The stream went down just when the solo was on that run
 

Coma better than yesterday and it can only get even better as the tour goes on.

God this is great

I liked TIL solo better yesterday. Still today's was awesome

Coma again, here we go!

Just listened to This I Love and, though the solo is certainly different, I really like the new concept for it. It will definitely will get better as the tour advances

Am I the only one hearing bits of Street Child's solo on this I love btw?

I dont think that explains it at all. His tone carried on the same through the rest of the tour. It changed some during the Snakepit era, then again with VR. I think he used a Vintage Modern with the Jubilee head in stereo. I've heard the 2555x and it doesnt sound THAT much different than the original model. And his cabs are still just a box with V30s. Curious to see what his setup is for this tour. I wonder who is tech is these days?

He's back with Adam Day for this GNR Tour

The jubliees he's using are the new reissues. If I'm not mistaken, I remember seeing somewhere a couple weeks ago that he bought a few new ones at NAMM. Most of his old ones were destroyed in the St. Louis riot. Even though they're supposed to be exact replicas, the electronics change and advance over the years. And you also have to take into account the fact that his amp cabs are not the same. He's using his signature amp cab as to where in the classic era he used the jubilee cabs. I personally think his jubilee sound is much better than his AFD 100 sound

That plus the fact that he's not using the eq as mid boost for solos, which helped a lot to get that creamy UYI tour tone

Though I think he pulled out some old jubs for the Troubadour show, the ones without the marshall logo

I just hope Slash sits on the piano for the outro solo of November Rain, just like in the UYI tour

Wow at that outro solo for Better

SCoM solo as it should be played. AWESOME

Slash's tone is just unreal though....

He really needed those Jubilees back, GREAT improvement over his recent tone

The Ritz 88 intro!

I'm really loving this new middle section of RQ. Has tons of groove, sounds great!

Talk box is back!

ESTRANGED!

THIS IS AWESOME

Axl Killing it so far, and Slash jumping all around. ChiDem solo was killer, seeing Slash jump around in Chinese was surreal

McBob, Duff's tech

I'm watching it over and over again, awesome

Holy fuck, Coma!

Estranged and the outro to November Rain. Seeing Slash play both songs again will be AMAZING

Posted this in the review thread as well:

Okay just got home from work...idk how well written this will be, still cant really find the words to grasp how amazing this night was...to start the vibe was just really positive all around. The security was letting us drink outside the venue waiting for the doors to open. All they said was if the sheriffs come by just get rid of it so we dont get in trouble ha. Inside the venue the place just buzzing, it was electric. I ended up getting front row on Slashs side right in front of the monitor. Doors opened a little after 10pm and the lights when down a little before midnight. No intro (which i totally thought it was gonna be McBob) Slash walked out first and everybody followed, crowd erupted and Duff launched into Its So Easy. And from there the band didnt stop firing. Slash jumped up on the monitor during Easy for the first time and everyone around me lost it. Slash couldnt help but smirk at our reaction. The band was killing it and they knew it. They were all smiles and i just remember Duff looking up one point at Lenny Kravitz with a face like "yeah, we're back motherfucker!"

Axl sounded the best he has since 2010. He had the fire in his belly and that look in his eye. Rasp was everywhere to be seen. The song i paid most attention to vocally was YCBM cuz i know thats one he hasnt done good on for the last 5 years and he nailed it. He slayed the "breakin down my back" section! He was in a great mood and was definitely slimmer than he has been and he was not out of breath. Slash was very focused but he was rocking out for sure. To see him rocking out HARD to the chorus of Better was so surreal! It was just mindblowing to see him playing these songs and standing on stage next to Axl, i really couldnt believe it at some points. He was in top form and nailed every solo. At first they didnt interact too much but by the middle of the set Axl was throwing his arm on Slashs shoulder, he leaned up against his back rocking out during some solos and they exchanged a couple laughs between some songs.

As the setlist is out there, here is some highlights that stood out.

-Axl lost his footing during Brownstone and ended up ripping his jeans in the crotch. During the solo he walked over to the side of the stage and pointed up at Lenny Kravitz and back down at his crotch and said "Penisgate" or somethin to that effect and they both started laughing.

-Frank started a long countoff on the hihat and Slash launched into the Chinese Demoracry riff. I was like no way are they fucking playing this right now. It was very raw and punk rock sounding. It was pretty awesome and Slashs spin on the solo was great.

-Double Talkin' Jive!! Holy fuck was it awesome to hear that live. The band killed it and Axl sounded mean!!! He did the "i got...lies" part just like he sounded on the record.

-before the slide solo in Rocket Queen Slash did an extended talkbox solo, when he finished it Axl had a huge smile on his face and looked at us and said "you missed that, didnt you?"

-Godfather Theme was awesome! Before he started it Axl said "Heres a man that needs no introduction, but gets one anyways. Ladies and Gentlemen, Slash."

-Seeing Slash play the Sweet Child solo right up front and him and Axl doing that outro right next to each other was just insane. I remember looking back and Jim Carrey had the biggest smile on his face and i remember thinking "all is right in the world." Haha.

-Better had a whole new intro. It was this really heavy riff that just kept building and we're in the crowd goin holy shit theyre playing a new song. The riff kept building until it somehow came to a crash with Duff starting "no one ever told me when..." It was epic and strange seeing Slash completely rocking out in the chorus. Again he did a killer solo and did a cool slide part in the last verse. Again Axl slayed the "i never wanted you to be so full of anger" section.

-before Michelle Axl and Duff were talking and into the mic Axl goes "im goin by your guys' list tonight. Im follwing your lead" Duff starts laughing and Axl goes "thats very rare for me. I mean you guys know im an agreeable kinda guy. Im like Trump, i consult with myself." Funny moment.

-Heavens Door was probably the most special moment of the show. Axl starts the first sing along section and then right when he looked like he was gonna start the 2nd he kinda stopped himself and looked around the stage and said "this is the first time in 23 years us 3 have been on stage together, 1993, July i believe it was" the crowd just erupted. He did another sing along section and after that one he said "we worked very hard with the city to make this show happen, and we worked hard with the sheriffs and that in itself took 24 years" and laughed. It was amazing to see him almost taken back and acknowledging the magnitude of the night. 

-another cool moment was Nightrain when they kicked into the first verse. It was "Look out" and both Axl and Slash started the foot stomp, gliding across the stage, stoping for a brief second in front of each other, and spinning off. It was bad ass!

-During Paradise City the crowd was getting crazy and after the first chorus Axl started yellin to the crowd "you guys gotta step back people in the front are getting crushed.... (crowd didnt really move).....i said you people need to step the fuck back now!" They finally did and Axl signaled the band to keep going and he jumped into the next verse. Reminded me of somethin that would happen back in the day haha.

 

Im probably missing a bunch of stuff and its really hard to convey my emotions throughout the night. But this show will go down as the best show i have ever seen in my life. Just to see the first time Axl and Slash back together and have it be in such an important club to the bands history and to be right up front is just magical. I truly feel so lucky to have witnessed it. Im so looking forward to Vegas next weekend! See you guys there! You will not be dissapointed!!!

And for celebrities i saw: Lenny Kravitz, Kate Hudson, Nic Cage, Jim Carrey, Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Kushner, John 5, Colin Hanks, Norman Reedus, Sean Kinney, Bubbles, Bradley Cooper, the sports guy in Anchorman. Im sure there was way more, hard to make out everyone in the VIP section.

Man, I've read your review twice and both times I've gotten chills down my spine at least 8 times. Just awesome

Slash was more animated at the willie basse all star jam last month at palladinos. But I also think that was zero pressure, messing a around with friends and not under any scrutiny whatsoever. There is not any room to run around at the troub, so what should he really have done?!

Yep, and with 7 people on stage it can get very cluttered so I'd wait til Vegas to see how he does there
He hasn't been moving on stage as much as he used to though, at least when i saw him last year with SMKC. Seems to be more focused in playing nowadays or something like that

Almost forgot about that! I want to see Slash playing Godfather again

Not exactly yesterdays take, but it might help to make the waiting til Vegas/a clip surfaces better

seems weird to me, I only get "GOLD" which i think is for the goldtop model the one he uses for SCOM, and the yellow one looks like a SG and I've never seen slash using one...

That yellow one to me looks like a BC Rich mockingbird, similar to the YCBM one from the UYI Tour

Like I said , that second keyboard is Axl's piano tonight. Until we see Axl's piano, a third set of keyboards,or that kiddy gobbler himself, I'm riding that pipe dream to the end.

I really hope youre right but that keyboard there (the one everyone assumes is pittman's) is not even a full keyboard, it's a MIDI controller that has just 4 octaves. I really doubt Axl would use that as a keyboard, and since it's a controller it's probably pittman's to control effects and stuff
