Thanks for sharing my YouTube videos of Prostitute, Perhaps etc. You beat me to it. Just slept for half a day after getting back last night. I have a few more videos uploaded from last nights show too. It was a solid show even though Melissa was absent (Axl said she was being checked for pneumonia as someone earlier mentioned). And yes those were Dizzy’s parents sitting to the left. I was standing at the rail right in front of them and Axl actually came and sat down next to them on stage for a few seconds during the show and smiled at them. Funny interaction. I didn’t see their tour buses after the show this time unfortunately. I was able to get Axl’s autograph on my litho in Knoxville and Pittsburgh but no luck in Denver this time. It was great hearing some deeper cuts this time. Perhaps was awesome as usual. They also played Shadow of Your Love, which I had not heard live in person before.

That's awesome. This really cracked me up.

Out of curiosity, this show doesn't seem to have a General Admission option for the pit. The only options are the Welcome to the Jungle Experience and Patience Early Entry package. The other shows I've been to on this leg of the tour had a GA option for the pit. I'll be traveling far for this one, so I might just get good tickets early rather than risk getting bad seats. Interestingly, the show is on 10/27. Wonder if we might hear The General?

On the fence about getting tickets until closer to the event. Long drive ahead...but hoping it happens!

Hoping it happens after they postponed St Louis. I might drive there but it’s a long trek.

Hope the illness gets better soon. Fingers crossed Knoxville is still happening.

I ordered a Perhaps shirt while at the Pittsburgh show. Felt I needed to commemorate the occasion!

I’ve been in the Pittsburgh area for about twenty years now. I still have no idea why Pittsburgh’s litho looks like this. The only two things that jumped out at me were that there’s a river in the design, and perhaps the church represents Romero’s Night of the Living Dead? That’s a stretch though. I like the design because it’s so random. The color kind of matches Hershey from a couple years ago. (Not this year’s Hershey design - the one from 2021).

I got a North American litho at Hershey. They were at the merch booth inside the stadium (the one in the main floor not the one near the bathrooms). They weren’t in the merch booth in the parking lot either. They also had them in Pittsburgh. Got mine framed and on the wall with my Pittsburgh and Hershey lithos.

I enjoyed the show, and I do think he’s improved overall since the last tour. But I agree that he sounds better in a lower voice. The “Mickey” moments are still tough for me to enjoy personally. Once this tour concludes, I really would like to hear how he sounds after a good long rest. When I look back at how he sounded for AC/DC (which wasn’t that long ago and sounded good), I can’t help but wonder if a little hiatus might refresh his vocals a bit. It was still awesome though - so glad to see them twice on this leg. He seems to be having a great time these days and it’s refreshing to see that.

250 per city. There’s also a North American tour Lithograph that has a total of 1000.

The two shows I went to had a small batch for sale outside the stadium. In Hershey I got a litho in the outdoor merch tent about 2 hours before gates opened, and they were running low. In Pittsburgh, they opened the outdoor merch tent around 11 am (gates opened at 4:30), and by the time I got there the outdoor merch tent was out of lithos. But I got one inside the venue once the gates opened.

Thanks so much. It was a frigid 5-6 hours too and I wasn’t dressed warmly. Had to keep pacing back and forth to keep warm. But it was worth it in the end! I’ve never tried to do anything like that before so I wasn’t sure if it would pay off, but it did. Awesome to see one of my favorite artists of all time up close. I saw them in Hershey last week (and the last two times they were there in prior years). Last week’s Hershey show was solid too. I got tickets to the the pit in Hershey so I had a much better view of the stage than my seats in Pittsburgh.

That’s an excellent question. I was speculating what he was doing all those hours inside the stadium after the show. Slash Dizzy and the rest of the band left quickly afterwards. Slash got in a waiting SUV, waved at us, and left. But Axl and his entourage lingered inside for hours. I will say though, he and his entourage have a lot of baggage. I watched them pack his bus for hours!

Cool video! He’s come a long way in terms of being friendly to fans in my opinion. Of all the band members, I always had the viewpoint that Axl was the hardest band member to meet or interact with. Last night blew me away … I’m still amazed Axl signed my poster. He was very friendly.
