Sorry the updates cut off during the show, my cell phone was being really weird.

Great to meet some more htgth members at the show! Hope everyone had a blast and got home safe.

Was a great time, cool venue, also you can smoke indoors in the Casino part which was fantastic.

"don't take no shit from the Po-po!" - Axl at the end of the show

Best show I have seen yet. I'm looking forward to the Orlando and Miami shows.

It was great meeting Destry and Sal.. And of course, it's always a good time with the infamous Cotis.

Also Dizzy loved my Dizzy Fucking Reed shirt I'm glad he saw it!

6 days.

Sorry late to the board but getting home at 4 in the morning kicked my ass!!  not much more to add that hasn't been said but this was my 20th show & Axl sounded the best he ever has!!

My highlites: 

 AxL reading my sign & giving me a big thumbs up & meeting BETA BEFORE THE SHOW-i was so early (yeah that was me the bald guy who was 1st in line) that she just came strolling by & we talked for quite a long time as if we were old friends- she truly is a very sweet & down to earth woman & i really just enjoyed our conversation- IF U read this : IT WAS A PLEASURE MEETING &TALKING WITH YOU BETA!  it says alot aboUT AXL that he has someone like Beta as such a close person in his life.

THANK U GNR FOR PLAYING THESE SPECTACULAR INTIMATE LIVE SHOWS!

This is cool and all, but maybe you should use the shows own thread to post this in. I also think that if this is going to stay as it's own thread, you should really change the thread name to a more descriptive title.

Glad you had a good time at the show though, and yes Dizzy rocks. 

[cotis]

Oh Peep - this belongs in the Atlantic City thread....DUH! What is wrong with you?!?

It was wonderful seeing you guys, thanks for coming up to NJ and not bailing like someone else... (Efish)...

Have fun in Orlando and Miami!!!

This was my 3rd UCAP show, and my favorite!  You could tell Axl was giving it 110% despite being sick and his voice still sounded so powerful on songs like Shackler's and Better.  Each show I've seen the band just seems to be having more and more fun out there together and it's so great to see them all smiling and laughing.  Loved when Tommy borrowed the fan's fedora to wear for a song, happy to hear You're Crazy & I Used to Love her (missing from the 1st 2 NY shows), I got DJ's drumstick during Madagascar, I could go on and on about awesome things from this show.  I've also met so many great fans between the 3 shows.  

I know it won't make much economic sense for them, but wouldn't it be great if they continued with the UCAP style shows?  It's going to be so hard going back to seeing them in arenas after this!

[Alfie Bones]

Not only did Tommy borrow the fedora, but he was trying to get it on right and Axl came over mid-song and straightened it out for him while he was singing. It was a moment I'll never forget.

[Bodhi]

Just got home from AC. Kick ass show! Axl looks & sounds like he's almost done with his sick bug. Was in good spirits & loved the crowd - pretty loud & responsive. Not too crazy but just really energetic & giving Axl & the band lots of love & Axl commented on it a few times.

Opening band Last Vegas rocked & definitely going to pick up their album (s).

Had very real cool people around me - met Cotis from here & two awesome gals from Florida - Jenna & Diane. Diane had an awesome "Dizzy Fuckin' Reed" t-shirt on that she got to show him & he very much appreciated!  So cool!

Great show, great night. My 19th G N' R show and it never gets old!  Can't wait for #20 

Nice to meet you man!!

Was a killer show as you said, I think that the best concert I've seen is always the last one - just keep getting better.

Bodhi, I know you'll see this - great to finally meet you man!


Still haven't gone to bed yet, got no voice - it's like Vegas all over again!

great meeting you too, yeah it was a great show.  One of the better ones I have been to, I really like that venue a lot.

[sjgotnitro]

Im speechless right now.  I finally was able to get logged in. Thank You jarmo 

This show was kick ass. I have seen them 7 times so far. This by far was the best show.

My wife got a drum stick. I had my hands on Axls mic but I let go of it becasue the other guy fairly had a better grip on it.

I meet Dj afterwards. What a nice guy.  my damn phone was dead I could not get a picture

I saw Dizzy and Tommy walking fast around casino floor like crazy men.  They did not stay in one place for long. 

So much to say but I'm speechless right now, I just won tickets for tonights show. 

I told my wife we need to get the other drum stick to make a pair.

Guns N Roses House Of Blues Atlantic City Photos

Guns N' Roses rocked House of Blues in Atlantic City Saturday. The show began at 12:10 a.m. and didn't end until at 3:15. The capacity crowd at House of Blues was not disappointed. Axl Rose and GunsN' Roses played all the hits during a hard-driving set.

ACPluggedIn.com photographer Angela Broderman was on hand to photograph Axl and company and her images are featured in the gallery to the right.

Here's my pictures of the above....they're not the greatest because it caught me off guard and I rushed...but still a funny reminder of a special show moment.  Seriously the best concert of my life 





Sorry, first time posting pictures!  I will figure out how to re-size before next time!

[Axl4Prez2004]

Thanks for posting the pics...I noticed the extreme care Axl was using to ensure Tommy's hat wasn't coming apart.  Funny as hell. 
Damn Axl was in a great mood!  Axl, whatever ya had for breakfast that night, keep eatin' it.

I have a couple of pictures, but no video-don't know if that helps at all.  I'm guessing maybe you want video for Axl's "advice" to us at the end of the show?
