Wow, crazy early for them.  I can't be there unitil 9 so guess not happening.  

Ah, weird- Last time they played Toyota Center, Buck Cherry opened and it was very cool.    Any idea what time they've been going on?

No openers for arena leg of the tour

Anyone know who is opening?  I just went in August and dropped a ton of cash but it's hard to resist.   

Just was listening to the encore on Sirius in my car and Axl sounds really good.

Lot of angry folks here.  Glad they're coming back to Houston personally.  

Most of the posts in this thread are hilarious to me.  The greatest band of all time is back (for the most part) together.  They look great, sound great, and are playing to sold out stadiums but that's not enough.  Some people are more happy being  unhappy.    Seeing them here in Houston was the highlight of my year, it was amazing.

Don't dig the hair but he sure was in great shape then and it really wasn't that long ago.  

I forgot about the mandated lip syncing.  Ya, Axl would never go for that.

Seems like a perfect fit this year.  The SB is here in Houston where they just put on a fabulous show and there is no act lined up as of now.

I would very much like to hear:

Yesterdays

The Garden

You're Crazy- Lies Version

Breakdown

Dead Horse

So Fine

But that being said, what they are playing is so bad ass, it's not that big of a deal.

The concert was amazing all the way around. I've never seen NRG that packed for a concert except when I took my teen age daughters to see One Direction.  Axl was amazing, so much better than he was at House of Blues here in 2013.

Fairly tight, will be hard to do.

Hey Ktex, I recognize that name from a Texans forum and if I remember right you are in the know on all things Texans. Do you know if any of the players are going to the concert?

Haven't heard but sure there will be plenty with training camp in full swing.

Just called the stadium and yes, unfortunately the roof will be closed. 

Do you know how much drinks tend to go for at the stadium?

It's more like $8.75 for a tall boy- 16 oz.- assuming prices are the same.

Round 3 for me tomorrow  (Vegas, NOLA and Houston). I can hardly wait to experience GNR underneath the Stars in the new Stadium.  

Roaaad Triiiip!!!

As a 15 year Texan season ticket holder, I would be pleasantly surprised if the roof is open.

Anyway, if someone that was there wouldn't mind please telling me what time it was over, I would greatly appreciate it.

Arlington, thats where all them soldiers are buried, a lot of good men in graves there.  Good place to play Civil War, at the risk of coming across trivial in regards to the death of soldiers.

Um no, that's Arlington National Cemetery in DC....

So started around 10, right?  What time did they finish PC?

So bummed about Skrillex.  WTF?

Wow, there are tons of tickets available for this show.

Fuckin a man, what balls they had back then. Go on live tv, play a song slower n more mellow than anything out there. Duff had to slow fuckin Don Henley down for fuck sake. Patience was already out there, but still.

 Fuckn A GnFnR. 

Wow, somehow I've never seen this one.  It is bad ass..

I've been saying that for years.  Especially Crazy.

Just now, itsy said:

Duff seriously rocking out.

COMA NOW

I got this in my email today......Aug 5 is the GNR concert here in Houston...  When you click on tickets, you have to buy GNR tickets so I'm assuming Slash is opening for himself?  Strange.
