Recife, April 15, 2014 - Crowd asks in chorus: So Fine! So Fine!

I wonder why this wasn't played, the fans wanted it.  And they're not haters?

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

I dont understand it either. Why not take that chance if you have the opportunity?

[GypsySoul]

Thanks Jarmo for all the updates and pics throughout the tour. 

Safe travels.

I obviously have no idea how/why the songs are picked to play at each show but I can sorta understand them not playing a particular song because the crowd is chanting.  I'd think that during any given show, whether Duff is there or not, the crowd is chanting several song names that they'd love to hear so I think the band basically goes with whatever they feel is gonna "work" that particular night from the songs they've rehearsed.  Plus, I think that no matter what was done, us fans would naturally still want something else more.

It was still really cool that Duff did what he did.

Sounds like a fun show! 

Looks like the band is having fun too! (short video)

Great Post!  That picture with Duff on the plane is amazing!  I can't imagine how great he and Axl must have felt playing together!  Definitely a dream for so many fans and I assume for them.  I always catch myself wanting more, but in the end, I am so thankful for these tours from 2006-2014!  Again, a dream!

They shared the set list with 'So Fine' on it via social media prior to the tour.
It's not unreasonable to think they might play it during one of the 5 shows they played together. 

[Pinball Wizard]

"Nice Boys", "Attitude", "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory", "Raw Power", "Live and Let Die", "Sweet Child O' Mine", "November Rain" and "Patience" all in one video.

I'm not suggesting that because the crowd is simply chanting a song name they play the song that night.  I posted that quote because it was fans, who were at the show, who were making the request.

Duff posted a setlist with the song listed.  A lot of fans at the shows were requesting it, people online were asking for it.  I really thought they would perform it on the last night.  I was surprised they didn't.  I wondered why -- I would have liked to have heard it.

Before practically every show they've ever played, a set list gets posted online by somebody with about five songs that don't get played during the shows even though the fans at the shows are chanting for one or more of them to be played.  Some songs on those posted set lists that fans reported hearing the band playing during rehearsal don't get played during shows.

All Tom Jones and I are saying is..... it's not unusual.

Exellent vid!

But where was bumblefoot during Nice boys, Attitude, Memory, Raw power and Live and let die? 

[NCrazy]

Yeah, guns are not a jukebox, they give you the best they can, and thats it.

and that best is pretty damn awesome!  It would be highly unusual for any band especially a big one like GnR to toss out a song cause fans are chanting for it- like some have said, Duff held up a hand written set list with So Fine on it & and maybe that created some expectations but it's not unusual for all songs on the list to not be played-I've gotten plenty of set lists off the stage that had songs that weren't played. Besides, they did play all of the other songs he held up I believe- "So Fine" is kinda a lame song IMO anyway. It's also not unusual at all for most bands to play the exact same set list every nite the whole tour so I find it bizarre that some fans are disappointed when they don't constantly change it up especially when it already kicks ass!

 Thanks to everyone especially Jarmo for all the updates,pictures & sharing experiences with these SA shows for us to follow at home. My mouth is watering in anticipation of seeing them in a small venue in Atlantic City in a few weeks-The band looks to be on fire & AXL sounds great! -Will be My first in 3 years, can't wait!

[reayj2003]

Gotta say I wish Duff was staying! Great seeing him up there owning the stage.

[Ginger King]

Gotta say I wish Duff was staying! Great seeing him up there owning the stage.

Agreed.  Duff returning was the highlight (and created the most buzz) of the SA tour. 

So what do people think of the 2-3 new songs?  Do solos, Attitude and Raw Power count? 

[Princess Leia]

"Nice Boys", "Attitude", "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory", "Raw Power", "Live and Let Die", "Sweet Child O' Mine", "November Rain" and "Patience" all in one video.

Rumor has it Ron wasn?t feeling well. He also missed the final bow at the end of the show. The rumor started at some website called Perfect Crime. I?m wating for him to say something on twitter

I wonder how these songs can be played without one guitar not playing? And than the question is, is there really a need for that many axes in the band? I mean five songs played without Ron... Not that I haver anything against the guy, just wondering...GNR nowadays looks like a crowded army on stage.

I know all that Gypsy.  This was different, Duff posted it.  It was a rare opportunity for it to be played.

Again -- I'm not suggesting that because the crowd is simply chanting a song name they play the song that night.  I posted that quote because it was fans, who were at the show, who were making the request.  A lot of fans at the shows were requesting it, people online were asking for it.  I really thought they would perform it on the last night.  I was surprised they didn't.  I just wondered why -- I would have liked to have heard it.

They obviously "tried it out" in rehersal....maybe it was working? maybe it didn't fit in the set?

I miss Madagascar and mentioned that once and the response I got was "it just didn't fit.....its like coming out with a funeral procession march".
I think they try to balance the energy.

Although....they do capitalize on 14 Years when Izzy is around....

I can hardly wait till Vegas....40 days and counting for me

[westcoast_junkie]

So fine or no fine,been fun to follow this SA tour. Remember, not that many chinese songs were on that setlist Duff posted. I was positive surprised/relieved that he learnt all those.

Thanks to everyone who's updated and filming. Seemed like Duff enjoyed this. Hope Bumblefoot is back for full on the next leg! He sure is important!
