I tweaked the sound a little (sound volume, equalizer): http://gnrfrance.free.fr/audio/20070714-chiba-dont-cry.mp3

WoW! Not to beat a dead horse, but dont cry was truly amazing!  You could definitely hear the emotion in Axl's voice  it sounded very cathartic.  I hope that it is foreshadowing of Axl's desire to let his fans embrace the old missed tracks along with dare I say the new album.

I removed the excess recording noise... even more amazing... more natural...

I thought I would never hear him sing that again.  One of my favorite songs...it sounded great.

You guys at the show were very lucky.

Holy shit!

What a treat!

First Nice Boys, now this!!!!?

I love how it starts off with just BBF and Axl and then the rest of the band come on board slowly (by the sounds of it).. so unrehearsed and rock n' roll!!!

What a night! What a surprise!

Who saw that one coming?


The crowd really loved every second of the show.

People were being pulled out of the crowd all the time and at one point, Axl had to ask them to take a step back.

Robin went down to the floor during Out Ta Get Me and ended up playing in the pit that goes towards the mixing desk.




The band has obviously gotten tighter since last time I saw them. It's almost scary!

axl's voice on don't cry was amazing and that was after he did a complete show

I can't imagine how great his voice sounded earlier in the show     

[suntorytime]

thanks for the reviews and clips!

Sorry for doubting you, suntorytime.?

The check is in the mail to buy that rainbow bridge from you.?

No prob you were kinda like just pulling my leg.  Still it's nice of you saying so. good manners.

I checked my mail box to find no check from you...

Lots of energy in the air.

Just read that the storms were quite fierce and that 3 people died.

that's sad. ?in the south part of japan.
Here is boiling hot and all quiet now...

This is what happens when people buy Nokia and Apple products...

Batteries die and chaos is upon us...

cellular < keitai ?
I'm afraid the mobile phone world is very advanced in japan. Batteries die and a quick charger from any conbini like seven eleven will do. also You can use the net via the phone.

I don't understand why people are bashed for complaining about the setlist.

There are two whole albums they aren't even using much material off of and I wish they'd throw in some illusion stuff.


I am a GNR Illusion fan. I became a huge fan with the UYI's, not AFD and I am a bigger fan of the UYI GNR and I'd be so excited I'd pass out to hear Civil War, Estranged, Coma.......... Instead of doing all the individual solos, they could do Double talkin Jive and incorporate the band's solos into that song or something.


I would love some more UYI material in the setlist.

There we go, some negativity.  I asked for it though, so I'll let it slide.  I hear what you're saying.  I really began to love GNR at their UYI days too.  I'd love to hear "Dead Horse", "Breakdown", etc.  But you gotta understand with each of those songs they play people would be clamoring for NEW music.  They can't possibly please EVERYONE with the setlist.  But just within the past year they've given us 3 unexpected gems in "Down On The Farm", "Nice Boys", and "Don't Cry".  It may not be much, but it's a start.  IF they're serious about putting the album out I can forgive them for not playing the Illusions tracks.  But if it's never gonna see the light of day then they might as well blow the lid off the place.  But, as far as we know, Chinese Democracy is still supposed to come out,,,,,,, someday.  So I'll hold off on the criticism for now.

[stolat]

I can't stop singing Don't Cry in my head!!!

[gnr2006]

Me neither!

Axl sounds wonderful

What a pleasant surprise!

[wells]

big boys 'don't cry' ... I am not a big boy ... Axl sounds great, so does Ron - beautiful solo

[estranged.1098]

Thank you Axl. Thank you Guns N' Roses.
