Just snagged the only 2 at my target. They were on a display not in electronics.

I saw them in Dallas at Gexa Energy Pavillion in 2011 and supposedly it was sold out, 13 or 14,000 I believe. I remember following the show thread on HTGTH and they said it was the first sellout of the tour. (Granted it was the first time “GNR” had played Dallas since the Illusion days, so there was plenty of demand I guess)

I was there also and it was packed and the crowd was strong.

Slash is wearing the same shirt he wore in Arkansas last year. Or he found a new one.

Hopefully videos will show slash when the horns begin he holds both arms up bc the fans near him really got excited that they were gonna hear it. I was in section 106 not far from him. Tako mentioned on her Instagram the lack of videos showing axl and slash really enjoying themselves during the song chasing each other. It was my 3rd show of the nitl tour and if it’s an act they are doing a tremendous job of enjoying the stage together. I understand the money is great but, watching close up it looks sincere.

Last 3 songs were mad , seeker and paradise

Merchandise truck is open

They have said 430. Probably around 30 or 40 people in line.

What are the odds that the Houston show is rescheduled for 2018? I have a feeling that another round of U.S. arena dates including Dallas, Austin, and New Orleans will be announced for next year.

Why would Houston be rescheduled? It's selling well.

23,974 attendance

Correct

I can't believe no one has commented on Sturgil Simpson during these shows! 

Caught the last few songs. The music sounded very ZZ Top to me. Crowd was indifferent or really was into it.

Hopefully I won't repeat what has already been stated. The show was very full. The situation with moving the stage in helped  with avoiding empty seats. I saw guns last in New Orleans and they are much tighter overall. It seems all the songs are getting a faster tempo. Axl continues have more energy and gives off the body language that he is enjoying this fully. 

I watched the show in section 25 right off the floor as opposed to the floor and gained possible insight into pacing of the often discussed setlist. Sweet child was the biggest song of the night. It's placed deep enough for casual fans to hear and get their monies worth and head out. Next with NR Kohd and NT you get the next round of fans. And if you can hang for 3 hours you get a 5 song encore.

i will see them again in Houston. I can't say it was the best show but I really enjoyed it. For the money it's hard to beat that level in a concert experience.

lastly, war memorial and Little Rock were overmatched. One gate was open and luckily I knew to keep walking past everyone waiting until we found where it was when we were dropped of by uber. Lots of people missed the first 4 songs at least due to "waiting" maybe they were locals and didn't travel but, it was a scrambled mess.

Place is filling up quick. Bummed thought I had front row but front is aa. Ticketmaster and the lies they sell to you

It seems to me from the rumored possible show at the bonaroo location this was the choice when that date was not able to be secured. Also, it's harder to sell in the amount of time considering the size of the venue. The stadium hasn't hosted a large concert from what I read since an N'SYNC show many years ago. Regardless, we will get a 3 hour show. And it will be solid.

Yeah man, probably so. Deftones from 6-7. Guns at 7:30 or 8. 3+ hour set ends it somewhere around 11. They definitely don't wanna fuck around with any curfews on this one...

I got the same email moving up the Little Rock show on Thursday. I agree it seems to assure no curfew issues if, they wanna keep the show going a little longer.

They have changed the seating chart now, two sections are now closed off. Sections 5 and 27 which are the first on each side.

I think kasanova king is on to something. 

We will see soon enough. I'm just not sure why Adler would be involved again after his interviews in January or izzy based on his opinion on the money offered. But, I'm just basing that on what has happened in the past 14 months only.

I would guess considering the other shows announced on May 25 were arenas vs Little Rock being the only stadium show, larger than life was used. Thanks for finding the information.

When they announced the new arena tour dates and the extra dates of the stadium tour....said something along the lines that the Little Rock show promised to be the event of a lifetime....or something along those lines.  

 

Which would make sense, since Adler appeared at the slowest selling US gigs last year....would make sense to do something "extra" for a show like this.

I've checked the other two major boards and researched the press releases I can find online. No luck on anything special or extra yet.

I read there will be something special for this show.  What that means, I have no idea.

Where did you read that exactly?

I'm going. Sales are low bc it was just announced. If it was announced with the initial round of stadium shows it would reflect higher sales.
