Waited until Midnight 2007 in Sydney. The element of 'danger' added to the show back then was kinda cool I guess, it was well worth the wait as the band (mainly Axl) were on fire. The arena was tense, people were pissed, but when those house lights go down, Jungle riff starts, Axl 'Do you know where the fuck you are' the crowd explodes.
But the energy runs low mid set towards the end. A long night especially when we had to drive 2 hours back to accomodation.
I remember the news the next day 'How Sydney Runs on Axl's Time'
Fast forward to now with how Axl's vocal capabilities are- no it would not be worth the wait, and the band would definitely not get away with it.
