Title: A cool idea for the St. Louis concert?
Post by: Spirit on March 15, 2017, 04:51:41 PM
What if they decided on "finishing the concert they once started"?

Meaning, playing the same songs as the night of the riot, and then completing the concert with the remaining songs on their setlist.

They didn't really use a setlist during that period, but they could fill in songs they played regularly at the time (meaning the concerts they did right before and after the riot show).


It could look like something like this:

1. Perfect Crime
2. Mr. Brownstone
3. Live And Let Die
4. Dust N' Bones
5. You Could Be Mine
6. Patience (w/ I Was Only Joking intro)
7. Double Talkin' Jive
8. November Rain
9. Welcome To The Jungle
10. Civil War
11. 14 Years
12. Godfather Theme
13. Rocket Queen

--- The following is a prediction of what it could've been ---

14. Sweet Child O' Mine
15. Bad Obsession
16. It's So Easy
17. Right Next Door To Hell
18. Knockin' On Heaven's Door (w/ Only Women Bleed intro)
19. Nightrain
20. Estranged
21. Paradise City

Or maybe they could just play the last half and claim they were only taking a small break between Rocket Queen and SCOM. :hihi:

Fun for us - maybe not as much for the audience..

I think that's well doable. It's happened in sports when the weather or some other unforeseen incident distrupted the event. Typically it's continued in about 24 hours.

But what difference does it make if it's after around 24 years. Just bring your original ticket or some other proof of purchase like an email confirmation :peace:

When Springsteen got the power cut on him for running over curfew, next gig he turned up with a massive power switch on stage, got someone to turn it on and finished the song he was playing from the gig, picking up exactly where he was cut off!

Sounds like an urban legend but surely no one could make that up ;D

It would be cool to know how many people from the previous gig were also there. If it was anywhere near then quite a few probably.

I think we'll have Axl's long apology, right?

Thank you for the insight, pretty weird stuff. Only God knows how this goes around Europe. There will be curfews but how they are reacted upon.

The British are kind of known for having a curfew fetish. Finland isint much better to be honest.

It's totally true!

England is crazy for curfews- especially at outdoor shows. It's pretty tiresome to be honest, the total lack of any flexibility whatsoever.

Going by their record this past year, curfews shouldn't be an issue for Guns. They'll adjust accordingly.

I imagine he'll say something.

When he did the UCAP show here in Philly in 2012, we got a pretty decent apology.  And even this past July at Lincoln Financial Field, he thanked us all for coming out, but added "though I would understand if you didn't, and I was the man guy with that."

It was a nice touch, I thought.

Not s. If deal.. Play the show as any other...But it would make good press an apology a "let's see if we can finish RQ this time"..

Exactly. Japan shows started at 7pm or something because of whatever local laws. But really there should be some flexibility anywhere. What is there to gain if some really big for real rock band goes 10mins over?

It would not mean that the local band next week would do the same or any disrespect towards some in power. If the local residents complain about something they will do that in cold november rain anyway.
