This has been about as good of reunion era show as you can get. Everyone is in sync, full of energy, crowd is singing along even with the CD songs. Great show so far. After The Who, I didn't think GNR could put on a show that could compete, but they're doing it for sure.

My only complaint would be too much covers. KOHD and Live and Let Die aren't in this categoye, they almost are GN'R's own songs. However, playing three to four other covers every night is not so cool. 

You have a point. Less covers and more GN'R songs would be great, but they always did this kind of shows, remember UYI era... Dust In The Wind? XD

I think Axl should use his chest voice, his head voice is causing some issues and doesn't sound quite as good in the mix. 

I think they should have shorter intros. They could turn a 3 hour show into a 2 and half hour show playing the same songs 

Yes, but that's not new at all...that discussion has existed for decades! ;-) Axl sings the way he sings and the band plays what they want... :-)

People are just complaining more because the problems are easier to identify in a pro mix. I agree that this is a step up from 2011, and that what we are seeing tonight is more or less representative of the band during the last couple of months. It isn't a bad thing, because they still sound good. I just think people were expecting too much when they really should have been expecting more of the same.

Fair assumption, but I think most people have the logical hope that when they're headlining such a huge show and it's being shown all over the world, that all parties involved will step it up an extra notch. Just a guess.

Well that's not constructive. Being a stale act is suppose to be good? 

Axl's vocals are excellent for ACDC

Axl's vocals are actually very bad for a professional singer with gnr,

Axl sounds awful. He is the weak link. He brings the whole thing down. It is sad:

 

He is the reason this reunion is so underwhelming. It is not GNR without the powerful Axl vocals. It is just a weak singer with great players.

When you think about it, Velvet Revolver puts this to shame.

 

This thing needed to happen between 2006-2010.
