    06/04/22 - Lisbon, PT - Passeio Martimo De Alges

    in 2022 Tour Dates

    Posted · Edited by SAU3R

    So my subjective takeaways from this show, solely based on streams that I watched:

    - first of all very good first show, definitely no Berlin, Monterrey or Hershey

    - Axl is absolutely fit, looking great for 60 years old. Did some good sprints during Civil War and Patience outro. Also seems to be in good spirits and did a lot of crowd interaction today, nice to see!

    - Frank keeps getting better, he fits in quite nicely 

    - Richard is the best guitarist in GNR and plays way more tasteful solos than Slash imo (and now go gimme that ban)

    - setlist is much better than last year. They rearranged quite some bits of it. I actually like Walk All Over You, even though I always want to get rid of most covers. Duffs song is just there so people can go to the toilet. Reckless Life, HS, Absurd and YC (fast) are awesome additions (although not all new). Still would love to see some other rarities being thrown in (TWAT, PTU, maybe SOD)

    - Better needs to be dropped, play Maddy instead or just anything else actually, it’s just horrendously bad at this point

    - I’d love to see some new songs, I think we might get them at some point, they tried out some things today and are gonna try out other things later this tour, I’m sure 

    - Axl‘s voice is a mystery: low range is great as always, mid range is sometimes strong (SCOM) sometimes Mickey (RQ). When he has to sing a lot of notes without breathing in his Mickey voice, it tends to crack and get to that unhealthy sounding mid range rasp which he cannot sustain for more then a couple of seconds. That happened especially during Coma and Better. The high range is there, high notes on RQ outro, Better bridge, ISE outro were quite good. However the sharpness and edge is completely gone, the voice sounds flat and muffled.. 

    I definitely expect them to get even stronger during the next couple of shows but I fear that it’s gonna be a long and exhausting tour (43 dates to go this year) especially for Axl, I hope his voice holds up

    Thanks to everybody that posted the stream links in here, esp @cineater!
