Yes. I was there as well as Charlotte and both arenas were packed. Not sure if they were sold out, but the crowds in the upper bowl in both arenas were full.
On the subject of Axl’s vocals, I was front and center for the Lexington show and could tell he was having vocal issues. The first hour wasn’t too noticeable, but definitely the 2nd hour he was struggling. There was a moment on stage where Axl seemed out of breath or couldn’t sustain a note, and he gave a serious eye roll. Right after that he addressed the crowd and told everyone he was sick. After that he sang Estranged in baritone to help preserve his voice. And it sounded every bit as good as you would imagine (in fact I’ve always enjoyed Axl’s baritone and wished he utilized it more). He seemed to pace himself and actually still sang Live And Let Die with the usual energy and scream we all know. And the 3rd hour was pretty good vocally. I told my friend after the show it wouldn’t surprise me if they cancelled or postponed the next show. I just hope he’s better before Knoxville, as that is my last show for the tour.
