It’s a great setlist all things considered. I think fans around the world at least should get to hear it once. All I wish is these fuckers added Perhaps to it lol

It's a good setlist but just adding at the ENCORE time 2 different songs everyday would feel a lot better they have My Michelle, Nice Boys, Sorry, Catcher, Prostitute, Coma, Locomotive, Street of Dreams, There Was A Time, Yesterdays, Used to love her and much more but they are lazy in all aspects

Even more if they don't want to add 2 different songs everyday and just move the order of the songs that we don't know what is the next one It would be good, I'm fucking tired of Easy the first song, you have Nightrain and WTTJ to do It, they did not were able to do It in fucking 7 years It's incredible

Ugh. No Locomotive for this show.

 

but at least no Witchita and Seeker(didnt check past setlist of this tour).

German crowds(at least those around me) dont sing or rock n roll much except on November Rain, Patience and some choruses.

I was the only one singing Bad Obsession and Pretty Tied Up even.

Funny story. Woman beside me was lactating and she had this apparatus to gather the milk. She offered it to us. Someone(an older guy) actually drank it.

Brilliant! 

[GNRmello77]

Cramping up in the trains to get back lol,50k people going home! it was amazing!! The band and Axl were top level, I saw them twice last year and I can safely say that they outdid themselves especially compared to 2022, top notch performance. Axl was 20 times better than last year and the whole band seemed to be so into it! Civil war was a 10 out of 10 and it was really magical to hear bad obsession, down on the farm, anything goes and PTYU live for the first time!! Hell bad obsession brought me to tears lol, but really guys N' girls, being there on this tour will blow your minds! It's like GN,'R reinvented themselves live wise. Anyone doubting should go. I know everybody dislikes the long RQ but I must say 4tus solo was amazing, his guitar was tuned up to perfection! Playing such sweet notes amazing! Right after don't cry I expected PC but then they just threw Shadow in our falces hell yeah

Smoke em if you got em!!

At Knockin' On Heaven's Door Axl Rose jocked about the big lettering "FRANKFURT" which are painted on the chairs on side grandstand

 

The letters "FRANK..." were covered by the crowd. The letters "...RT" were coverd by the stage sidescreens. Axl saw a big FU on the side.... Fuck You :-D

To be fair. I heard Perhaps (instrumental) live and for me Slash sounded very good. Really UYIish

Locomotive is not an equal swap fro YCBM, ones a huge song that is a fan favourite, lots of fare weather fans know it too, the other is the deepest of deep cuts. 

But I get what you were shooting for and agree, they could easily enough have those songs as opposites... I also love the idea of ISE not beingthe opener. I'd go one step further and take Paradise City from the closing spot. KOHD as closer would work well, big sing along, people always love a sing along.

Definitely had a UYI vibe. Hopefully we hear it sometime this year with vocals

Axl looks to be in much better shape, he looks less "fat" than Slash... and Axl almost did a handstand on Bad Obsession the other day😄

[SAU3R]

here’s the stuff I filmed. i thought it was a good show though nowhere near Hannover and Nijmegen 2017. The setlist was great even though I’d loved some additional deep cuts ala locomotive, SOD or TWAT.

The sound however was all over the place sadly (definitely not the bands fault). At times it was too quiet and the suddenly too loud again. Also the instrument mix wasn’t good, they never turned 4tus (and sometimes als slash’s guitar) up until a couple of bars in the solo. Dizzys backing vocals were louder than Axl at some points and his keyboard during the RQ noodling was first barely audible and then suddenly louder than everything else. It was like the sound engineers didn’t know the songs. Also Axl was way too loud sometimes and something weird happened during the very end of Anything Goes but I’ll have to rewatch that again. Crowd on the field looked good, the people in the stands obviously were most into SCOM and NR but also most other songs got some good cheers. If I see them again, it’ll be in the Golden Circle again though, where I’m not the only one singing „pussy full of maggots“

And there is the problem. We all want the new songs, extra Illusion songs and songs that haven't been played in decades, but 75% of the people in the building have no idea what they are. I lost my mind when they pulled out Dead Horse and Locomotive in Oklahoma City a few years back, and I was the only one in our vicinity who did. No one knew them, but the entire arena was up for grabs when SCOM started.

I hear it is the breast.

[Stay.Of.Execution]

Another good one. Probably the roudiest crowd so far, at least at some spots of the GC. Plus the loudest crowd so far for sweet child. Glad that don't cry seems to be a staple now, also Shadow was a nice treat. Hope Rome won't have a curfew, I could use another 3.5hr show.

 

I was kinda shocked by how fast the lithos sold out there. Also the event shirts were gone really fast. Frankfurt seemed well into it. 

 

PS: at this point it's so obvious that Melissa seems to be bored out of her mind. Don't know what her issue is. But I don't need a bored musician on that stage tbh

[SAU3R]

Also Axl was very talkative, probably as much as in my other 5 shows 17-18 combined. His voice is what it is these days but he’s got some songs where he still sounds great and as others already said, he certainly gives all he got and puts on a great show. I also enjoyed slash’s solo today as I didn’t know what to expect and Richards playing still gets me everytime, he kinda overplays without overplaying, he plays loads of notes but they all make sense and they’re well structured and thought of
