Sat right next to the stage, sixth row. Axl sounded perfect from start to finish, and DJ stood out as an incredible showman who really knows how to work a crowd. The crowd reacted MUCH better to the newer material this time around, especially Better.

The entire show was perfect, and dare I say, DVD/Blu-Ray worthy. 3 hours of non-stop rock. Glad to see both the Chicago Tribune and SunTimes recognized this, both gave glowing reviews.

For those who have tickets to the rest of the shows...Get ready!

one of the best show's i have ever been to! i also hit that Tommy in store at 4. Tommy is a mega mega cool guy, and was drinking whiskey when he was there. I was right upfront for tommy's set. afterwords i talked to his wife for a bit who is mega mega cool as well.

It's worth nothing that the two big Chicago papers have not been the kindest to Axl, the new band, or Chinese Democracy over the years.  It's quite an accomplishment and a testament to the band that both of them gave good reviews.

Agreed.  Aside from the late starts, which should be expected, there is seriously nothing to criticize about a three hour show with the kind of energy and talent that Axl and the band put forth last night.

I can't wait to see what kind of album they put together in 2012.

i have never really paid this song much attention but that sounded pretty cool

Holy Shit,
Chicago show was fucking mind blowing. They owned the stage and Axl was singing in key all night. I haven't seen Axl this loose and bluesy since the Ritz shows. The band was red hot. In all the new incarnations, I have never seen Gnr so tight, comfortable, and spot on. They are gelling and in sync at an unprecedented level. They were friends having a good time playing rock n roll. The mainstream rock world needs to see this shit. Axl is confident and smiling; he seems to have back his swagger and funky jive. He is hitting his high notes and low notes effortlessly and singing with all the rasp and screech, beautiful. Just fucking beautiful. His dancing and moves are natural and organic, you can tell he feels it again and finally has the band he's desired since the others quit.
I can't wait to hear new music from this current line up. The current chemistry they have right now would be explosive in the studio.
Axl makes all other bands and singers seem soulless, stiff, plain, mediocre, and boring. Once I get a dose of Gnr it is hard to go back to listening to my other favorite bands. They just leave me wanting.

Seriously, has he ever sounded better? Has there ever been a hard rock singer with more soul than Axl? Axl needs to codify this rock perfection. He is in a position to silence all critics, haters, and skeptics. He could release some HD footage/DVDs and a hit rock single and steam roll over all the mediocre rock in the last 20 years.

That was Beta's boy or nephew or something. Either way it's a part of the Beta clan.

But...I am looking for the rest of us that were hanging around after everything. We ended up with a cool suprise & I'd like to get some pictures I took of that off to y'all. This would have been after the aftershow.

[lagr08]

Sure hate to whine after the epic KC show, but sure wish we'd got some Shackler's.  Oh well, maybe next time....come on next time, hurry the hell up!
