Manchester Arena 29th May 2012

[Jezza103]

Just got up now from an amazing night. The band were on fire, like i said in my previous post i am usually the arena's biggest critic for getting the vocals right for lots of artists i have seen there but fair play to them they were crystal clear. the highlights were definately estranged and nightrain for me. but there wasnt a bad performance in there, the band seem to be having a greast time and so did axl, they were joking around and playing pranks on each other all night.
DJ snapped a string during the last part of patience which was quite funny as he just ran off stage.
the only sour note for me was that by the end of the night a fair amount of fans had left and it was down to about 40% filled by PC, which irritated me because if you are going to buy a ticket to watch your favourite band you stay until the house lights come on at the end!

anyway i have some videos which i will post up if i figure out how. sound quality is pretty good.

Was a super show for sure, I'm so happy for all of the fans who got to meet Axl... very cool indeed. 

Tommy is just awesome and on this tour I've noticed even more so, how he comes to the front of the stage and now even to the right side of the stage (our left). He came over a few times, and I shouted "Tommy" and waved at him, and he actually shouted back at me "Whatz up", while rocking out smiling. THAT made my night, as Tommy rarely comes to my side of the stage, and he did it again later and gave me a HUGE smile....absolutely LOVE Tommy, would love to meet the guy. 

One of my favourite parts of the show was how the band was playing DJ up when his guitar muted, during Patience. Tommy was dancing behind him, Axl was laughing and when he put his guitar on the side....Ron actually walked over and sarcasticly checked if the volume knob was just turned down. 

What a show!!!!!!!!!....

DJ broke a string in the patience solo

Another funny moment I remember is when Axl was stood by Tommy. And something must have been happening in the crowd, don't know what it was, maybe a banner or something?. But Axl goes "we'd like to thank our fans, for taking the opportunity to "come out the closet" at our show tonight, like those 2 guys over there". 

Would have loved to have been standing by those guys, with a view to their facial reactions..... bet they was well embarrased.

Ah, great to meet you this morning  

It was worth the wait in the end, especially after that security guy telling us all night that Axl had left in the first car!!!

The show was freakin awsome!!! Probably the best show iv seen them do in the last 10 years!

Axls voice was top notch right from the start!!!

yes mate it was a great moment, great fans to hang with while waiting 
 Axl's voice was outstanding and wasnt he in a great mood outside 

when Axl mentioned 2 guys coming out of the closet i bet it was those 2 guys outside with the extra small lycra shorts
