great review...nails what Axl means to us Axl-ites.

"Yet Rose's dramatic deliveries turned several sweeping ballads into poignant meditations on unrequited love ("November Rain"), anguished loss ("This I Love") and antagonistic relationships ("Sorry"). A cathartic reading of "Estranged," a 1991 epic dusted off for this tour, presented in intimate fashion the emotional dichotomies, illusory perceptions and inward struggles that have seemingly consumed Rose throughout his career. In opting for vulnerability over anger, and sentimentality over menace, the less-reckless Guns N' Roses reticently hinted at redemption. Too bad it's taken so long."

I can read 9 words in that review!

im not kidding either when i say extreme making out - one sucking others tongue while out of mouth at one point

were not talking the usual "look at us" we're straight but we like to make out for 5  secs for attention

these girls looked straight but made out like they were gay

Notes and Highlights from show:

- axl's voice was spot on again.

- cd songs got a good reception

- richard fortus provides much more to the set in quality and in quantity then he gets credit for. he pretty much owned the final third of the show.

- shacklers revenge which i am not a huge fan of and found the live boots to be even worse, was actually quite entertaining live and in person for the first time.       

- two chicks were sucking face for extended periods of time as seen on the jumbo tron several times in between songs and during november rain.

- knocking on heavens door is waaaaaaay too long but the crowd seemed to dig it.

- crowd was diverse in age.

- rowdy crowd:

there was one stage dive that i noticed

i have yet to hear what definitely happened but early in the show i saw what looked to be fortus retrieving his guitar from the crowd while security converged

while playing an instrumental, bbf was pointing at someone and flicking him off and gesturing for him to come up on stage.

several arrests throughout the night that i had no clue as to what happened

- the boots dont give any of these songs justice

- i have seen them in '92, '02, '06, and '11

............this was by far the best performance

if you are going i reccomend getting good seats or floor over far away seating. the sound was good but i regret not getting more up close and personal this time around.

I ended up going with my brother. got lower level seats off the street for 35 a piece. unfortunately the guy selling them had a map that showed them as stage left when they were actually at the opposite end of the stage which was fine but someone else was about to sell us 5th row - stage left for 50 a piece and we wouldve taken that over being so far away.

axl was amazing, band was amazing - ill write more later tonight.
