vail2004 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 See them open on the 8th vs 2nd show next night on the 9th? Pros for 8th - most hype; avoid risk of cancelled next show. Pros for 9th - band usually tighter on 2nd night; likelihood of guests higher; set list expanded a bitThoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curmudgeonrose Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I basically decided on the 2nd show based on this:- Chances of Shackler's being played on first show = 0.01%- Chances of Shackler's being played on second show = 0.2% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Drama Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yeah the second show will probably just have a different song or two. That's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 If you're are spending $1000 to go to Vegas and stay in Vegas and see one GNR show, what's another $250 to see the other one. I promise you if you stay in Vegas you will lose $250 in less than 3 hours. So go see both shows, it's good entertainment and your not putting much more down to be there. If you can only choose one it's obviously the first show, to be part of that moment when Axl and Slash walk out on stage together for the first time in 23 years will be absolutely incredible! I think it's going to be a great night for GNR fans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Sparkle Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I want to go to the first show, but I picked the 2nd because of getting off work etc. Easier to go Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LikeADog93 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 The 8th is Izzy's birthday, I would be willing to bet he shows up and plays a song or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's going to be a great night for GNR fansThis. Word for word.Basically my plan was to see anything. First night priority for exactly what you mention, second night if I couldn't get the first. Miraculously I got tickets to both, and figured I'll buy and sell if need be. But in the end, its exactly what you said. Going for the weekend so I might as well make it all about the show.When I tell people I'm going, the funny thing is they don't freak out when its Vegas. They get what GNR means and why I'd do this. They freak out when I say its two shows oddly enough. Which to me is the more normal part of the trip. I'll be in the area. I'm gonna spend $300 on night 1, a hotel, a round trip flight, and NOT go to Night 2 if I have the opportunity? I have literally no other reason to be in Vegas. To me, night 2 was a given and going both nights was the dream scenario the second it was announced 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD62 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I would love to go to both but I can't afford it. So I decided on the 1st show hoping it will be the first show of the tour. The first show back together after over 20 years. I know they will probably play a little club show to warm up before but I am hoping this is the first show.

evergreen_layne Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I think they will both be their own unique experience it will be hard to compare the two. Won't stop us from doing it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vail2004 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 thanks for responses ... no doubt "both" is the right answer. just going to be tough to swing. fact that i am even choosing between 2 shows in the future to see axl and slash on the same stage is surreal.

ZoSoRose Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Unfortunately, I can only do one show because of money and because of the circumstances with friends (they dobt want to pay for 2 shows)Picked night 1. Night 2 might be a tighter performance, but seeing them together for the first time will be amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLotus1111 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Maybe first night is AFD and the second is UYI??? With some CD tracks for both nights? Idk just my guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsinindy Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Maybe first night is AFD and the second is UYI??? With some CD tracks for both nights? Idk just my guess...Doubtful, both nights will be about the same set with maybe a few songs different from night to night. I'm gonna say no more than five.

Tom-Ass Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I hope Axl get's out of his comfort zone and actually practices with the band.. Will kind of suck if he uses night one as his warm up show.. This may have worked for Rock in RIO 25 years ago but he doesn't have the pipes he used to.
