Looks like he was telling him to keep the melody going. If you remember the actual song, it just goes to a tape cut. So, Slash could have ended at any time, Axl told him to bring it back around so he could sing it.
This is the universal symbol in bands for "go around one more time." He wanted Slash to play that part again because he missed his mark/cue to start vocals.

What second are you referring to? To me it sounds just like the album version
OK just went back to listen to the album version and I stand corrected. It was/is correct.
It just sound s like a mis-chord on that video. It really stands out when listening through earbuds, it was the chord at 19 seconds.

Right? I think Axl went into the next section to early and everybody else followed, surprisingly well I must say. I didn't check it though.
I meant to say that the "they" I was referring to was the guitar player either Slash or Richard. Axl started at the right spot at the beginning of the song. Its all good though.

As a drummer, I thought Frank did a solid job on Locomotive. I was trying to figure out who hit the bad chord at the beginning of the song right after Duffs bass spot that 5th chord. ouch. They started the next section too early. Its all good though, its live and first time playing it live in a couple of years.

Damn, that is ridiculously late, even for Guns standards(at that time). I'm surprised there were no curfew issues.
I thought the same but I think so many people were drunk that they didn't want to have an riot. But by the time GNR hit the stage a lot of people were sleeping.

IDK, If you ask a teacher if he does not get tired of giving the same class for decades he will probably respond by saying that the content of his classes can be the same but the students change, the context changes and every class is as it were the first time because it renews the purpose of teaching and that is what gives you the pleasure and motivation to continue teaching without becoming tedious. So if, in due proportion, we translate this to what a musician does, we ask him if he does not tire of playing the same songs for years and years and years ... We would probably have a response very similar to that of the teacher. It may be exactly the same setlist for decades, but it changes the audience, changes the context, and feels the energy of the people there on the show, watching them entertain themselves is likely to rule out any chance of boredom.
Nailed it. Taking away the internet would be huge for the concert industry. No streams, no videos, no instant set lists being published, no internet concert critics picking apart every little thing.

Axl should be in fine mood to do some writing now....

Since the thread is closed. I am just passing along Del's response from a Twitter post about the letter.

My thoughts, Seeing them this time in Minneapolis was fun and it was good to see them on stage again. Made me think of the first time I saw them back in 1992 at Target Center/MPLS. Did some digging tickets were $20 for lower level. Times have changed I am glad I didn't have to wait around til 12:15AM again.
---From GNRTour.com:
01.22.92 - Target Center, Minneapolis, MN
opening act: Soundgarden
set: Perfect Crime, Mr. Brownstone, Bad Obsession, Live And Let Die, Attitude, It's So Easy, Double Talkin' Jive, Civil War, Wild Horses [Intro] / Patience, You Could Be Mine, So Fine, Nightrain, Don't Cry, Welcome To The Jungle, Piano Solo, November Rain, Drum Solo, Guitar Solo, Godfather Theme, Sail Away Sweet Sister / Bad Time [Intro] / Sweet Child O' Mine, Move To The City, Only Women Bleed [Intro] / Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Estranged, Mother [Intro] / Paradise City
attendance: 16,000
notes: The band came onstage at 12:15 a.m. and the show ended at 2:50 a.m. Before 'Double Talkin' Jive,' Axl makes fun of his own rants. Axl mentions he wrote 'Don't Cry' from a third person point-of-view. -

Steven just kept on lying. He kept saying he'd given up. I'd already been around to his dealer's house and threatened to kill him if he sold Steven any more drugs. And one night I went round to Steven's house and pressed the redial button on his phone. And guess where it went? And that was that [Duff, Classic Rock, May 2006]
It got so bad, and he seemed so incapable of reining it in, that at one point I found out where his drug dealer lived and took a shotgun to teh guy's home. Fuelled by booze, obviously. I waited for him, intending to threaten the fuck out of this dude to get him to stop supplying Stevie with the things that were going to kill him. It's lucky this guy never showed up - lucky for him, of course, but also for me [Duff, autobiography, 2011]
Interesting to see that the story changed here. Earlier he (Duff) said he threatened the dealer with a gun and then said it again in 2006. In 2011 its a different story.

Steven Adler is on KQRS Minneapolis Right now (Tuesday 2/20 9:07AM) 92.5FM.
Pimped his booked, mom's book, trip to Australia for book signing.
They are hoping that he is REALLY tired. Steven sounded "happy." He was all over the place in the interview. They had to cut him short..
Link Feb 20 Part 3; Starts at 46:30

No, I used Photobucket and tiny picture pasted the URL and nothing would load. Didn't have a lot of time to mess around trying to figure it out.

If I could figure out how to upload a picture on here I would have as I happened to catch the graphic from the TV. Uploading photos on here is an mess.

Better get your Powerball ticket. They just said on the news that you could buy 225 private GNR shows. Maybe they will let you pick the set list. LOL

I am sure this will be the bands last stop In Arkansas after seeing how the tickets sold.
It was interesting because Tim McGraw and Faith Hill cancelled last nights show in Little Rock (verizion arena) because she was "feeling ill"
I bet she makes tonight's show (8/4) in Nashville. LOL I wonder if ticket sales were bad for that show. Little Rock tough town for ticket sales.

lol, what a dump. I have to ask again, why the fuck did they book this venue over Verizon Arena. Anything to save a buck I guess.
The gear/production that they have on this part of the tour is for outdoor stadiums. They will have a smaller production for arena shows.
Although I can't wait to see this stage in this place its going to look massive. And with them moving the stage forward making it even bigger.
-
...and the extra solos while good for Slash- gives Axl's voice a break. So I would say they are by design.

Why? It's a whole new crowd each show. Each night is (99%) a brand new audience.
I was being sarcastic. By doing that it would squash the whole "same ol setlist" argument. LOL

What GNR could do is take current set cut it in half and play set A at one show then set B st the next. See how that goes over. 15 songs at each show And throw in a extra new tune every now and then.

I'm aware of this. Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, and Van Halen are famous for delivering the same show every night. I remember back on the Illusion tour when every show was a unique spectacle of no-holds-barred hard rock. I caught the Houston show on September 4, 1992 and the Austin gig on February 23, 1993 and both performances were completely different. I hope the fall 2017 tour is drastically different from the current show. Perhaps, Skin N' Bones revisited? That would work for me!
Back then it was the SAME stuff said between each and every song.. just the names of the towns would change but the stories would stay the same.

Metallica's 18 songs set is 2 hours and 10-20 minutes long and Maiden's is 2 hours. Number of song's isn't everything. Also GnR didn't do 31 songs, they did 27 unless you count solos as songs.
I mean they still play for 3 hours and longer than those bands but there is no need to trash other stuff. Metallica and Iron Madien have tighter, louder and more intense shows, they don't have 7 minute solos or 5 minutes singalongs like GnR and no, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying it's different type of a show
Valid point.

Listen to Lars on Howard Stern. Brags about his oat pancakes (cooked and delivered to him during his interview). Then brags about how he has a staff of people strech him out on a board for three hours to prep for each nights show...which apparently is 18 songs lol
Iron Maiden's show here in the Twin Cities first one in 17 YEARS with there lead singer back after a 6 year absence played 15 songs and people complain about 31 songs (21 Original) at a GNR show. 15 Songs is a cover band's set at a bar.
