The show is over. It was awesome, even with some sound problems and Axl's throat not 100%.

It sounded pretty awesome from the live stream.  Granted, not much of the concert was streamed but from what I did hear it all sounded pretty good to me.

[GypsySoul]

That was absolutely AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!

Thanks to those who provided the live streaming!!! 
... even though half the time I couldn't figure out how to get it to work

The show was absolutely fantastic. I'm very tired so this will be short and poorly structured:

- The band that played before Bach (Forgotten Boys) was very good, I'll check them out for sure.

- Bach was very good, I'm amazed at how much energy that dude has.

- Some idiots were very impatient, it wasn't even 9:00 and people were already angry at the opening bands.

- Speaking of impatient idiots, apparently someone decided to throw a bottle of something to "punish" Axl for the delay. I hope that idiot got kicked the fuck out of there.
I was so fucking glad and into it when they started, CD as an opener is fantastic (with Ashba's shadow playing the opening lines... just great). I was kind of freaked out when Axl stopped the show, me and my brother just stared at each other.

- I wasn't DJ Ashba's biggest fan before this show, but he absolutely owned it. He's got an incredible stage presence, absolutely fantastic.

- Ashba's guitar didn't work on his solo, he had to get a new one. It was specially funny seeing that after his usual "check me out" routine. 

- Fortus always looks super into it, but I swear he looked even more into it tonight. I think he was having a good time.

- Dizzy's hilarious without saying a word.

- Bumblefoot and Tommy were great as always, but honestly they didn't get a lot of attention on the screen. 

- Frank Ferrer... no comment.

- Despite the bump at the start Axl seemed to be in a very good mood. He didn't speak much but he joked about the idiots shouting "fuck axl" by starting a Fuck Axl chant himself. At the encore he was practically the entire time picking up banners and gifts people would throw at the stage and showing them. Only one I got to read that I can remember was "Don't worry mom, Axl is watching me tonight".

- You couldn't hear Axl at all at parts, there sound problems througout the show. That was frustrating. His voice was ok, and specially great in This I Love, Jungle and (as usual) Nightrain. With the sound problems and the loud audience you could barely hear a word in SOCOM for example. YCBM and NR were also big hits.

- Early in the show Axl called in a "translator" when he asked the crowd to take a step back. It seemed he was more interested in getting closer to that translator though. 

All in all fantastic night. I hope to see them again soon.

Edit: enough edits, I gotta get some sleep! F1 starts in 4 hours.

How cool is the fuckin internet, you here so much detail about each show and then get to watch it on Youtube just a few hours later.

What a prick that guy was for throwing a bottle, thought that Axl dealt with him really well, and how many fuckin people where there!

Without doubt the best band in the fuckin world, hope they stay on the road for a long long time, promote this record until it gets the recognition it deserves.

Love all the guys but Ashba is the man, this band can rule the world.

Right its Mothers Day here in the UK so I better get on with my Chilli Con Carne!

Peace xx

[gnrjanus]

That whole stop thing was f*cking cool and getting right back into the song
should do it more offen! gives a big boost to the crowd!

[Il?vatar]

I cant understand people who go to a concert and throw shit at the stage, its such a moronic and brainless act 

[NiGhTrAiN?]

[bolton]

[Halo69]

I fucking loved the Chinese Democracy Video!! Axl sounded so great!!!!  I want them to come here ! Portugal!

[Voodoochild]

Hale review is pretty much accurate. It was an amazing shiw, but the mix wasnt so great.

I'm fucking tired, havent sleep more than 4 hours. Gonna get the flight to Rio.
