The amount of times Axl has gone to his table and appeared to be talking to the crew, makes me think someone is losing a job tonight .

No I don't think so.  The only problem tonight was Axl's voice.  He knows it's him, he told us.

So what was with that fan who looked like he was getting arrested?  Looked like they had zip ties on him, not just escorting him out.

Axl made a comment about Freddie Mercury and the movie Bohemian Rhapsody showing sing in his low voice as "not singing" or something like that:

How many people saw Bohemian Rhapsody? You saw the movie? You know, Freddie is my favorite singer and it’s my favorite band. And I loved the movie, I loved that they made him (knowable?) to everyone. But when they start to move if off into bullshit, like him coughing and going to (?). Like, he has AIDS- but he didn't have AIDS then. So then later in the show, they have him powering through the songs (?) singing in his low voice and they're using real vocals. The thing is, Freddie never sang fucking highs (?) live. That was real, he sang in the lows, and that’s why I didn’t listen to their live shows when I was a fucking kid.  (?) I’m just saying, Hollywood will tell you anything.

Can someone help with the transcription?

I saw GNR literally fucktons of times between 2010-2016. Then I saw them again in 2018 before I joined the Army and hadn't since. I think taking a few years off was a good move, I've never been to a show beyond my first one where the setlist had so many songs I'd not heard live before. Yeah his vocals could be better, we've said that since 2011, and 2001 before that really, but I had an absolute blast. If tonight was my last ride, I can honestly say it was a great one. 

Edit: But I'm still chasing There Was A Time

If you told me in 2008-2012 that we would have AXL SLASH and DUFF playing all these songs 
01. It's So Easy
02. Bad Obsession
03. Chinese Democracy
04. Slither
05. Mr. Brownstone
06. Reckless Life
07. Hard Skool
08. Pretty Tied Up
09. Perhaps
10. Welcome to the Jungle
11. Absurd
12. Double Talkin' Jive
13. Anything Goes
14. Down On The Farm
15. Estranged

I would laugh my ass off. Appetite-Lies-UYI-The spaghetti-Chinese-Reworked Chinese songs . Literally songs from all their catalogue (i know it's short) and i love it. 2023 is the first year they play songs from all their discography¡? I think it's pretty cool. And say whatever you want about the setlist but since 2016 they played pretty much everything

That's really interesting. I love it when Axl speaks what's on his mind. It's another thing that makes a show unique. He doesn't do it nearly as much these days. As for what he said, it was hard to understand everything because of the audio, but he definitely did say that Freddie Mercury wouldn't go for high notes live. From what I remember when I went through their entire discography, he didn't go for highs on their first live album, but did on all of the others and sounded great. I feel like most performances that I've seen, in general, he would go for the highs too.

I listened to it again and managed to get some of the missing parts. He said that the movie showed Freddie to sing in low voice as a result of being sick (although in reality he didn't have AIDS then), but that's how he really sang live.
