You're going to die.
I'll be catching this at the very end and have an internet tech coming in the morning. Can somebody post the litho? Get it here or MyGNR http://lithorati.com/2020tour/na2020-2021.html
I was hoping they would do something with pinball. Jersey Jack is located there and they do have pinball machine in play.

Couple notes from last night.
I came into the VIP pit 20 minutes before guns went on. Traffic was hell. I was standing behind one row of people on the railing with space between them. Industrial fans were blowing from both sides of the stage, so I figured they’d want to stay near the mechanical fans, at least until the heat eased up.
Indeed, Axl was in front of me 40% of the show, 40% of the show on the other side, and 20% in the hot center stage, with no air blowing. It was so hot that everyone had a couple feet between themselves, so I could just stand there, watch them and fully take them in. Any one of them, usually Duff, Richard and mostly Axl was 15’ in front of me.
Duff would make eye contact and nod at you and smile if you’re having fun. Slash would come over and sometimes not be facing the crowd or camera. He’s lost in some solo or improvisation , just completely on a different planet and absorbed with expressing pure musical emotion. Axl was thin- t-shirts and silverish jeans. Good to seem him healthy and joking around. Holy hell, he is intense. He is so focused on delivering the songs as he wants to deliver them, which is extremely well. All the guys were dripping with sweat. But Axl had to sing and breathe in extreme heat- that’s just a ton of physical effort in that heat for anyone. He gets in the zone and doesn’t seem to look at specific things in emotional songs like estranged. He’s singing and sharing himself with the entire world. He looked like a strongman trying to life a car, just all intensity and focus. It’s physically impressive to see someone working that hard with all the emotion appropriate for hard edged songs. Then he jokes between songs.
I’m not saying he’s trying hard as if he is old or can’t sing like 30 years ago. Seeing him that close made me realize he is super-intense, the real deal, and he’s not doing it with all the heat to get a paycheck. I guess it’s typical Axl. He believes in the songs and what he authentically wants to say. And he wants to deliver a great show. I’m pretty sure if people were pushing and passing out with the heat, he’d tell us to back up. Maybe stop a song he’d tell us a second time. Then he’d end the show so people aren’t dying in the heat. I have all the gunner credentials and won’t bother sharing them. But after being a fan and seeing them many times since appetite came out, I never really got how intense and dedicated and real deal he is. He is really hard core.

That's a pretty good description of Axl. He's working that song. Yet he knows what's going on in the audience. Duff looks down at the people right in front of him. I think because he doesn't want to look into the lights. Axl I think looks out there and sings to a group of people making his view a little widera and makes him feel accountable for the perfection of what he's doing. Sometimes I think when he takes the walk across the stage he is focused on that last group he can see and he's singing directly down that row to people as he walks by. Never know, there might be a second there where Axl sang directly to you. You know when he's not trying to force that note into the mic.

Verey well put! Axl is giving everything he has for these shows. It killed me not to go too this one but I am going to make the Arizona show.
