    I enjoyed the show. Couldn't help but compare to a PJ show. GnR has a nonstop video show going in the background. They played a long setlist--some songs I didn't recognize and a few I was reminded of. They played over three hours. The audience was a little passive, but there wasn't much back and forth with the audience. Towards the end, there was more--knocking on heaven's door. I wasn't too surprised to see Mike show up, as we know plays with Duff from time to time. That was a terrific burst of energy at the end. Slash was amazing. It seemed like Axl needed a bit of a rest--there was a tent he went into most times when a long guitar solo/dual was happening. He changed his tshirt five or ten times--maybe they sell them. They struck me as guys (and gal) who love what they do, and were committed to giving a great show, which I thought it was. I'm a little more into this stuff than those who came with me, but they walked away very happy. No doubt highlight for me was Mike at the end joining the band. Us Seattle locals are lucky for some of these guest appearances--I've seen Ed at a couple shows. We're also just lucky to have these guys supporting the community, truly.
    I think he goes there to get oxygen.

    Previously my guess would have been donuts but it looks like he pushed them away.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    It was just a little. Let's just hope Mike never goes on stage with Motley Crue when they are in town.

    The only reason I would entertain going is if you couldn't tell how bad it sounds when in person.   Seeing Pearl Jam you think Given to Fly was awesome, and then you listen to the bootleg and thinkg Ed really struggled with the chorus on that one.
