Just now getting a chance to get on here and reflect on the show. Maybe I'm biased because of the energy that GNR brings or that I haven't seen the band since Dallas 2021, but they were f'ing spectacular last night.
Axl sounded the best I've heard him-- I need to go back and watch a few youtube vids, but I don't remember much mickey at all and he was absolutely bringing it the entire night. I don't recall him ever moving around this much or genuinely having this much fun.
The sound was awesome -- well mixed, great volume and both Slash and Richard's guitar tones were perfect, particularly when they were boosted for solos.
Setlist was amazing - Street of Dreams was a treat and definitely think Slash played it with a more fitting, composed solo than some of the noodling I've heard previously - in fact, I think a lot of his noodling was cut down in general. For me, 9 songs out of the 30 played that I hadn't heard live yet.
I don't know how to post pics on here - so I dropped a few pics and videos into a dropbox link below - Slash cut his finger on his picking hand during PTU and you can see blood under his bridge pickup on Jessica - very rock n' roll!
Other highlights:
Slash yelling 'Hey Fuckers' before Reckless Life was awesome... Perhaps sounded AMAZING, great song live... even songs that are more difficult for Axl [NR, SCOM, etc.] he was giving it 110% effort and they really did sound great.
Overall: This was possibly my favorite GNR show to date - I'm incredibly grateful the band is still out there touring and pouring every ounce of effort into 3 hr + shows. I'm very happy and humbled to have seen the band last night.
Enjoy the pics and videos!
