Sydney was great. An almost full house, by the time SMKC hit the stage. And the crowd seemed to love every minute of it.
Songs that seemed to get the biggest response were Back From Cali, Starlight, Bent To Fly, Fill My World, and of course Anastasia.
I was a little disappointed not to hear Don’t Damn Me, but to hear the debut of Bad Apples was a cool substitute!
Overall thoughts of the show - SMKC play a tight, no bullshit, 2 hour rock show. Slash is still the king of riffs, but his solos are a bit all over the place. I wonder if age is catching up with him, because he seems to noodle or shred through most everything now. Especially the slow melodic solos that don’t call for it.
That said, it was still a great show, and I’ve come away with a bigger appreciation of the 4 album songs, as they all sounded great live. And the rest was kind of like a best of SMKC.
