Baz got us rocking and was definitely a crowd pleaser. Though the seats were approx. 3/4 full when he took the stage, he made it sound like the stadium was filled to the rafters. It was a good thing he was there to open, to keep us excited and pumped as the night grew late.

I was skeptical if it really was a sold-out show until the final set when the spotlights waved back and forth across the floor and the stands. People appeared out of nowhere. There was a dull roar of anticipation from the crowd until you heard that all-so-familiar voice scream out, "Do you know where you are?!!!!!!!!!!!!" I was on my feet with the rest of the crowd, fists pumping the air and screaming my response. Unfortunately, they were having some sound problems and we couldn't hear Axl as well as we would have liked during Welcome to the Jungle, but it was obvious he was giving it his all. That didn't stop us from enjoying it any less.

I was impressed how he patiently stopped their performance to have lights directed to the mosh pit so security could help people getting squashed against the railing. His concern was genuine, which made us want him even more!

There was a lot of dry eyes around me when Axl blew us away with November Rain lol I was completely surrounded by people in party mode. The lighter show surrounding me was just as amazing as the light show on stage as it cascaded sparks of rain all around Axl.

Duet highlights for me: Baz and Axl did more than impress us with My Michelle! Bubbles and Axl with Liquor and Whores lmao. It was great... when Bubbles asked the crowd, "Do you know where you are?" His voice cracked as if he was going through puberty again. Too funny and adorable. Ya gotta love him.

People who attended knew it wasn't the original GnR; it would have been Oh so nice to have Slash, Izzy..., but we got our money's worth with Axl backed by Tommy Stinson, Robin Finck, Richard, Ron and Bobby ummm, who am I forgetting? I punked out to Use Your Illusion for the drive home, by the time I got back to town it was after 4:00 AM. I was at work at 9:00 AM, tired yet pleased and I'd do it again.
