Blackstar Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 7 minutes ago, GnR Chris said: I have a feeling due to the heat, we’ll unfortunately get a shorter set list. I hope I’m wrong. They played for three hours in Athens and it was probably hotter (near 40 degrees Celsius, I believe it's over 100 degrees F). It was also quite hot in some other European cities they played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avahland Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Shorter set is OK. No 3 hours of greatest hits but maybe 2 - 2.5 hours with many special songs. A man can dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just what one dude who worked at catering for the Abu Dhabi show said. There's no proof. There were more people that day listening to soundcheck and none of those people said they heard Bad Apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t feel like worrying about getting one. With this heat and GA tickets. Each Wrigley shows I was really, really expecting/hoping for a baseball theme. They went with Big League Chew last time.

GnR Chris Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 They’ve done five shows in Chicago since NITL. Three of the five lithographs have been mafia-themed. There is so much culture and history in Chicago. Mafia theme is disappointingly lazy. But it saves me money. And I don’t have any more wall space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani_1455 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I don't want to be pessimist or the NA Fans but I think the shaken setlists died in Europe, I think there are more strict curfews on USA than in Europe and that means they have less time normally. I think the probability of getting Twat, Locomotive this kind of things is so low at this point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them play nearly three hours at the United Center in 2017. If they cut bangers like “Locomotive,” it’s definitely not due to curfew.

Both 2016 ones were Mafia themed (I have the second one). The MJ one was super cool. If I went to that show or was from Chicago I would have def gotten one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just being sincere, normally in Europe things tend to be more shaken than in the NA Tour where they normally play smaller sets and there is no rotation at all. I can 99% assure you that in this NA leg we will not find 2 of these songs at the same show: Twat, Locomotive, Prostitute, Madagascar, My Michelle, Catcher, Sorry... And I am saying this because they normally have less time to perform and they do an standard setlist with only 1 addition at the most, even more there are times where they have to cut Patience which is considered a hit. On the other side, Europe never gets any new song at first while NA has had It lots of times, I am talking since 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from your list, I saw them play “There was a Time,” “Madagascar,” “My Michelle” and “Sorry” all at the same show in Chicago, 2017. One of my favorite GNR gigs I ever attended.

What I want to say is that nowadays they probably are not doing this anymore just by how they are doing things right now, about your show It's totally incredible that they just play all of this, If only I was there I would have enjoyed It a lot, I think there are not a lot of shows with these amount of ''rare'' songs so you were very fortunate to be there😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been some shows this recent Euro leg where there are six to eight songs in the set I’ve never heard live. Tonight I’m hoping for “Catcher,” “Bad Obsession,” “PTU,” “Reckless,” “Hard Skool,” and “Perhaps” among others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k12 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Other shows they dropped the pits to $150 the day of the show, looks like they are not doing it for Wrigley, maybe it is a ticketmaster thing as Wrigley is not sold on ticketmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
