Saskatoon Concert Discussion

[badobsession81]

Just saw the catcher vid from this show but it didn't have the extra outro bit thats been alluded to in this thread - any ideas where i might be able to see that? Or did it not happen?

cheers,

bob

[gnrjanus]

it wasn't an added outro.. that's just the whole songm or am I wrong.

6,000 fans?

What is the problem? Guns N 'Roses sounds incredible, if not cold people out of their homes, you interested?

it's easy to say that, but put some thought into it. GnR actually played 2 shows in SK (less than 3 hours apart). the entire province of SK only has 1M people. that's less people than a major city in the U.S.

so if you look at it as a % of the population, these 2 shows (and all the shows in canada) were actually very well attended.

you also have to consider the fact that GnR are playing ALOT of shows all across canada. it's the dead of winter up there. and some areas of canada have a really depressed economy right now.

this tour has been a MAJOR success. well attended, good crowds, and incredible shows. in some of the reviews, you can tell they wanted to hate the show and be negative, but they just can't do it. the shows are simply too good.

Why some people always look for the Negative in GUNS N' ROSES?

Maybe they aren't being negative, but they are concerned.

[jarmo]

Concerned about what?

The shows are great, fans love the shows and even journalists are being positive.

Isn't that all that should matter?

The future.

Yeah.

Concerned for what? None of us on here have anything to do with the business end of GN'R as far as I'm aware

[sky dog]

if you go by newspaper reports, the 5 shows have averaged 7500 a night....good, solid crowd with some big shows coming up. The tour is on and is rocking according to all......let the promoter and the band worry about sales.

It's human nature.

I guess I should consider myself "not human" then. I wanted to album, I got the album. I wanted GNR to tour, they're touring. Ever better; they're touring close enough to me so I can see them twice!

On top of that, all reports (including what I've seen myself on YouTube, etc) say the shows are awesome. Having said all that, I can't see myself being concerned over who isn't there.

[MrMojoRa]

There's nothing to be concerned about and there is nothing to be negative about.

3 hours shows. Positive press reviews. Huh?? Did I say positive?? What?? Yeah, fuckin' positive press reviews?!!?

Not that I give a fuck about press reviews, but the tide seems to be turning flowing with this band. A tide that usually flows against it.

They came back after 2002 with a huge 2006 tour. 2002 would have been the end of many bands. Not GN'R! This band will not die.

Here they are again hoppin across the planet in 2010 better than ever.

Exactly there are very few bands that can go into SK and do even close to what GnR did for ticket sales when playing both venues.  Regina has a population of 200 000 people and Stoon has about 220 000.   The Clagary and Edmonton shows and Winnipeg only out drew the Stoon show by a few thousand and they have 4 times the population.  I will say that when it comes to Rock and metal Regina is the city.  Most of the time the bigger bands play 1 show in Stoon and thousands of people travel from Regina to see them.  Frankly I don't give a fuck how many people were at the shows.  The Stoon show was an amazing special show and so was the Regina one.  All in all I got 5 1/2 hrs of live GnR in 2 days.  I'm pretty fucking happy about it.

Wow, that Catcher vid was amazing, nice to see fans dancing and singing that beautiful song, also that sign on the front was nice "Axl is my hero see you tomorrow night"  Sad that this doesn't have better audio quality.

[russkwtx]

NIGHTRAIN FROM LAST NIGHT!!! the guys has a lot more videos! enjoy!!!!

Cool video, not so good on the audio.
Hope a DVD surfaces with audio and video of excellent quality.

[badobsession81]

it wasn't an added outro.. that's just the whole songm or am I wrong.

Jarmo's update said this:

"Catcher was extra long tonight. The band did an extra verse (?) after the song ended. They restarted it with the "na na" part and did it again"

...?

[ppbebe]

the taper must have just stopped recording at there not knowing it was restarting.
