    Seeing the show live in person was a whole different situation compared to watching a stream or something. I just woke up a little bit ago and I wish I was going again tonight. I hope they come back to Gillette someday, I'll go for sure. I've uploaded my footage of Coma. I've got Estranged recorded as well but I'll have to upload it a bit later. 
     

    EDIT

    Here's Estranged

    I just got in. That was the greatest fucking event I've ever been to in my life. I've been a Guns fan since I was an infant, I mean, in my parent's home movies of me as a little toddler I was dancing around to Don't Cry. I love this band. Driving up to Gillette and seeing them was everything I wanted and more. I got there pretty early and walked around Patriot Place hoping to simply get food and some merch (so I could walk the lithograph back to the car before the show). Then I heard Catcher in the Rye at soundcheck. I know that people aren't a huge fan of the song, but it's one of my favorites. I was hoping it would be played but it's all good. So then we got there and headed to the seats. It was great. Even in the 300's the view wasn't bad at all. If they ever come back to Gillette I am 100% getting floor seats though. 

    I'm not a big Lenny Kravitz fan (not that I don't like him, I just don't really know much of his music outside of American Woman and Fly Away. He came on when people were still filing in (the arena was maybe a quarter to half full?) and he played AWESOME. Lenny is great live. His songs sound like what I've heard on the album. And I enjoyed the music I was unfamiliar with. The PA went out for a bit during his set but they got it worked out. 

    Then the wait for Guns. Because of the curfew we assumed they'd be on before 8:30 which turned out to be correct. It's funny, being in the 300's I could KIND OF see the road leading into the Stadium for patrons and then I saw an SUV pull up and a few people walk out and I said, "There's Axl!" and sure enough, they went right on stage. Everything was fucking great. Axl's voice was on point and I don't know how it sounded to you guys but when there were points of what I assume are "Mickey Mouse" in person you can't really hear that because of the balancing. It sounded god damn perfect to me. Even Sweet Child O' Mine which is usually a song I don't give a fuck about sounded great. The fans in attendance near me kept shitting on the Chi Dem songs which was shitty, and I love the Chinese Democracy stuff, but it's whatever. 

    The set list is perfect in my eyes. There's a lot of high energy and soft power in a good balance. I wouldn't change much, maybe take out a song and replace it here and there but it's fine for me. If I didn't get the same songs as another show I'd be kind of disappointed. I like what they're doing. 

    I would definitely go to another GN'R show, but like I said, I'd rather be on the floor. Level 300 was fine but I want to be closer.
