What did you think of the show? I thought it was one of their best.

My friend went to that show and said it was really good.

What songs did they cover?

Where was your friend standing? We were toward the front but not super close. Hey, did your friend happen to take pix? I'm upset that I didn't bring my camera--I didn't want to risk having to check it (ticket said no cameras).
My cell phone pix were not great, per usual. They played VR, STP and GNR. The crowd seemed to want to hear GNR more than anything. They played Sucker Train Blues, Big Machine, Fall to Pieces, Set me Free from Contraband and from Libertad--She Mine, American Man, I think they played Let it Roll--and mixed it up with Patience, Sex Type Thing (my fav--in encore), Vaseline, and others. Played Slither in encore too. 2 hours. I've seen them 4 times now, and this was the best for me--even tho the crowd was a bit f-d up.
