Gypsy, why always keep question marks on Slash solo? To me.its just a solo...doesnt need a name 

I was going to call it "Slash's HoneyBee Flamenco Dance Song" but that's kind of a long name for an intro so I just figured it was better to put (??) and wait for Slash to tell me what he wants it called.   



THANKS TO ALL OF TONIGHT'S PERISCOPERS especially @donna83NJ!!!

So....i think the shorter show may have been train related. Someone said last train from metlife was 1:30, sharp. So that might have been why. Also heard someone say they were predicting tstorms after 1, but we never saw anything.

Also....could they have been filming for live dvd, tonight?

[pilferk]

Just got home. its sbout 4 am.

They slayed that show. They all sounded amazing. I'll post a longer review and my thoughts after i get some sleep.

But, suffice to say, one more song would jot change my opinion. They were amazing, start to finish!

Amazing show. Worth every penny we paid.  Plus I took home the best souvenir in the stadium...AXL'S MIC!

Just getting up.  About to fly back to Florida.  Legendary show and crowd.  I'll post review once in recover!

Wow.... I don't think I can ever go see another band live now.  Everyone around us were stunned!

Technically was shorter because they dropped 1 CD song! But I agree...it is still a pretty fair set!

[gunsbetterthanever]

I'm at the airport.  I still can't believe what I saw!  Seeing MetLife sold out was a dream.  I don't know how these guy can go 2.75 hours and come back tonight and do it again!!!  Axel's voice live is simply incredible.  YouTube will never do it justice.

Hey. I just woke up. What an AMAZING show they put on!  You have to go see them live. The Youtube video does not do them any justice.  Axl was on fire. From the beginning of "It So Easy", the band came to kick some ass.  Axl's scream in Jungle was phenomenal! It was the best version of the song. Rocket Queen sounded awesome. I never seen so many people sing in unison with Axl when Sweet Child was played. This was also the best version of You Could Be Mine. Paradise City was awesome as usual!

The two negatives were that Seeker needs to be replaced. Not that good of a song. Also, I would suggest that if your bladder can't hold down drinks, drink less. There was a guy and a woman in my row who couldn't hold it in and kept going to the bathroom  every 15 minutes. It actually started to get annoying a bit.

I have seen various versions of GNR since Axl came to MSG with Bucket and Robin and rocked the house before that tour blew up ... Pretty much every tri state GNR show minus that Randall's Isand festival and a few times in Vegas...including T Mobile.

This was by far the most amazing performance by any of them. This was also my first time seeing them in an outside venue... In my head that was a negative. I could not be more wrong. Axl sang his fucking ass off... and the top hat steals the show in every way...he got such a pop from the crowd for every solo.

Highlights for me were Richard and Slash during RQ, DTJ, Jungle, This I Love and Axl absolutely crushed my favorite GNR recording ... You Could Be Mine... which lets be fair he has struggled with at times over the years. Not last night ....

Also the fireworks at the end of PC are a great sight.

MetLife did an amazing job ... There was not an empty seat in the house...so damn loud. My party and I hung out from 4 o clock in the lot ... Had some drinks, some food and lots of laughs. Walked right in as Lenny started ... I was very impressed with his band. Only a half hour wait in between sets. We parked right next to the exit and FLEW right out of the lot after the show ( which was great) then caught some late night Chinese food at Wo Hop downtown ( best spot in NYC for Cantonese) perfect end to an amazing day I'll never forget.

[JAEBALL]

Oh yeah I forgot to mention ... It was hot! 

[sky dog]

well played Jaeball....

The shorter show length woukd fit a typical blu-ray run time, the sound and acoustics were the best i've ever heard, axl seemed on a mission, the pro shot live streamng of some of the songs, etc. I'm not saying they were, just wondering out loud.
