Vegas gets EPIC, GNR close in on all-time record

[Guest NGOG]

For MyGNRForum, last night's edition of GNR No Trickery came very close to being the perfect show. Only days ago, the community was deeply excited by the reintroduction of Prostitute and Yesterdays; but last night, the band went one further--by bringing back There Was A Time.

Key to the renewed sense of enthusiasm - and the appeasement of Axl's critics - is the increasing strength of his vocal performance. Choosing to tackle two incredibly testing songs, Rose was totally in control.

With a distinct air of gratitude, MyGNRForum was able to witness There Was A Time in the moment (due to the live stream provided by a member of our board):

In tribute to the late Doc Neeson, they also performed a cover by The Angels--Marseilles:

For all of you stat nerds out there, GNR performed for a crazy 3 hours and 23 minutes. To put that in perspective, they were a mere 10 minutes away from staging the longest GNR show ever.

With one show of GNR No Trickery remaining, fans are wondering what else may be in store...
