Blackstar Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm very happy for all of you who got your shows dates and tickets already! I knew there were zero chances for them to come down here (or near) and this is why I've been cool about the tour announcement. ------ @BOSSY78, screenshots from Mick Wall's book and relevant discussion from page 499 to p. 503 and from p. 506 to p. 510 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane M. Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 All those random people coming out of nowhere asking for presale codes are funny. Like "sure let me give you my nightrain presale code that I had to pay $45 bucks for it." JFC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they do another European leg, I'm hopeful that they will do. i think they will be hitting the festivals next year, they'd be daft not to.

Thank you Don't feel sad though Yeah, maybe I'll get to see them if they do another leg. If there wasn't the work thing, I could possibly make it for the Paris show. But if there was a way to choose any show I wanted, I'd definitely pick St. Louis (although from what I understand there isn't anything else to see in that place) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant travel out of the UK without my kids, London is a massive stretch for me and far enough away for me to be away from them as it is. If this had happened ten years ago, I would have gone to as many shows as I could till I went broke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember me and my friends joking about the possibility of ourselves still going to rock concerts when we would be 40-somethings and here we are now 10 years ago I might go to 2 shows. Yes, the St. Louis show will be something. I listened to Richard Fortus's interview and he said Axl wanted it to be either the last or the first show of the leg because it's very important to him.

Thank you There is a little possibility to work something out the last minute (if there are any tickets left), but it's impossible to make any plans right now. I saw the Illusions lineup with Izzy. It was when Izzy came back for 3-4 shows in 1993 because Gilby had broken his arm.

It is a trick they do now so people go crazy but listen, when they announced the first River Plate show, two days later it was "supposedly" sold out and you couldn't get any more pit tickets at all. A week before the show, it suddenly and magically open again and one friend of mine was able to buy a vip pit ticket and make it to the show!!! There are lots of people who buy them, then cant go to the show or buy them to sell them later. Of course, I wont recommend you to get it from the scalpers but if someone you can trust is willing to sell it face value then maybe you get your chance. That's why I say dont rule anything out. It is very possible to get a good ticket even days before the show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlingrl03 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Any one going to the San Antonio show? I think I might go to that one for a few reasons. My brother lives there (as of now) should be a good crowd AND it's the last show of the NA tour.. so maybe we will get a great set list like San Diego got!!!!

Ok, enough chatting......... Here's a moment by the end of "It's So Easy" at the River Plate Stadium on November 4th, 2016. Axl is finishing the song and stays behind his mic waiting for the last chords of the song when he pays attention to a girl who's being taken out of the crowd, she's walking like drunk or very tired, so she turns around to him and makes some hand gesture (not sure if it's a wave or she's pointing at something) and Axl waves back at her, but I guess she doesn't get to see that. It's so very sweet and lol at the same time. So we talked with @Andy14 about how Axl is paying attention to the crowd, or at least people in the first rows, and he's such an observer of everything. Here's the video... only a few seconds at the end of the song. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a proper fan girl back in the day, you know pictures on the bedroom wall, scrape book of newspaper clippings, it was bordering on obsession, I had seen them at wembley in the summer, I remember an announcement was made on a local rock radio station on the 8th about Izzy leaving, the day of my 18th birthday, I was gutted and refused to go out and party that night. ha, ha so tragic!

But i always found him very attentive on stage, nearly always catching the things thrown, especially the bras. Lol. He was often- and also observant of the fans in the first few rows. Interesting though, because other singer might be only concentrated on their singing and performance. Also shows, how naturally he performs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
