On the first listen it sounds like someone put the first version on one side, and second version on the other. Listen to the drums, they aren't mixed. I.E. hi-hat comes out of both speakers. The chorus is the give away since they changed the lyrics.

Could also be a slight delay of the music reaching you, depending on where you were in the audience. Usually they set up delay towers around the arena.

I just think they dont have anything left in their marketing and promotions budget, and are waiting for the new year so that they can do it right.

I guess Rocket Queen isn't your cup of tea! There are hammer-ons in probaby every song on

Appetite. Ron is just rockin out leave him alone, if you want them to play the songs note to note, go listen to the record in your room. This is LIVE music, dig it.

Maybe the firemarshall was just over-reacting. There have probably been a lot of changes, especially in the Northeast, due to the Station Night Club Fire a few years ago. All it takes is a few paranoid people to shut down the show, and since GNR's show is fitted for bigger arenas, and this was a smaller venue there were probably some concerns.
