There set time is 7.20 - 10.50 the longest set in Download history. Hope they play that long.
Rio set was 3hrs 30...so along those lines.

So this is the same place that some fans died 30 years ago in '88?

yep. 20th august 1988 during the GNR set. i have the full audio and axl gave the crowd (that kept pushing forward) a good old lecture. iirc the band didn't find out the 2 men had died until after the show

I was there the place was jam packed 107,000 I think a record attendance for Doningtons Monsters of Rock . The arena used to have a slope & the stage was built at the bottom. It had rained & the grass was wet & slippery there were crowd surges when Guns started playing people lost there footing resulting in 2 guys losing their lives.I didn't find out until the following day when I got home about the 2 guys the 1989 Donington was cancelled as new safety measures were brought in the slope was levelled off

Axl is still really good on AFD song discounting his biggest hits PC and SCOM

Agree. But PC can overall sound decent with some '87 highlights time to time. I would say there's Mickey 85% of SCOM, but only 30% on PC. Wonder what it would sound like if they put PC earlier in the set list...

Agree. He should really improve on SCOM as it is what many fans, even casuals enjoy. I would rather them remove 5 songs from their setlist and Axl perform a killer SCOM.

Thing about Sweet Child is that it is going to go over great no matter how he sounds because the crowd knows all the words and is always singing a long.. But on a pro shot it will be awful unless they really doctor his vocals..
