I went. It was a really good show
I get how they may have said that as initial impressions stick with you
Early in the set, it was clear he definitely hadn’t spent 2 hours warming up like Kiprusoff. Elected not to chase some high notes he used to.
To make it worse, they had some kind of filter on the vox where it was cutting volume high, but in lower registers was too loud. A bit of a mess. Also guitar levels were off early
They fixed those up during the show, and his vocals improved after he warmed up, certainly by the hour mark. Sound was better the last 2 hours
Slash was an absolute beast. A few nice little nods to guitar greats over the course of the night. The other guitarist had chops too.
After the encore, as people were filing out, Slash came out and did a handstand. His top hat stayed on.
No regrets. They are legends and ####ing rocked
