one bar when the show started and I wanted to make sure to get the whole show could be posted

[GNRBABY]

The band sounded great last night. They went on early at 11:05 or something, which was great. The security was relaxed and the fans where in good spirits enjoying the show. I had a great time and after November Rain finish I chrged to the front of the stage! ? Richard Fortus had the best solo of the night and the piano Jam with Dizzy was stellar. Axl on the piano before November Rain was cool too. ?All in all a great noight I thought and will agree the BETTER sounded the best it's sounded to me since NY,Sunrise, and Tampa that I saw live also.
