Combine this with another topic if you want, but the two warfield dates sept 20 and 21 are now listed on the live nation page.

This is very, very wise to be playing smaller venues. Very glad to see this approach with the tour. It will be profitable because there will be less overhead expenses with the smaller venues.

Is there a choice? After the 2002 tour failure and STILL no album there's no choice but to play small venues in the U.S.

If GNR booked large venues, it would sell out. They aren't though, so lets all just be happy about that and hope for the best when buying tickets.

I didn't think there was a choice in 2002, but they still went ahead and played arenas with no album or single even. ?I'm just curious what's happening this time around, to see if anything truly has been learned from the last tour.

I personally like the smaller venues. ?You get to see the band close no matter where you are. ?I read somewhere that bands prefer the smaller shows because you get to feel the energy from the audience, although you dont make as much money. ?But if GNR sticks with the small venue shows, small venue depending on the city, that would be a great idea.

The bigger shows may be saved for after an announcement or single release. Bands do this sometimes. Not saying thats the case here, but it's a possibility.

the rumored show in Atlanta is for an arena around 10,000 seats....they are probably doing a combo of arenas and theatres...which is smart.

It should also be noted again that the venues in SF, like NY, are Live Nation/Clear Channel venues....I assume they will be promoting the full US tour....obviously differences from the 02 tour are settled.

You had about 15 years to save up money. That's how a bunch of us made it to several concerts on the European tour (5 in my case).

What I mean is that GN'R isn't hitting your town very often, so if you have the chance, go for it. I saved some money on purpose for the European tour in the past few months, and it was well worth it. If you haven't already, start saving some for the US dates guys!

It's really cool they are playing some smaller venues. I'm pretty sure something special will happend at these shows, at least at one of them.
well.... better don`t expect anything. that way you`ll be surprised IF something actually happens...
people were expecting something special for hammerstein (izzy was there....), rock in rio and the last shows of the tour. oh and hammersmith as well.. but we all know what happened there... nothing
oh and mysteron... i don`t like the word soon
but i`m quite sure it`s the right word at the moment

It's pretty exciting how Guns N' Roses tours get announced. As a trickle here and there. It's kinda like a jigsaw.

The Warfield is going to be phenomenal--it holds about 1200-1600 people for a concert, depending upon the set-up.

when i was there there were at least 4,000. it;s a horrible venue to be in the balcony...which holds most seats anyway. sorry.
How did they sell tickets for over double the capacity of the venue?

uggghhhhh 75-60 dollars for tickets , I can not afford that
*crys*
You had about 15 years to save up money. That's how a bunch of us made it to several concerts on the European tour (5 in my case).
No truer words ever spoken. I've had my wife hold back over the past few birthdays and Christmases...it looks like '06/'07 is the real deal.
The Hammerstein was unbelievably awesome, just amazing. Then I was jealous of the Europeans. Now I'm jealous of the west coast U.S. We East Coasters will have our time soon!

Looks like four warm up shows before a big kick off to the tour proper staring with the Inland Invasion. Am I right in thinking GN'R did some small shows with new material before UYI albums and then UYI tour?

They did, man. They did. I hope though, that this is more indicative of the size of shows they're going to be playing, unless they're playing a co-headlining tour or a lot of festivals.
I say start small, let a buzz build with great shows and a great first single, then go in for the kill.

Wasn't this one of the three venues Guns played as a warm up to the UYI tour, along with clubs in New York and LA?
gnrontour.com has all (or most) of gnr's concerts over the years. here's a review from that site....
- Harry Sumrall, Mercury News Music, 5.11.91
Guns N' Roses is an odd group.
The ultra-metal quintet, which rampaged the charts in 1988 with its multi-platinum album "Appetite for Destruction," is scheduled to release not one but two new records of studio material, "Use Your Illusion I" and " . . . II." Odd.
And while it is one of the biggest groups in the country, it hasn't actually played in this country in three years. Odd.
And what does it do before heading out on its upcoming tour but play an unadvertised show at the Warfield Theater on Thursday, in what lead vocalist Axl Rose referred to as a "live rehearsal"? Very odd.
But oddest of all was the way it played at this show. This wasn't a performance as much as a brawl, with Rose and his companions storming and ranting onstage. The bulk of the material was new, so new that Rose sang to a TelePrompTer most of the time. And when he wasn't reading the words, he and his mates were hopping about and making in-jokes and dropping cues and acting like a group that had just dropped in from a garage.
In other words, it was a fine show indeed. One of a kind. Real nasty.
Yes, they did play a familiar song or two, such as "It's So Easy," and "Welcome to the Jungle," which they pounded into a fine powder with their crunching metal chords and slamming rhythms. But most of the rest, such as "Bad Obsession," were straight off the assembly line but just as ornery as the group's warhorses.
Along the way, they did a wonderfully mangled version of Paul McCartney's masterpiece James Bond theme "Live and Let Die," with Rose screeching the words. And guitarist Slash broke off a solo to play "Happy Birthday" as Rose pulled the group's new manager onstage.
What?
Along with the new manager and songs, the group also trotted out a new drummer, Matt Sorum, who was goosed with a timpani stick by bassist Duff "Rose" McKagan during a drum solo.
The capacity crowd loved the whole mess.
This wasn't the sleek, slick show that the group is certain to perform on its upcoming tour -- which makes its way to Shoreline Amphitheater on July 19. This was Guns N' Roses having some fun.
On "Civil War," Slash opened with a spare set of guitar phrases that were sloppy but thoroughly mesmerizing. His solo was ragged and raw but infused with intensity. Rose and the rest then slammed into the song with the same fervor. At the end of its nearly two-hour performance, Slash made a few remarks to the crowd in his usual manner, which is to say that every other word was a copulative adjective. "It's (bleep) great to be in (bleep) San Francisco . . . ," he said. And as he launched into the set's last song, he noted, "You'll know this one when you recognize it."
Right.
With that, he and the group slogged into a tremendous rendition of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." It had all the subtlety of a sledge, with Slash and guitarist Izzy Stradlin' strumming the song's elegiac chords with a jittery grandeur and Rose yelling the words. Guns N' Roses performed it the way all good rockers should: flat out, no holds barred, give a (bleep), and take no prisoners.
What? That was this show in a coconut shell. It shouldn't have added up, but it did. It shouldn't have been good, but it was. If the tour is as good as this rehearsal, everyone should be happy.
Guns N' Roses appears Friday, July 19, at 8 p.m. at Shoreline Amphitheater. Tickets, at $22.50 and $25, go on sale today at 10 a.m.
