Open air, looks like a nice evening for a concert.

Does anyone think Perhaps will be played tonight? I missed it by 3 days.

Does anyone think Perhaps will be played tonight? I missed it by 3 days.

I would be 99.9% positive that they will

[Spirit]

Hell, go all-in and play The General as well!

[Oliver]

Waiting for them to start playing The General at soundcheck soon. 

[cineater]

The General is the song I'm most waiting to hear.

[cineater]

Was live, just collecting some people to check later.

Loved Axl's intro:
Forgive me if I don't run around and try to project? as much, cause I'm gonna try to figure out how to fucking sing it live and I'd like to think when we wrote this song it was like the Immaculate Conception    

This is the kind of song Axl struggles with the most, specially the high parts. But I'm sure as the tour goes on, he'll get more used to sing it live.

As per Slash's solo, sounds way better than the studio version!

[Spirit]

Good live debut! I think Axl did a fine job, the aggressive parts was even raspier live I think.

I agree on the high parts in the verses, he'll figure out how to keep up the volume on those.

Tbh the song it’s pretty easy to sing even for a novice… I thought this was a good song for him.. don’t think about the chorus that ok is the higher part and u can struggle there, but he can’t hold the baritone tone without switching to falsetto during the other parts so i don’t know what to think. Or he’s so used to sing in falsetto that he can’t sing ‘normal’ or his voice is so damaged that he struggles even singing that way . He really has to work on it

I made the trip from Buffalo down to this show. Was about 3 people from the front of the stage in the pit. 3rd time seeing this lineup, 5th time total. Good show. The setlist included 9 songs I hadn't seen performed before, including the live debut of Perhaps. Including the aforementioned intro Axl gave, you could see a little bit of nervousness as to how it would come out. It was very enjoyable.

The band was pretty tight, Axl gave it his all throughout. While his voice isn't in his prime, it is definitely better live than on cell phone recordings.

They played from 8-11 as curfew put a cap on it but seemed like they wanted to play longer. They went straight into the "encore" section with no fake ending going off stage for 5 minutes and coming back out. Seems like they cut Patience because of the curfew. Very glad to have gone.

Fun setlist! Happy to see “Don’t Cry” made an appearance and loved they played “Perhaps”.

Look out, we got ourselves an expert here

For those who aren't fans of American football- The Pittsburgh Steelers were involved in a famous football play called the Immaculate Reception. I think Axl was cheekily referencing that with this intro.

Yeah there are definitely parts where he switches to falsetto when he doesn't need to. The entire verses and pre-choruses should just be his low register. He does a similar thing in Brownstone where he'll jump to falsetto when he could still be using his low register instead. But I could be wrong, obviously I don't know where his chest voice ends and falsetto begins, only he does.
