EvilAsh2015 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) I was there. I couldn't believe the atmosphere of that place. That was by far the best concert I have ever been to. Edited February 20, 2006 by EvilAsh2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatheads Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I was there too. About 6 rows back -center stage. Great night- except for the opening acts I saw them in 010101 in Vegas for the comeback. That was a great night, and will be tough to ever top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axl1962 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I was there with 3 friends. We left Central Illinois about noon. I got a rental car and then we picked up some beer at the gas station putting it in gas station cups and drinking on the way up. We went to my buddy's sister's apartment before the gig, as that's where we were staying. And drank some more before the show. I remember his sister's boyfriend could play guitar he had an acoustic and started playing one in a million and my fucked up friend starts singing it was hilarious.We then had to take subway to the gig and then catch a cab to Allstate. I remember as we were getting in our cab our fucked up friend was trying to buy acid off some homeless guy. We were like what the fuck are you doing, dudes homeless he has no acid. There was no chance I was going to be late for this show. Then after the acid fiasco he gets in the wrong cab. I was starting to get pissed off and said get in the fuckin cab. As we get in the cab i'm in the front with the Middle eastern driver, and my three buddies are in the back. We start driving and a hear a can open. The driver just looks at me without saying anything, I knew my a forementioned friend just cracked a beer. Then when we get to the gig he got his flask confiscated. We missed CKY thankfully but had to endure MMM. I loved the fights in the stands before GNR. I have never seen that much tension at a show in my life. The guy next to us was doing coke it was kinda funny. That took some balls to bring that in. Then Axl hit the stage and all was right in the world.

AmyL Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I was there. On the floor, 20 rows back on the right side. I agree that show was mind blowing and I went to both shows at The Joint in Vegas!! I have seen boots of Chicago and New York and I think Chicago is a better show. Best I have ever seen!!!! And yes a lot of tention at that show. The fights were way out of line. Should have been stopped a lot sooner!! That one up at the top straight back went on forever!!! The whole fucking building new about it before sec. did anything!!I was staying at the same hotel as the bands. Ran into MMM and his guys eating after the show. Didn't talk but gave a wave. My friend saw Robin getting on the elevator. Had a great time. I have sense made a lot of friends that were at that show. But we didn't know each other back then. Its too bad, may never get another chance to hook up.As for the drugs. Nothing unusaul. they are always around. In Vegas I had a guy offer me acid. I told the guy "why the hell would I want that shit? I am already higher than I have ever been, just being here!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock landers Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I was there. I couldn't believe the atmosphere of that place. That was by far the best concert I have ever been to.I was there too, AND at the show in April 1992, and 1992 will never be toped. Even though it was cool as hell to see em in 2002...

Cobra85 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 The video of The Blues from the 2002 Chicago show is the best version of The Blues I think. I think it easily beats all the other so called "best" versions of The Blues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
