It was great...very good production and lighting rig...one of the best I have seen and I go to alot of concerts....I was on the left side of the stage....so very close when all members walked that left pedway...I have never been that close before except for a U2 concert...really liked the set list and liked the James Bond solo and was very glad "this I love" was played and also liked all the songs that were played off the new CD that I purchased when it came out. (All of my favorites)
Sebastian Bach was excellent and really got the crowd going and slapped hands with someone close to me. Also Bumblefoot did an American salute when he walked to the end of the pedway of the left side and then the next time he came up the pedway he waved to the crowd above me and said hi. I thought it was cute and funny. He also played O Canada at the end which was nice.
Axl Rose gave a shot of what was in that bottle at the end (Tequila I think) to one of the security guards at the front of the stage and it looked like he gave him a piece of his jewellery. It was something anyway. I thought it was incredible. When I saw B.B. King for the first time he did the same thing and gave a piece of his jewellery to a young girl about 16.
The crowd was very receptive and I would definately go to the next Guns N' Roses concert near me. Incredible. Thanks GNR, Sebastian Bach and Danko Jones for a night I will never forget.
Does anyone know the amount of people that attended Brandt Centre last night as the rink area (standing was right full and most of the seating was taken). I'm guessing about 6500.
For all you waiting for the Eastern Canada dates...you are in for one great show and night. Have fun. :
