What a show!
Axl was simply brilliant, despite what at the official reviews say this morning!

 The crowd was BIG, the pressure from behind for people to get up in front was huge and everyone was excited. The fans began forming a line already at the festival opened and within a few hours the security didn’t know what to do with all of us so they decided to let us in at the band before Guns N* Roses and let us stay in front of the stage, even though the procedure usually is, you’re only let in for one concert, the area is then emptied and then filled again for the next band (for security reasons).

 

 

 Needed to say that Milena and I were in the front row, centre of the stage?

 Guns N Roses went on stage at 21.55, 5 minutes before officially announced!

People was complaining at the time, wondering and worrying if they’d really hit the stage as promised, because some paper had changed the time for the concert from 22 to 21 even though the official program said 22.

 Axl and co took stage filled with energy and Axl was on fire, energetic, humoristic and he and his voice was in top form!

They began as always with Welcome to the jungle and carried on as we’ve seen it, in the past shows.

 Axl had a blast on stage, blowing our heads off with his amazing energy and voice! At some point he was joking around about his arrest in Sweden, being quite self-ironic and even “beat himself up” on stage, pretending to fall down and commented on it with a, I don’t need anyone to beat me up, I can do it myself and laughed out loud.

 There was a few to many pauses in between the songs where the band was kind of jamming a bit, people chanting for Guns N’ Roses and the solos were absolutely too much. I’m sorry to say it but not every single member needs to be soloing for ages to prove themselves, they do a very fine job playing all the songs, really, but it took time from the set list to have them playing around…

 They played a absolutely fantastic 2,15 hour show!

The new songs played were The Blues, Better and CD.

 After the encore the band came out on stage again, holding each other and bowing, thanking the crowd.
