Steamboat Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'm gonna say without a doubt the Asian leg, those were some amazing setlists! Not to mention the great boots, especially Raulxl singing over the songs in his vids, remember that guy?Of course it was a super exciting time too, i remember waiting to see axls new hair and to see what DJ was like, and of course seeing a whole bunch of new songs live.I'd say secondly it'd be the south america leg, axl had a great voice and the shows were great! I think this has been a really great tour so far, much better than lots of other bands out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppetiteForGnR Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) Best leg has got to be the European Leg 2 - with Bucharest, Zagreb and the others. They started performing a full 'Don't Cry' on a more regular basis and the performances were stellar.Ofc Asia had a lot of CD songs. And South America had larger audiences. But the Eastern European shows were real killer. Btw, the London, England shows were great too, all in all, euro leg 2 is the best!Best leg has got to be the European Leg 2 - with Bucharest, Zagreb and the others.

ManetsBR Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Asia for the killer setlists and South America for the big outdoor and stadium concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Asia for the excitement and the setlists, and the Canadian tour for the setlists as well - after Canada, the setlists became somewhat predictable, whereas you weren't sure if you'd get TWAT, or Catcher, or Scraped or anything like that at any given Canadian show... Hell, in Calgary we got fuckin' Liqour & Whores! Haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkarmy Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 It would have been awesome to see the osaka and tokyo shows BUT I was at five canadian shows and 4 out of 5 were 2 1/2 hours with varied set lists and Axl's voice was in great shape... Axl's voice was in better shape for the Canadian shows... so I say Canada! although I may be a bit bias since I'm Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) Asian leg would be the best if it wasn't only four shows. Tokyo was definitely the best show.Canada. Edited December 8, 2010 by bacardimayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koldie123 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Nah his voice was certainly the best in the 2nd Europe Leg, he developed his lower range rasp so well during that leg...he was good in the Canadian shows but I think his voice was greater over his entire range, esp from say Paris/LARC onwards...Now if we are talking setlist, obviously the short Asia leg wins...followed by Canada and then the 2nd Europe leg (full Don't Cry's every time, Nice Boys being brought back and I.R.S/Shackers being rotated was great as well)SA tour was unreal simply because the crowds were the best!

James Bond Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Obviously I'm biased, but the Canadian leg was the best overall value. Axl sounded terrific, most of the shows were 2 and a half hours or longer, and the setlists were varied every night. You never knew what song you would get next. Following that the setlists started taking a far more "standard" shape. On the current leg, however, I'd say Axl sounds the best he has this whole tour so far, and probably the best since 1993.

highvoltage Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Axl sounds the best on this leg and the band is the tightest they've been. Asia had some amazing setlists, Canada and South America had some amazing crowds... every leg has it's merits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duro Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Only caught them here in Canada, but they were phenomenal. It made it doubly exciting because it was only a month after the band came out of the woods a year after CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 didnt they play 13 songs out of 14 of CD in Tokyo. i wanna go back in time to that show. it was really long too. 3hrs 37? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Asia and Canada were the best legs because you got to hear If The World practically every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBrown Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 South America for the crowds, and the last European leg for everything else. You have the band playing at their best, and we got a special show with Duff on that tour. The bigger setlists were cool at first until you heard some of the songs that just didn't work live. They have narrowed it down to an almost perfect setlist in my opinion. The only two things I would change now is opening with Jungle again(It's as perfect of an opener as PC is as a closer), and adding ITW back to the setlist here and there, which I thought was one of their strongest live songs from CD.All of the tours have had fun moments in them though. I was probably most hyped for that Tokyo show following it as it was happening. I'd never be interested in following any other band like I am with GNR. Something interesting is always happening.
