Awesome show. I'm tired so I won't post a full review but I just wanted to let you know that the concert was great.
From the begining to the end, everything was (almost) perfect.
Axl was VERY pleased, very enthusiastic. He kept moving and dancing during all the show, was very nice to the crowd and his fellow bandmates.
I never saw Guns n' Roses before but from all the bootlegs I heard I always found Axl didn't sound too good on concert... Well. I must change my judgement because Axl NAILED every song. He sounded awesome.

I don't know if some of you noticed, but it's like he changed his way of singing. He doesn't use his full lenght/power and save it to use it only seldomly. He sorts of sings with a "fake" rasp. Much like a soul music singer.
And it sounds great. Especially on Madagascar for example.
The crowd was happy and like the show, although 95% of the people here probably never heard any of the new tracks, nor did they know who were the bunch of guys on stage. They weren't too receiptive during some solos or during the new tracks because they probably weren't expecting that. At some point you didn't know if it was GnR on stage or a bunch of musicians jamming with each other..I mean it wasn't very "Metal" spirited but I thought it was pretty pretty cool.
The moments I enjoyed the most were definitely Better, Madagascar and IRS. IRS especially (even if it's not my favorite new track) was absolutely wonderful!
But I still don't think any of these song (especially Madagascar) is getting any better without Buckethead. Musically speaking, he definitely added something unique.. an edge of some sorts.
Izzy was there too, and he was pure class as usual.
Axl was at the top of his game tonight.. and I'm sure he can still improve and get even better.
Next, in my opinion, Fortus. I like his style, his playing, the way he moves. I think his guitar sounds the best ot these three talented guitar players.
Finck, Bumble and Dizzy were superb.
It's harder for me to tell for Brain, Pittman and Stintson but I guess they were at least as good as the rest of the band.
At the end of the show, the whole band came onstage, holding themselves and thanked the public, which I thought was pretty cool and overwhelming. I hope some photos will surface soon.
Thanks for reading.
Good night all.
