Show was great...not amazing or anything, but great.

It was definetly worth losing some sleep over.

I agree with the past review that suggested an earlier start time. The music would be much more appreciated earlier in the evening, especially when it comes to all the solos.

All three guitarist rocked, but the solos were long at 2 in the morning.

The start time does suck when the concert is through the week. I don't care how you rationalize it. At the prices they charge today, its a business and we all know what happens when you lose site of the customer.

Pearl Jam played for 3 plus hours and still finished by 12. Metallica played for 3 plus hours and finished by 12.

Playing after midnite does not make you more of a rock star or contribute to your hype. It just makes you more of a diva.

Still! Its GNR. They will be worth the loss of sleep.

Well! Free tickets is cool if you have not bough any yet. Not so cool if you did. I bought 5 so I went back today and got another 5. The seats are just a few rows back from my original 5 seats. Too late to see so i just gave them to my friends at work. they will pick up the tab for lunch and some beers before hand so It all works out in the end.

Still. I am not a big fan of giving away seats after people buy tickets for the normal deal.

I was talking to a friend at the venue and they told me that the promoter wanted the seats filled. Maybe to make a huge announcement....maybe to keep Rose from pulling the plug if there are too many empty seats. She told me that seat sales were going fine though, so I don't think it was for the later reason. maybe the cd will be released tomorrow or something.

Not the Halifax show the Saint John show.

It is the promoter's idea. Must want to fill the seats. I went back today and got my five free tickets as I had originally bought five.

Rumor has it they may make some special announcement...say release of a cd???

Or, it just may be to keep Rose from pulling the plug if he sees too many empty seats. better to take a loss than give thousands of refunds.
