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.

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
