No.

Some of the other band members & other people involved had said before that gradual setlist changes were going to be made after the warm-up shows.

[Ines_rocks!]

can?t see the setlist anywhere... anyone?

Fuck yeah, lucky Greensboro!!!!  A mf-in 20 song setlist.  H-U-G-E

Mads and Queen played for the first time during this leg.  And in the same show.

AGAIN, CD played to open the encore!!!

You're Crazy played..........holy shit !!!!!!!!

My review, with setlists for GnR and Papa Roach

doesn't look to me like a "demoralized" set list.   good for them for putting on a full show, despite that the crowd might have been small (although I haven't read any figures on how many were there).

Nah the gradual setlist changes were to include new songs.  Looks to me like they were mixing it up as a direct response to the bitching and moaning they claimed to not give a fuck about.  They dissed the people "sitting behind their keyboards" to save face and then realized we were right.

Any band cares to a degree what people say of there shows. It works both ways.
One thing that is true of any band and tour is that it each tour should not be exactly identical. GNR have been playing pretty much the same set since the first Vegas show, minus or add a song or two. However the setlist works well.
Your Crazy is a great surpise. I hope when I see them in Everett and Portland they do Chinese, Mada, Better, IRS and Yesterdays.
Glad the shows are going great.

Solid, objective review. Thanks for the link.

So it looks like this was one of the best shows thus far in the tour by all accounts!

Great! Things can only get better!!

[jbenzz]

I've got a somewhat random question.. I don't really want to look up the info cause I don't know the US that well.

When does the 2006 tour start playing the same areas as the 2002 tour?

Maybe they played an 02 setlist for the places that haven't seen gnr in 13 years and are moving towards different songs for the places that have seen them recently.

Don't know about that but as we saw it doesn't take that much more to make pretty much everyone happy. They could only gain by doing it more often.

[gandra]

great reviews,but can somebody tell how many people were there?

Let Axl and the promoters worry about ticket sales.....these places aren't close to selling out. I would say he is averaging less than the 8600 averaged on the 2002 tour-so far. However, the band is playing the shows and spreading the word. Good enough for now.

Not only playing the shows, but actually ENJOYING themselves.  The excitement is so much greater this time then it was in 2002.  My opinion is that Axl actually wants to be on tour this time, as opposed to then

[madagas]

I agree. He can't bail on this one-needs to play ALL the shows and complete the tour-no matter how ticket sales go. You have to remember, every show he completes will bring in new fans who will spread the word. Gotta start this thing from the ground up.

[gnrrock]

Just waking up from the show last night.  Unreal...  Will write a review this weekend.  But to sum up what I saw: the show was great.  I do not know how I made it through Papa Roach but I did.  I thought the fights last night were more entertaining than Papa Roach.  Enough music bashing (I gues they were ok for what they play).  The best last night to me was "Madagascar" and "Nighttrain".  And Robin Finck was unbelieveable...   

[Randy Jesus]

The new songs will catch on - a lot of the people at the shows didn't even know that there was new songs... So if they got a good response now, imagine how the response will be when the whole world heres the music. I would imagine some of the fans were confused by hearing new music...

and remember jarmo would rationalize a 5 hour wait as well.

If there was a reason for the five hour wait and I knew it, I would post it.

But you wouldn't understand.....



/jarmo

Maybe I wouldn't understand, who knows.  But I am sure you could rationalize that the reason is not a rationalization. I think I would grasp that however.

That's some hot double-speak right there. You really are living up to your moniker nicely.

I'll take that as a compliment, regardless of intention.
