I got there as doors opened and I didn’t see any event tees at the merch booth closest to the pit! How TF did they sell out so quickly? Almost no one was at the park at the time. Unless they simply kept more in the concourses or sold a lot outside at Gallagher Way. I didn’t end up with a shirt or litho. Considering getting a shirt from the tour truck, but I don’t love the prints on them compared to the actual concert shirts. They had smalls left for sale in the cub store at the end of the night. I’m guessing if I would have dropped in there right away I may have scored a different size earlier. Seemed to have lots of merch left inside there.

Popular Post Outofgascar Posted August 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2023 Glad you had fun. I’m currently watching a Guns N’ Roses tribute band for free at the Daytona Beach bandshell by the ocean and I definitely paid way too much. 😂😂😂 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ericy210 Posted August 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2023 Couple notes from last night. I came into the VIP pit 20 minutes before guns went on. Traffic was hell. I was standing behind one row of people on the railing with space between them. Industrial fans were blowing from both sides of the stage, so I figured they’d want to stay near the mechanical fans, at least until the heat eased up. Indeed, Axl was in front of me 40% of the show, 40% of the show on the other side, and 20% in the hot center stage, with no air blowing. It was so hot that everyone had a couple feet between themselves, so I could just stand there, watch them and fully take them in. Any one of them, usually Duff, Richard and mostly Axl was 15’ in front of me. Duff would make eye contact and nod at you and smile if you’re having fun. Slash would come over and sometimes not be facing the crowd or camera. He’s lost in some solo or improvisation , just completely on a different planet and absorbed with expressing pure musical emotion. Axl was thin- t-shirts and silverish jeans. Good to seem him healthy and joking around. Holy hell, he is intense. He is so focused on delivering the songs as he wants to deliver them, which is extremely well. All the guys were dripping with sweat. But Axl had to sing and breathe in extreme heat- that’s just a ton of physical effort in that heat for anyone. He gets in the zone and doesn’t seem to look at specific things in emotional songs like estranged. He’s singing and sharing himself with the entire world. He looked like a strongman trying to life a car, just all intensity and focus. It’s physically impressive to see someone working that hard with all the emotion appropriate for hard edged songs. Then he jokes between songs. I’m not saying he’s trying hard as if he is old or can’t sing like 30 years ago. Seeing him that close made me realize he is super-intense, the real deal, and he’s not doing it with all the heat to get a paycheck. I guess it’s typical Axl. He believes in the songs and what he authentically wants to say. And he wants to deliver a great show. I’m pretty sure if people were pushing and passing out with the heat, he’d tell us to back up. Maybe stop a song he’d tell us a second time. Then he’d end the show so people aren’t dying in the heat. I have all the gunner credentials and won’t bother sharing them. But after being a fan and seeing them many times since appetite came out, I never really got how intense and dedicated and real deal he is. He is really hard core. 11 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
