I'm guessing Melissa probably recreates the synthetic string parts etc... Dizzy now plays the string parts, we can see him playing strings on the London 2012 show. Melissa probably plays the other instruments like flute, ambient sounds, sub bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I have no idea why they choose to put Wichita Lineman in the set, such an energy killer. I went to this show also! It was amazing!! What I do remember was one of my highlights was when they did "Sorry". I remember a lot of people were sitting down behind me, and a lot were looking at me for the fact that I knew the words to that song. I disagree with you on the placement of Wichita Lineman. After Sweet Child O' Mine / November Rain, with everybody standing up and singing and waving their lights, for me at least, Lineman allowed me to catch my breath I guess you could say. Whole Lotta Rosie sounded awesome as well. I remember before DTJ Axl started singing 'It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood, it's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood'. WTTJ opened with "Rumble", Civil War ended with what I believe was Voodoo Child (or Machine Gun), and no OWB before KOHD - and of course Blackbird before Patience. Slash did a handstand at the very end of the show My first GNR concert and it was so, so good. Although I was expecting the setlist, they did it really, really well. (I also remember getting a good whiff of some good ol' NZ marijuana during the show) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it always on stage, or does it come onstage at a certain time? If Dizzy is a keyboardist, Melissa is a keyboardist, and Axl plays the piano during November rain, does this mean the band has 3 keyboardists sometimes? It used to be on a hydraulic lift under the stage for NITL. For the most recent tour it is off to the side and they roll it over before NR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post twistoflemon21 Posted December 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) I didn't expect this show to take place. During both the opening acts, the rain came down something fierce. Probably why the stadium looked pretty empty when they took to the stage at 7pm. Luckily it died down just before then. This was a really really fun show. I didn't expect to say this but after seeing them in 2007, three times in 2014 then again in 2017, this was easily the best one so far. We all know the band are going to be great but whether or not Axl's vocals will hold up is the true test. He gave it his all and absolutely nailed it that night. There were hints of Mickey from the middle onwards as expected. For whatever reason, his stronger vocals don't really translate well when recorded though. Watching a few videos back, you'd think he sang like Mickey the whole night when really he didn't. All I could think while watching them was 'he didn't sound like that during that song... or that one'. I spoke to one guy that had been to a few of the Australia shows and he said the same thing. Don't judge him based on Instagram videos because they don't do his vocals justice and he sounds a lot different in person. The crowd were in fine form too. Wichita Lineman got a pretty good reaction, as did Whole Lotta Rosie. If like myself, you've had doubts about his vocals based on videos online, go see them and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

And Slash noodling is just on instagram and youtube. When you are there it's just perfect 🤣 It's just Axl that have a voice that no recording equipment can handle 🤦♂️ Edited December 19, 2022 by --DEA-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
