Just got home from the show, I was blown away. Did not expect such a huge setlist, Shackler's at the end was a huge bonus!

Will post a review probably later today as it's 4 am here atm, took around 300 pics and some of them are pretty nice. Also recorded a bunch of videos, from the pit so I think you'll like them.

Cheers!

Okay, so where to start? I was at the venue very early in the morning, took some photos and hung out with some people at the venue and around it. Saw some old friends and met a bunch of new people.

Doors opened at around 19:20h something like that, got inside and went almost front row immediately. Opening acts started at 20:00 and finished around 21:30 and then the waiting started, stage was ready at around 22:10 maybe and I just looked at my phone at the time and saw a tweet from Ron that they are hitting the stage soon so I knew it's gonna start in a few mins.

As the opening riff of CD started the place went nuts, I can now say that song has moved up to #1 on the "my favorite GN'R song of all time" list replacing Nightrain. 
Jungle was awesome, there was lots of wrestling where I was standing so after Jungle Axl told everyone to move back a bit for safety reasons ... ISE was kiler too as was Mr. Brownstone... what impressed me most about Sorry was most of the pople around me were singing and everyone knew the lyrics and stuff... Rocket Queen was like 11 minutes long  , and then Estranged - probably the highlight of the night alongside Shackler's Revenge in the encore. The band was in a great mood, especially Axl. I remember while introducing the band he said something about Frank like "On the drums we have this guy, he's been with us for the past 2 shows" and Frank liked it and laughed his ass off. Also during KOHD Axl commented on how people where throwing stuff on stage (shirts, flags, women underwear, bandanas, posters etc.), I think he liked it. Sweet child was also great, the place was jumping and singing alongside Axl ... I could barely hear him sing with everyone around me screaming ... people really dig that song live. Civil War was epic too ... but what impressed me most was the lenght of the show and the huge setlist. We got like 3 hours and 20 minutes of pure rock n' roll, I loved every second of it and hopefully they come back to Croatia some day. This was the 2nd time in 2 years that they were here, and I think they liked Split a lot. Dizzy said it was one of the most beautiful places they have been to in years, so hopefully they come back again soon. And yeah, that's about it ... there's probably a lot more details that happened which I will probably remember when the dust settles down ... it was a amazing night!!

Probably the best photo I took:

Hot show in beautiful Split.

A lot of young fans in the hot arena last night. Great crowd.

I guess the band won't need to add any shorts to their wardrobe in a while considering the amount of stuff that ended up on stage.

A lot of people must've left the show shirtless!

GREAT photos jarmo, thanks for posting.

And GN'R-4-Ever, I know how you feel... Chinese Democracy is probably my favourite GN'R song of all time because of the awesome intro at shows. And also because of the message behind it, and the awesome artwork and videos on the screens.

thanks jarmo for you work in this tour!!
