Got to the Palace of Auburn Hills around 8pm.

There was a local band on stage when I got to my seats. Didn't catch their name.

Next up was the Suicide Girls which was impressive. Nice moves, & the tall blonde is my future ex-wife.

Baz hit the stage around 9:30pm. I've always been a Skid Row fan but his set just sucked. I was highly disappointed.

 

Got drinks after the set. Some a-hole was claiming that Axl was over in Windsor (Canada) gambling & that they weren't going on until 1am. I sure he got that from a trusted source;)

11:30....I'm getting ready for the lights & here we go......

WTTJ rings out loud.......let the madness begin. For the next 2 hours plus, we're treated to a rebirth. I've seen GnR live many times ('91, Guns/metallica, UYI '93, Vegas shows & several 2002 shows.....but his voice was amazing.

Here's the set list

Jungle

Easy

Brownstone

Live & let die

KOHD

Solos -robin

Sweet Child

Better

YCBM

Solo

The Blues

Solo

Out ta get me

November rain (with jam - moving piano)

IRS

My michelle (w/bach)

Patience

Nightrain

Encore:

CD

Madagascar

Paradise City

I can't remember the order of the other solos....the alcohol started going to my head.

There was a heckler who thru something at Axl. He was pissed. Then, after the encore, the guy was still talking shit. So Axl says "I wouldn't dare encourage anyone, but I hope someone beats your fucking ass before you get out of here.".  I think that guy got hit with beer. Then Axl said " You had to wait til the end of the show didn't you, you f'n p**sy c**t". Classic Axl.

Overall, best GnR show I've seen in a while. The band was unbelievably tight. Frank is still drumming in place of Brain. Ron now has dreadlocks. Pics are attached, but my camera phone doesn't have zoom. Sucks since I was 15 feet from the stage, but they look like I'm far away. I'll also send my roomie's pics once he emails them to me
