2021 US Summer Tour (was: 2021 North America Stadium Tour)

[Ali]

I got my two vaccination shots at my local Safeway, a couple of weeks ago they sent me a QR code, that I can add to my Apple Wallet showing proof of Vaccination.  I thought that was a good idea... You don't have to take that card around everywhere you go.  Hopefully the tour continues, I know NIN just cancelled their dates for the rest of the year.

I have the same QR code. It is easy to implement.

I hope that I get to see them. But, as you said, NIN has also canceled their dates. The more and more this happens, the more pressure there will be on GN'R to do the same. There's a PR issue at play.

Well technically they canceled two shows in Ohio and a handful of appearances at some festivals, which - as of now - are still happening.

You are correct. There is a PR issue at play but it works for both sides. Some want the shows canceled and others do not.

Eh, I don't see much of a "both sides" here. The argument for them to play is from the amti-maskers, and from the need to generate income. But, I think it would be much more damaging from a PR perspective to be associated with a spreading event.

I know a thing or two about PR. But I’m not going to debate the issue.

If people are honestly that worried, they should stay home.

I don’t understand the take that because other large name bands are canceling their tour Guns should too?

Not should, but could.

Winner winner!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't look like it.. I think they had Toronto planned but it got cancelled? Could be wrong there.

[pilferk]

Nope.  They had a show planned as part of last years tour, but it was cancelled when the new dates were announced for this tour.  At the time, Canadian borders were still basically closed.

Canadian border crossing is still iffy, based on the pandemic.  They've reopened, but there is some thought they might close them again based on delta. Scheduling a show right now is probably not a great idea.  Too much risk/downside.

I was watching TV and saw a commercial for the NFL Kickoff game in Tampa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-90QLDoWvkg. The commercial is set to Welcome to the Jungle. At the Kickoff game there is usually a small stage setup somewhere inside or just outside the stadium and a band (or pop act) plays while some of the festivities happen for the last seasons Super Bowl Champion. I was at a game in Foxboro to kick off one of the Patriots seasons after a Super Bowl and Ozzy did Crazy Train just before they revealed a banner. If you look at the day of the game (Sept. 9th) Guns has a show in Indy on the 8th, then a break until Saturday the 11th when they are in Atlantic City... Could they fly to Tampa, play WTTJ, then shoot out and hit AC?

[Nytunz]

Do they sell the yellow wttj caps at the shows?

Weird touring combination for the next 4 cities.  Jump to the left, back to the middle, two step on the right and back to the middle.  Ought to have everybody wondering where they are now. 

[axlroses]

Can’t wait to see them in Napa Saturday.  It will be interesting how they alter the set list to accommodate 2 1/2 hour time limit

[cineater]

I'm showing a start time of 7:30 for Napa.  I'm going to be late to help out with the streams.

What time has WVH and Guns been hitting the stage this tour on average?

That's where I was going.

I watch facebook live a lot for band coverage.  I have to say GNR gets the best coverage with the longest streams.  I think it's the set list.  Where other streams cut out on songs that the fans aren't that crazy about, GNR has another hit coming and they just keep coming.  Stones are coming up.  I'm thinking they are going to do a well as GNR when it comes to streams because they have the hits too.

[Spirit]

They're taking requests....

@gunsnroses
What are you adding to this?
