Re: Detroit, MI - The Palace (December 1, 2011)
Fat encore, five songs in an encore is reminiscent of the UYI shows.
Riff Raff still is unnecessary, especially when they could've plugged Scraped or Oh My God in there.
Standard set they've been playing.
According to Stacey... "better than Chicago, and Chicago was amazing!"
Re: Detroit, MI - The Palace (December 1, 2011)
Thanx for the updates, Axlin, Russ and Stacey!
From the reports, it seems like yet another great show!
Very cool that so many great posters on here are getting their GNR-fix on these days! Been a long time coming for most of you!

killingvector wrote:The stage was apparently pushed to midcourt/midarena due to the low ticket sales. The upper levels have been draped over. Attendance estimated at less than 7k.
Russ says... "Not even close to being true" about the stage
Agrees with the less than 7,000 assessment.
As far as I can tell, the stage is set up right about where the arena starts to curve (if you know what I mean).
Wouldn't call that "pushed to midcourt/midarena"
Re: Detroit, MI - The Palace (December 1, 2011)
thanks 4 updates & to axlin for writing/numbering the songs correctly!
i am one of the few who isn't bothered by Riff Raff..
i used to complain about the set not changing so i just wanna say i think it's fucking near perfect these days
Re: Detroit, MI - The Palace (December 1, 2011)
yeah stage is set up at the curve. so anything that is beyond that is "dead space" jsut the nature of the huge stage setup
hey russ hop you had a good one! cant wait for pics and review!
EDIT: not to bog this thread down with hamilton attendnace i have posted one in the hamilton thread as kind of a carry over to the attendnace dicsussion in here
but hamilton i am gussing was around 8k with the upper bowl closed off was still a hell of a show, dunno what attendnace has to do with show quality

Re: Detroit, MI - The Palace (December 1, 2011)
I bought my tickets directly through The Palace and received no email saying the stage would be a half court.
It appears it is indeed an end stage.
The email was sent out. There are members at the GnRBar who received the notification of the 'intimate theater' set up. In fact, they were alarmed because they were worried their seats may have changed.
As I mentioned in my post, other arenas have moved the stage to midcourt under these circumstances. I made that clear in my post.

^No other GNR shows have had midcourt setups. There was a false rumor about that in Chicago, and I assure you, it was end stage, and the beotch was a capacity crowd.
I didn't say that other G&R shows did.
