Is it just me or does it seem like Axl always tells people to take a step back between SCOM and KOHD? ?It's like it's a part of the set. ?Anyhow, thanks for the updates. ?Much appreciated.

Maybe they're trying to make a dvd from different concerts. To preserve continuity they try to keep everything the same.

Too bad, looks like the battery died.

[tonya_ytzerman]

I've only seen him doing it in Auckland. And the crowd there *was* insane. When you turned around, you could see people up in the nosebleed sections jumping and dancing - the crowd down in GA was pretty rowdy too, I saw too many people being carried out who were barely conscious. I guess since Chiba is sold out (and Jarmo says the crowd is wild), Axl's comment might just be in place. So maybe there's no secret meaning behind it after all - Axl says "Good evening <city/country>" every night too, and I think he just means it

Yeah I know, I was just making a joke.  A funny observation.  I just remember that being said at one of the recent concerts.  A coincidence I am sure.  Did they really go onstage at 6:35 Japan time?  Why so early?

[suicide]

Jarmo said it here: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=43477.0

Japanese shows start ealy compared to the rest of the world.

Headlining acts who play in the later afternoonearly evening is normal here.

If you played a concert like the one back in Donnington where two kids died from being crushed, I bet you would be pretty careful for the rest of your career as well.

[TheRaven]

[Farid Bak]

They played Don't Cry? Seriously?

WTTJ
It's So easy
Brownstone
Live and let die
Robin solo
Sweet child
Heaven's door
YCBM
jam
The Blues
band intro into Fortus solo

OTGM
jam
Nov Rain
IRS
Michele (Ax says something like "I'm gonna sing this one all by my lonesome")
Patience
Nighttrain

Encore:
Maddy
PC

Additonal Encore:
Ax says something like: "We're a little confused about what to do right now, because we don't usually do this"
BBF comes out and solos.  He starts into Don't Cry as Axl comes up behind him, crowd goes nuts.  Axl gives a "hold it there sign to BBF" and busts out "Talk to me softy..."

He did the the whole song with Frank joining in later on.



Ok this is confirmed by many Japanese fans. The crowd went nuts from the start. Axl was in extremely high spirits. many say guns put vr to shame.
after pc, axl said 'domo arigato' and they once retired from the stage. the crowd kept calling guns n roses and then, axl reappeared again and played the whole don't cry with dizzy, ron and frank . during the song axl cried. so did the crowd

seems that way an awesome moment from what i read 

[saint seiya]

amazing news! hopefully whoever was bootlegging it didnt turn off the recorder after PC!

[Mr. Madagascar]

Truly amasing?
Axl said some years ago that he would proberly never play Don?t Cry anymore, because of Shannon Hoon dead.
Could this be this be some kind of a year day, or tribute to Shannon Hoon, since he was crying
I almost have tears in my eyes just to hear about him crying on stage.
This must really have ment something special to him.
Axl, you are the man

I believe you ONLY meant Shannon Hoon as Michael Monroe isn't dead...

[Regibold]

Wow.....now this is nice to hear, first Nice Boys, and now Don't Cry. Hopefully he keeps both songs alternating during future shows.

DONT CRY 2007

[novemberparadise23]

axl sounds fantastic

[GypsySoul]

Obviously I'm only guessing but .....

Maybe since because on more than one occasion, Axl kinda sorta unintentionally forgot the part of the show that should be Ron's solo, so to "apologize" Axl called him back onstage and performed Don't Cry with him.

TALK ABOUT YOUR MEGA BIGTIME APOLOGY!!!


But for whatever reason he did it, it's awesome that he did.?

That's an interesting theory.  I doubt it's true.  But I myself was wondering what Ron did for his solo when I heard they played "Don't Cry".  It must've been planned.  I would doubt Axl would let Richard and Robin both have their solos and leave Ron out.  What a fantastic way to end the show though.

[faldor]

Robin solo, scom, axl asks people to take a step back, kohd, ycbm, jam, dizzy solo (angie), blues, jam, intros, 4tus solo & duet (beautiful), better

I know, I was just joking.  Obviously a good move on Axl's part to lookout for the safety of the crowd.  People can get crazy, out of control.

[stolat]

So glad to hear he's singing it again! 

[Booker Floyd]

Im very glad to hear theyre playing it.  Hopefully it remains a staple in the setlist.

I wonder how many in the audience knew that they were seeing something special.

Thank you very much

[metallex78]

Where is Chiba? Is that anywhere near China?

[don_vercetti]

Having listened to the audio, it sounds fairly emotional.  I think there was some ulterior motive behind playing it, other than 'accidentally missing rons solo spot'.  Hope it gets repeated.
