goneshootin Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Any bootlegs floating around online yet for this show (or DC)? Great show last night, hearing Problem Child for the first time in 15 years was a nice surprise. The finale with Cliff was a special moment, and both Axl and Angus killed it the whole night.

Well done Axl, well done! This really brings a tear to my eye, even though this was a few months ago, its hard to believe it ended so soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Powerage5 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2016 Fucking amazing gig last night - easily the best of the six I saw on this leg of the tour. For starters, everyone was firing on all cylinders. Angus was eating up every moment, and Axl was laying down some of the best vocals I've ever heard from him. Every single song was flawless - even the pre-chorus on Hells Bells was unbelievable, gotta be the best Axl has ever done that one. I had no expectations of getting anything extra last night - I thought, at most, they might swap something out for Touch Too Much. But holy shit, when Axl said "We're gonna try something here..." after Riff Raff, as he always does when they really mix things up in GN'R, I just about lost it. And they launched into Problem Child, and I absolutely lost it. Problem Child was a huge surprise, maybe bigger than some people realize. I have mentioned this story to a few people, but I don't think I've actually posted it on the forum yet. I saw Anthrax in Detroit the day after the Detroit gig, and I was talking to this guy who apparently knows Axl pretty well, because he said he spent about an hour and a half talking to him after the gig. He mentioned that Axl had practically begged Angus to do Problem Child, and they didn't get it together in time for the US leg of the tour. So basically, I had it in the back of my mind that Problem Child wasn't even really a possibility to get played at all. FTATR was pretty emotional for me - knowing that it was the last song Cliff would perform with AC/DC, but also knowing it was possible it would be the last song AC/DC ever played, it really got to me. Especially when Angus dragged Cliff out onto the catwalk, that was so damn cool of him. I also loved Axl's little touch of introducing the band at the end. Just a perfect end to a perfect gig! It was great to spend the day and the gig with @downzy, @Estranged Reality, and @highvoltage - I couldn't have asked for a better crew to have for that gig! Especially cool that I got to meet HV for the first time for an AC/DC show - I know a few people here know this already, but HV and I originally met on the old AC/DC forum long before either of us joined MyGNR. So yeah, getting to see AC/DC with HV was very much a sort of coming-full-circle moment for me. Thanks for a great night guys, definitely never gonna forget that one 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Excellent review! I can't stop listening to Problem Child. I love the bit in the last chorus when Axl points at Angus and changes the line to "he's a problem child" which was a nice touch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post metalms Posted September 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) My Concert Review It took a few days to process, what these eyes and ears have seen over the last several days. My husband and I planned a small tailgate before going in to the Wells Fargo center on Tuesday night to see AC/DC’s final show on the Rock Or Bust Tour (possibly Ever) Both of us decided since this is our last concert of the summer season to have some fun. We both took off from work on Wednesday (the day after the concert in preparation) we pulled in to our spot and broke out all our AC/DC CD’s mostly from the Bon Era which we love, blasting them through our stereo speakers. Beers were flowing. Got a break with the parking, only 10 bucks! I was hoping for a bootleg T-shirt guy selling some kind of hybrid Axl/AC/DC shirts, but I couldn’t find any. There were several “capitalists” in the parking lot. We ended up buying 2 football bootleg shirts and talking to a guy selling beer Koozies, who was mad that the t-shirt people were cutting into his Koozie business (got to love America!) I had an opportunity to talk to some AC/DC fans. One woman in particular was not a fan of Axl, but said that several friends had seen the shows on You Tube and said how good they were and was willing to give him a chance. I told her I was a fan of both bands, and that she would not be disappointed. I was pretty confident of that. The second group of fans we met pulled up next to us because we had good music blaring from our stereo speaker, and they wanted to party a bit. We are a friendly bunch so welcomed them with open arms, and he was wearing a cool shirt you don’t see very often anymore, JACKYL LOL! We drank a few beers and hung out and talked music. His niece was a huge GNR fan, and said she hung out on the forum, but we didn’t exchange “nicknames” We were having so much fun we almost didn’t notice the time! 8:15! We said an abrupt goodbye (They were not quite ready to go in yet) and walked from the lot to the Stadium. AC/DC went on at about 9 pm. I was pleasantly surprised by our seats. Section 105, seats 17 and 18 right on the end and super close to the bathrooms (don’t laugh these things become important as you get older) It was a full on view of the stage, and the music from the Marshall stacks were hitting us straightaway, so the sound was INCREDIBLE. AC/DC hit the stage and Axl was right. AC/DC are a freight train. The music hits hard and hits non- stop. Angus is this little tiny dude, with skinny pasty white legs. The guitar looks like it could weigh him down, but the riffs, the music, the presence that emanated from this little man, was every reason why this man is a rock n roll legend. The band sounded great, powerful. Chris Slade has had some critics, but honestly that man (is or is almost 70) beat those skins better than most men half his age. It was an especially emotional night for many reasons. Cliff’s retirement, the last show of the Rock or Bust tour and AC/DC’s future in question, and then there was Axl. The man did it. He silenced his critics. He sang his heart out. That voice. I looked over at my husband, and he mouthed the word wow. He is a fan, but I think even he was surprised at how good it all sounded. He laughed and said, “All is forgiven for 2002” (My husband was referencing the last time we were at the Wells Fargo Center, and Axl didn’t show and the now infamous Philly mini riot broke out.) This was in a strange way a summer that purged old demons for many people (I think Axl too) He seemed especially warm to Philly at the GNR show in July too.) Of course mine were purged some time ago, but I have always been a more forgiving person than the hubby LOL. Axl let the singing do the talking for him. He showed the utmost respect for AC/DC and his fans. He enjoyed himself, but never made the show about him. It was always about Angus and AC/DC first and foremost. His voice was strong and didn’t crack once. All rasp all power. Personal highlights for me were Thunderstruck, Livewire, Hells Bells, Highway to Hell, Problem Child (Shock and Awe perfect song for Axl) Let There be Rock, (Angus solo was OFF THE CHART) Honestly every song was great. You could tell they gave it all for their last show! I was sad to see it end. Touching moment when Cliff was brought center stage and the crowd roared knowing a 40 plus year career in music was coming to an end. Axl and Angus shared hugs and a playful moment when Angus knocked that hat off his head (a moment many have fantasized about on here LOL) As much as people are feeling this is the end, and it may be, you still got the feeling in the crowd, This is still too good for this to be it, especially when you see Angus play that guitar with all that energy still. When I got home I saw that SLASH was in the audience showing his support for Axl… What can you say? What a summer guys… So that is my rather long winded but over enthusiastic review of our time. Amazing band, amazing friendly fans, and a concert I WILL never forget. Thank you AC/DC, Thank you Axl Rose. I have so much respect for you and the FAN you are. I got to see a concert for the ages, and rock n roll memories forever cherished. What it is all about my friends...

IncitingChaos Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 i remember watching the periscope of this song and thinking it was one of his better performances of it. I just rewatched it and it's still excellent, there's so much bite in his voice compared to normally on this track, excellent vocals here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
