Havent got to listen yet, but I'm glad these Chinese cuts have a home in the set list. The surprise appearance of catcher gives me hope we may yet see this lineup's take on IRS.

axl sounds great to me on catcher, not mickey IMO. slash, i dont know. he either isn't getting enough time to rewrite these solos, doesn't care, or simply shreds more in his advanced age and experience.

I don't know why they don't. Simple song to play.

It is super vocally demanding, though, and Axl has been struggling with anything not high register.

I agree.

I think back to that '06 Rock Am Ring performance of IRS and how awesome it was. The way the current lineup is killing literally everything they play, it would be a shame for them not to rock this track. I'm sure that I am in the minority, but I always felt like IRS could have easily been on one of the Illusion albums. A simple, straightforward rocker.

irs has killer vocals. add izzy and slash in their primes and it easily fits on illusions.

Melissa's belting out the backing vocals on Catcher there. I kind of wish Slash had gone back to the original Brian May solo instead of the shred-tastic Ron one, though.

Well......they improved the album version but that wasn't going to be difficult. Album version is just horrid on many levels.

It definitely needs some tinkering. They'll iron out the kinks just like they did with TIL.

CITR one of the last songs I expected them to bust out on this tour. It means just about any CD song is possible at this point.

It also wasn't on the alternate list......which means I was right......the band has its own set list which no one is privy to. Boy would I love to see that.
