| Notes: Longest show on this tour so far, over three hours. The band jams on the Rolling Stones' Waiting On A Friend while the piano is brought out for November Rain. It's followed by Axl playing Elton John's Someone Saved My Life Tonight. Before Whole Lotta Rosie, Bumblefoot plays some Number Of The Beast riffs. Whole Lotta Rosie is played with the piano out. It was brought out for the next song in the set, This I Love, but ended up being used on both songs. "A little impromptu there. I just can't believe I remembered the fucking verses. I think I sang that last time at the Marquee in England." Plenty of surprises and first performances in the set. Tommy sings a cover of the Dead Boys' Sonic Reducer. The band starts playing Don't Cry, Axl sings it but they don't perform the song in full. They then start Paradise City. | |

| Notes: The longest show in GN'R history. The band jams a bit on the Diana Ross' "Love Hangover" and Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" before If The World "Ever feel like you're in a, perpetually in a bad episode of The Simpsons? [Bumblefoot plays the Simpsons theme song] No see, he had another cartoon, and I was actually in that one. Used to be in the L.A. Weekly. The angriest dog in the world. He was just paralyzed at the end of his chain. That's all the cartoon was!" After the song, Axl tells the crowd a story about This I Love: "When we were putting that song together, we had all this other stuff done, before that little wind part. And the wind part was our little joke. So like, we're listening to like "OK is the timing right? Is the modulation on the piano right? There's that stupid wind part!" It was really fun. And after that, I call the next section with the horns… I don't know why, but that's my Deer Hunter section. Mr Pitman, the disco destroyer… Mr Chris Pitman he wrote the Deer Hunter section." Before Patience, Axl sings Glen Campbell's Rhinestone Cowboy. | |
