Very cool news! I may consider traveling for this.
I wonder if this reunion was intentionally planned so close to the 20 year anniversary of the Illusions.
Out of curiosity, why is this considered VR news?

Had the tickets in the queue, but didn't pull the trigger.
If Izzy were there I'd be all in.

Probably because 3 of those guys are currently in VR.

I actually DIDN'T pull the trigger yet - and am mulling over the VIP Balcony thing....to meet everyone, that would be pretty sweet.
Though I have the fear that it will be a rushed M&G kinda thing...

I bought 2 tickets for the soundcheck/GA. If I'd known about this awhile back I would have saved up for the VIP, they are tax deductible up to $400 and I need the deductions!! I would have loved to have gone to the meet and greet.

Do you think Slash will come on around 9 because its a benefit show and not a tour date?
He said hes doing a song with a group of children.

Dead center on the barrier... Easily one of THE WORST VIP "meet and greet" bullshit that I have ever done. Ran us through a line to get a poster signed, no other memorabilia. Then ran us through and had to take a picture with all artists, plus 5 strangers.

http://yfrog.com/h3djgixj
They
were
playing it, but Dick Manitoba jumped the gun.
He ran out for his God Save The Queen/Kick Out The Jams duties one song early, and unfortunately they halted New Rose after the intro and never went back to it. At least we got to hear it at sound check.
Always good to see the ex-GN'R and current/ex/whatever-status VR guys together... but definitely was not a great show. Kudos to Slash for his work w/ Road Recovery and helping them help kids, but man, the opening Road Recovery acts were brutal. After them, Miggs was at least just "meh". As for Ours... the less said the better.

New Rose really really shoulda been played and i'm very mad at Manatoba about this. God Save the Queen was a train wreck.

Showed up at 4PM for the VIP/Soundcheck meet and greet thing. Lined up in one line, then they split the line. We got our wristbands and then went inside for the soundcheck. Was cool to see everyone practicing and like was said before, it was real unorganized. Slash said multiple times they were making it up as they went. After the soundcheck the VIP got lined up for autographs and photos - except there was NO memorabilia signings, they would ONLY sign the poster provided by the RoadRecovery people. Also, instead of taking photos with your own camera or alone with whoever you want - you had to stand with 6 strangers and get group photos. Really, really poorly organized, and was definitely not worth the money paid. The money goes to a good cause, sure - but I still got shafted by this whole thing. I could have paid the $25 bucks, and been right up front when GA doors opened.
Cool part of the night was getting a picture taken with Jeremy Piven. He was standing side-stage during the soundcheck and I walked over and asked him for a photo if he wasn't busy. After finishing up whatever on his iPhone he jumped down, took a picture with me and ran back up on stage. There was a few other people that wanted pictures but I was lucky enough to grab one.
Was cool to see VR + friends on stage, had an 'okay' time, but still overall it was a meh night.

Yea from what I gather, it was hardly a UYI reunion...more like a Campy Freddy type gig or the Slash and Friends shows. Still looks like they did some cool songs like Mama Kin and Knockin On Heaven's Door.

I've enjoyed watching the videos from it, although I have no idea who any of the lead singers were. It was great to see Slash, Duff, Matt, and Dave on stage together again; and Slash, Duff, Matt, and Gilby.
