Re: Wilkes-Barre, PA - Mohegan Sun Arena (Nov. 20, 2011)
i was there last night. awesome show. this is the best lineup and best gnr show since slash quit. Axl was in a great mood, laughing all night, joking, told a funny story. the band interacting with the fans is really cool to see. it's just a fun night.
Axl's voice sounded great on most songs. it was funny...he actually had a bit of a rasp going on LALD and YCBM. i think he sang them both in a little lower register. Nightrain and PC he kinda had the higher pitched voice going that i'm not a fan of. but when you are there and getting into the music and having fun, it doesn't sound bad. it's not perfect, but it still sounds good.
there were a couple times where his voice needed to be a little higher in the mix - CD for sure. but you could hear him, so i can't really complain. and like i said, there may have been only 1 other song where i was thinking that.
i was disappointed we got a "shortened" set. crazy to say that for a 2:45 show but i was expecting to hear Better. and SR is one of my favs and would love to hear that live. would also love to see nice boys. but, oh well.
also, i'm not a fan of overdoing it on solos, but when you are there watching they are enjoyable. so it's not as bad as it seems on paper.
the only thing i would change is replacing one or two of the slower songs with rockers. especially if they are not doing the 3 songs i listed above because then the slow to rocker ratio is really out of wack.
but major thumbs up. can't wait to see them saturday!

yes, i saw them a few times on the 2006 tour. post-slash, i have seen the following shows:
2001 - Vegas (hard rock)
2002 - Chicago (allstate), New York (MSG), Philly**
2006 - 2 hammerstein shows, MSG, baltimore
2011 - wilkes barre
the 2006 shows were incredible. in baltimore, they were on fire and played Down on the Farm. total surprise!
but this show was just a little bit better. it's longer, louder, and a bigger production. a bunch of screens, big stage, explosions. the addition of Estranged is HUGE for me, as are Sorry, TIL, and Whole Lotta Rosie. and i'm a big DJ Ashba fan. and like i said, the whole band is having fun and just seems to be really into it.

I agree. Estranged alone puts 2011 ahead of any other year since 1993.
