Now that i'm home i can write a small review. Place was packed except for the far right and left of the lawn. The middle and seats were filled completely. If there were less than 15,000 there i'd be surprised. Axl was in a great mood and sounded better then i've ever heard him. He didn't talk too much. I think they were on a tight schedule as evidenced by the 3 missing songs. Better, Riff Raff and Schackler's revenge. He told a few short stories. Before Estranged he talked about a woman today who said he was like Bram Stoker, sleep all day up all night.  Later on he referenced how long it had been since he was in Dallas. He seemed to forget the tour with Metallica cause he referenced last playing the Bronco Bowl which is no longer. He also talked about how nice of a night it was for November. Thanked the crowd several times. At the end he said sorry for not coming to Dallas for such a long time and promised it would not be as long before they are back. At the end you could kinda tell they were rushing to finish cause the encore break was a matter of twenty seconds if that. All in all it was a fantastic show they and axl sounded great. I was a little bummed they skipped Better tonight. I love that song. My only complaint was during KOHD the crowd really sucked at the sing along. They were so bad i could hear myself above everyone but that's just a small part that wasn't good. The rest was just great.

I would agree with the review. We were in section 201, second row. Great show. His voice sounds amazing. I told my friend that it was almost as if you could close your eyes and it was 1991 again. My only complaint was no Better and no Shacklers, two of my favorite songs. I could have done without This I Love which is one of the weakest. But overall it was a great show and I am so grateful that the band FINALLY made it to Dallas.

Am thinking about driving to Oklahoma for the show on the 9th, have to see if the wife will let me out of the house unsupervised.

Yeah no Better was a shock. I don't even know the last time they didn't play it. I was expecting to hear it after Sorry or Estranged.

LOL wheelchair and walkers. I don't think it will be another 20 years. I hope next time is at AAC though so they can play their full 3 hour set.

Amen to that, still can't figure out why they weren't there this time. Neither Mavs nor Stars had a game.
Maybe the rent is too expensive and they weren't sure if they could sell out?
I saw Ozzy there back in early Feb. '11 and the place was almost but not completely sold out.
AC/DC always sells out AAC. But maybe the promoters were not sure about Guns.

The reason they weren't at AAC i assume was cause at the time they scheduled there was a Mavs game scheduled. The first two months of the season hadn't been cancelled at the time so the date hadn't been released for use yet.

 I wanted to give it a day to sink in before I wrote the review, plus football was on all day. This was my first time to see them since 1993. I must say this was a Epic show! The crowd impressed me as it stood up for the whole show, thinned out a litttle around Midnight but who cares. The crowd was really into the CD songs just as much the older songs, which suprised me in a positive way.
    The band, what can say..Amazing.  They are true masters of their craft and you can tell they love doing what they are doing.  The audience really feeds off of them.  Bumble and DJ really stood out to me.
   As for Axl, the earlier reviewer who said you could close your eyes and felt like your were back in the early 1990's was dead on. Axl voice was great, he had a ton of energy and knows how the work the crowd. Any person who watches Youtube and forms an opinion of Axl or the band, without seeing them in person is missing out. Youtube can never do a band justice.
  As a diehard GNR fan, I had a pretty good idea what the setlist would be but that did not diminish my excitement at all.  My only tweak to the setlist is to move Maddy out the encore slot or remove it all togther and replace it with Better, IRS, or some other rockers. The crowd was not into Maddy at all but Paradise City more then made up for it and is the perfect way to end the show. I hope GNR comes back soon as AXL promised.
   My only gripe has nothing to do with the band but the Gexza Venue.  I love a cold beer or 3 as much as the next guy but 12 FUCKING bucks for a beer is insane!!!

I hear ya on the prices of food and drinks at Gexa. Its ridiculous how much they charge. I think a burger is like ten bucks.
