Gordon Comstock Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Paradise City is the worst GNR classic if you ask me and one of the weakest songs on AFD.In terms of great concert closers, Man In The Mirror on the Bad and particularly the Dangerous tour was beyond epic. Flying out of a stadium on a fucking jet rocket was class!!I always thought it look a bit shit. I mean you think jet rockets and you think like, whoooosh, zoooom, they way it moved you made it look like it was powered by a hairdryer. I mean obvious it weren't gonna break the sound barrier i mean, it'd kill the bastard but thats sort of why its a crap idea, its impossible to do well.Tough crowd.I looked it up on youtube, because it sounds awesome, but agree with Len. It looked.... Flimsy? There was that big long set-up, for that?On topic, short answer is "yes". It depends on the gig and the atmosphere, though. I'm not even sure Paradise City is the best GnR closer, especially at the smaller club shows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinaski Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Didn't Oasis always tend to end with a faster number than that? Lots of covers generally from what I remember. My Generation, Come On Feel The Noise, I Am The Walrus etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Generation, Come On Feel The Noise, I Am The Walrus etcI Am The Walrus they play most frequently. But they have closed with Don't Look Back in Anger.

username Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v16zmkeWys Maybe so, but when Neil Young closes with it it's amazing! Come to think of it, when I saw Neil in 2007 (I think) he closed with a mindblowing extended version of A Day In The Life. Amazing closer as well.

Spoon87 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 SG - Slaves and Bulldozers ain't such a bad closer. Hell yeah, they finished with an insane version of Beyond the wheel and this when I saw them last year. Unbelievable. Gonna see them again in 5 weeks. Oh, and Pearl Jam closing with Indifference is always beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) I just remembered I'm Going Home by Ten Years After is a fantastic closer as well. Some amazing guitar there! And Leo Lyons is a fucking here on bass too Final 3,5 minutes Edited August 1, 2013 by username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy_Stradlin_XX Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The ocean, in 1972 and 73, great closer and then they dropped it from the set forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsys Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 When I was a kid, a friend's parents took us to see Skynyrd in Jacksonville (before the crash). Ron VanZant had lost his voice and so the band played an instrumental Free Bird. I was just a kid but will never forget how exciting it was and everyone in Jax Colliseum was jumping around. So fun.Also have had a great time with Rush closing with Tom Sawyer and everyone playing air drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
