I love Starlight!

I'll be posting some video from this soon!

Civil War is one of the greatest songs ever.. still gives me goosebumps when i hear this.

[Naupis]

Songs are sounding much better the more they are playing them, particularly Myles vocals. At least to me they are far ahead of the Roxy show from April. That is to be expected I guess though.

[Smoking Guns]

Ghost sounds pretty cool live!

This is a pretty blistering version of Communication Breakdown. Slash tears through the solo, and Myles does a huge Plant style wail towards the end that is pretty awesome.

Myles Kennedy has the most annoying "singing voice" I have ever heard. When he hits high notes I literally cringe at how awful he sounds. The thought actually crossed my mind not to go to Slash's Sydney show as I don't know if I can stand to sit through 2 hours of Myle's annoying and whiney nothing voice. Very sad to hear him butcher classics.

Here was the review from the show by the local media. We had no thread so I had posted it elsewhere.

Philidelphia Inquirer

Slash recaptures glory days at Borgata

By Sam Adams

For The Inquirer
The star of the show didn't sing a note at the Borgata's Music Box on Saturday night, and you could barely see his face beneath his trademark top hat. But Slash did all the talking he needed to with his guitar, treating the sold-out crowd to 90 minutes of furious shredding and precisely carved riffs that more than compensated for his taciturn nature.

In the years since the catastrophic implosion of Guns N' Roses, Slash has balanced copious session work with a handful of steadier endeavors, from former bands Snakepit to Velvet Revolver, which reunited him with many of his G N' R colleagues (minus volatile singer Axl Rose). But in strict terms, last month's Slash is his first solo record, a star-studded affair whose guest vocalists range from Ozzy Osbourne to the Black Eyed Peas' Fergie.

Touring with such a retinue being somewhat impractical, Slash filled the frontman slot with Alter Bridge singer Myles Kennedy, who, as one concertgoer explained to his date, is "the guy who's in Creed when it's not Scott Stapp." A high-range belter with a heavy-metal wail, Kennedy held the stage's center without pulling the focus off the show's real star, whose solos sent fists flying into the air.

The most vocal reaction was saved for the dips into Slash's back catalog, with the enthusiasm for Velvet Revolver's "Slither" nearly equaling the fervor that greeted each Guns N' Roses classic. Kennedy ably aped Rose's feral yowl and even some of his stage moves, while Slash echoed the solos on "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child o' Mine" almost note for note. If the overly faithful performance didn't breathe new life into the old songs, it upheld the band's formidable legacy with great fervor, and likely provided something closer to the experience of a vintage G N' R show than anything turned out by Rose and his rotating cast of session musicians.

As satisfying as the older songs were, they cast a shadow over the new material, particularly when time came for Slash to step out front. The old solos were melodic and dextrous, well-constructed work-throughs of musical ideas, while too many of the new songs were given over to glorified noodling. Although his fleet-fingered fretboard runs got the crowd riled, Slash was most exhilarating as a supporting player, chopping at rhythmic riffs with dazzling precision. Even with his name at the top of the bill, Slash did his best work just outside the spotlight.

why don't you skip the show so someone who wants to go and enjoy the show will be able to purchase the ticket

and if your gonna base your assessment of myles vocal skills based on shitty hand hell camcorder's audio recordings posted on the web vs. actually being at the venue and hearing the full PA system, well, I'd equate that to listening to a song on a laptop w the shitty house speakers vs. listening to a component stereo system w 5 speakers...........but go ahead, don't go

Here is a real high quality version of Starlight.

It really is a beautiful song live and comes off really well, and Myles put a hell of a vocal on it. Probably the best of any of the singers he has worked with since he left Guns.

I really hope they make some more music together in the future as I think both of their songs from the Slash album are awesome, and his voice really compliments Slash's guitar well.

Make that a minority of two, just never been a fan of Kennedy's voice.

Much more suited for Steel Dragon....
