  1. well, what really stands out the me was the crowd. people forget how big guns was at this time. the crowd was absolutely amped up for the show. my friend and i had terrible seats up top on the side of the stage.....behind a bunch of speakers. could only see about half the stage. we said the hell with that and moved to some empty seats dead center of the stage and nobody moved us the entire show. it was a different time. there was no youtube, there were no setlists, you didn't know what the stage was going to look like......or if the band was even going to show up (i had tickets for lake compounce in 91 that got cancelled)......the excitement and anticipation for the show was something i've never experienced at any show since. the band pulling out couches and playing 5 or 6 songs acoustic was something nobody expected but was unbelievably awesome.

  2. just discovered this and watched it from start to finish. oh the memories. i was at this show......17 years old. the first guns show of my life. i remember the excitement like it was yesterday. the setlist was awesome. the acoustic was unbelievable. axl was on point all night. much more stripped down than what the bloated uyi tour had become.....and it was wonderful. in a way it makes me sad that the band couldn't keep it going. fans missed out on a ton of greatness.

  3. i'm a big fan of avenged sevenfold, disturbed, and godsmack and have seen all three bands several times and while all three are awesome live, they all barely play hour and a half sets. that's what amazes me about gnr. axl is almost twice the age of some of these guys and he plays 3 hour shows. as for the late starts, i don't really care. it's not everyday i get a chance to see gnr, so an extra hour or two wait has never bothered me.......although the last 2 shows i saw (hartford '11 and atlantic city '12) the waits weren't bad at all.
