I really hate to say this, but my buddy and I went last night, and sat in section 321. We where totally impressed by the band...the piano solo was amazing....but, axl sucked big time...half the time we couldn't hear him at all....
we actually left the concert half way thru because it did not get any better...and, we where not the only ones to leave...I saw about 50 people leave at the same time, and a lot of them that we talked to felt the same as us. They where all saying how much Axl's voice sucked.
Now, I know what you're going to say, but I was very suprised by this. I saw them four years ago in London, and was very keen on last night. This was my buddy's first time seeing them...we where both very disapointed.
So, on my drive in this morning, all the dj's where saying how amazing he sounded.....is it possible that the sound was off in our section?
He sounded really good, I was on the floor, however there were parts where he was lost in the mix and you couldn't hear him. That's a mixing fuckup and I don't get why it happens. If you were in the 300s, I suspect it would have been worse. Arenas are not exactly great places for sound to begin with.
At the end of the show it was still almost full, most people stuck it out. A few left before the encore (it was getting late).
Oh, and yeah it's Canada, no one really cares about pot

And people are shocked about weed at a concert? You guys haven't been to many shows then, at least not around these parts!
Suicide Girls were soooooooooooooooooooo much better than Mix Master Mike, and they put on a very decent show actually, especially the Resevoir Dogs bit ("Why do I have to be Mr. Pink/Because you're a fucking faggot").
