Title: VR at Donington!

Another great show by the lads.

This was the 6th time I've seen them, but the first time outdoors. They can only really headline festivals after a performance like this.

Pretty much the standard set, with only Illegal I, Crackerman, and You Got No Right the changes from the Glasgow show (yep, I was at that one as well).

I would not rule out a headline spot in the next 2 years... :peace:

cool how packed was the place? Was it a festival like back in the gnr days.... Gnr didn't headline until like 91 right?? is tha tthe right wording.. I mean they usually opened before that time epriod..? Maybe wrong.. I was watching axl's interview wwith kurt loder in the start of the 90's when he talked about his foot heel injury and the band getting trainers and shit.. I think thye mentioned being headliners in that interview..??  ???

I saw Guns 4 times between '91 and '93; Wembley Stadium holds about 70,000+ and Milton Keynes holds about 60,000+.

Yesterday at Donington, VR were the last act on before the original Black Sabbath. The 'official' capacity is allegedly 65,000. I was at the front of the pit during the set, but the place was pretty well damn packed out.

Loads of VR shirts, and a few hundred people in GN'R shirts as well.
