Re: 28/9/19 Highland Festival Grounds, Louisville, KY, UNITED STATES
I could do without Black Hole Sun, the Wish You Were Here duet and the Glen Campbell song....now Rhinestone Cowboy might be a different story!
There is a large stretch of the set that is mainly covers. The covers overwhelm the Gnr originals which shouldn't be the case. If Axl can tackle Coma then he can tackle any originals in their catalog.
I would have to agree although it is cool hearing them perform certain songs. Before Cornell died, could you imagine that song in a GNR set?
One more thing ..
This is gonna sound crazy but the show is too long. My show was the show that never ends. We almost left.
I love the fact they give it their all every night but they are going above and beyond the call of duty.
That set list can be tightened up and no one would complain.
Re: 28/9/19 Highland Festival Grounds, Louisville, KY, UNITED STATES
Agree. It is too long, and I would tighten it up by eliminating some of the covers which could include *gasp* KOHD and LALD. It would be way cool to have one show with a setlist of all originals. Seriously. How cool would that be? 
ps. And yes, Chinese Democracy songs can be included! 
Re: 28/9/19 Highland Festival Grounds, Louisville, KY, UNITED STATES
I agree in spirit but unfortunately LALD & KOHD are in the Top 20 most downloaded GNR songs.
They're never leaving the set. They're essentially GNR songs at this point.
They may need to sacrifice deep cuts that hardcore fans enjoy and like you said, more recently added covers.
I thought initially that my desire for a shorter set was just me getting older but it's really too long.

I feel the same. A shorter set might also be easier on Axl's voice. As far as KOHD is concerned, it would help if they reduced its length from 10 to 3-4 minutes...

Absolutely. Giving Axl rest should be a priority.
How's this for a set list?
It's So Easy
Mr. Brownstone
Chinese Democracy
Welcome To The Jungle
Better
New Rose or So Fine
Live And Let Die
You Could Be Mine
Shadow Of Your Love
You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory/Attitude
Civil War
Yesterdays
Blues Jam/Sweet Child O' Mine
Wish You Were Here
November Rain
Knockin' On Heavens Door
Nightrain
ENCORE:
Patience
Paradise City
I realize it's lacking killer deep cuts like Coma and DTJ but it's tighter, no filler, and an added Duff song to give Axl a breather.

This my take of keeping must have tracks with a few of their staples kept.

Sacrificing deep cuts like Maddy and Coma, just regularly not never again. ...But don't they dare take Estranged!
Re: 28/9/19 Highland Festival Grounds, Louisville, KY, UNITED STATES
Outside Dust N Bones, Sonic Reducer was my favorite non Axl song played live. I'd probably leave before Paradise.
I played Witchita Lineman for someone recently and they were near tears. I think that's a song Axl really shines on. The Seeker, too.

Estranged and NR should rotate if both are going to be performed.
I had forgot about DC. The discog is so strong they can leave out hits.
If they put out a new album, they'll have to play a few new songs too.
When new material comes out, only song that will be needed is the new single being promoted.
We are long past the point of new material being shoved down the audience throat a la 1991.
