They played a lot of the old stuff, majority of the songs were from appetite/UYI/Lies and about 9 or so from the new album. And some unexpected stuff was axl doing a bit of Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall and Bumblefoot doing the Pink Panther theme. Not to mention bringing out Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys to sing Liquor and Whores with GNR which was pretty fun.

I would see them again for sure. It was a good time. And yeah, they didn't start until 11:15 when they were scheduled for 9 but I knew this going in and didn't get there till after 10. They played till 2am, nearly a 3 hour set which bands rarely do these days. I could see if you had no idea you might be a little pissed but Axl has never been one for going in on time. I think he does it on purpose for whatever reason. Man, there were some real strange looking people. From hot chicks in leather pants to skinheads to old mulletheads. People watching at these thing can be fun.

Setlist was:
1. Chinese Democracy
2. Welcome To The Jungle
3. It's So Easy
4. Mr. Brownstone
5. Sorry
6. Better
7. Richard Fortus Guitar Solo
8. Live And Let Die
9. If the World
10. Dizzy Reed Piano Solo
11. Street Of Dreams
12. Instrumental Jam
13. Rocket Queen
14. Scraped
15. DJ Ashba Guitar Solo
16. Sweet Child O' Mine
17. You Could Be Mine
18. Instrumental Jam
19. Axl Rose Piano Solo
20. November Rain
21. Instrumental Jam
22. Bumblefoot Guitar Solo
23. Out Ta Get Me
24. Knockin' On Heaven's Door
25. Nightrain
Encore:
26. Instrumental Jam
27. Liquor & Whores with Bubbles
28. Patience
29. This I Love
30. Shackler's Revenge
31. Madagascar
32. Paradise City
Cool, thanks for the review!

I gotta check it out if they'll be anywhere near.
