Thanks to Bob: My brother caught Slash's pick from his guitar and is using it kick my ass in poker as a good luck charm. He hit a royal flush the first night he used it. We were in the front row right in front of Slash! It was a great show!
Thanks to Gitarrjam: Great show! Even better than Rockford (which I thought was great) - Scott was really into the show - And Brian Tichy is an unbelievable drummer!
No opening bands - Velvet Revolver went on at 8 pm and was done before 10 pm. Great crowd that was really into the show, and Scott seemed very happy with Green Bay. No Sex Type Thing which was odd, but Dead and Bloated was great and got one of the biggest crowd responses of the night.
Thanks to Caged Tiger #7: The changed setlist was cool. I saw them in Chicago on Saturday and was expecting the same set but was surprised when they played Dead and Bloated and Dirty Little Thing. However, I was also disappointed that there were two less songs than Saturday. They were only on stage slightly more than an hour.
Thanks to MOB: Your typical bad ass Velvet Revolver show!!! I love taking first timers to a Velvet Revolver show (big fans or not), they always have the same reaction, "best show I've ever seen!" The show took place in a tent that held 5000 people so it had a great packed in, sweaty club feel. The band sounded great, the crowd was really into it, and Brian Tichy didn't miss a beat (no pun intended). Unfortunatly, they didn't play "You Got No Right".. looked like Scott nixed it right before the band was about to start. I'm interested as to why? All in all another great show by the greatest live band in Rock & Roll!
Thanks to Pete: Wow, the rock and roll magic lives on as Velvet Revolver continued there summer tour in Green Bay, Wisconsin (of all places, is this the first time they have come to sconi??). What an excellent show all around, no opening acts just, Velvet Revolver and I could not be happier and jacked up to have front row in front of Slash's amp set-up for the second time. I still think there is no better way to light the fire into a pumped up and anxious crowd than opening with 'Sucker Train Blues', that song fucking rocks!! The set list was similar to the Chicago and Columbus shows I believe with the only exception I can remember being they did not do 'Come on, come in'. We all know how good these guys are musically (Slash being my favorite of course) but each one of those guys has this magical aura and presence on stage that as an entire group I do not know that can be matched in all of rock right now. Much deserved credit to Brian Tichy for his work in this fill in stint, he is one hell of a drummer and like others have said the band seems to feel very comfortable and does not lose anything by having him up there. The crowd seemed pretty into it the whole way through for the most part, no getting crushed or crowd surfing which was nice being in the front row. If anybody has any doubt about just how good this band is live, take the risk and see it for yourself, you will not be disappointed. Thanks to Velvet Revolver for coming to Packerland and providing the best thing I have experienced in this state (in my narrow and non-serious/borderline humorous opinion) in many years!!!
Thanks to Marty: Great show. It's great to see these guys playing Hard Rock again. A good stage show with minimal lighting and effects. The songs spoke for themselves.
A little on the short side (1 hour, 25 mins). Set list was the same as the past shows with these exceptions: played "Dead and Bloated". Did not play "Sex Type Thing", "Got No Right", "Come On,Come In" (I'm not sure why).
Thanks to skippy: Excellent, Scott's audio could have been tweaked a bit to get better vocals but overall very good show.
Thanks to Graham Marlowe: "A show and a half." Need I say more? Totally blew my mind. Best $30 I ever spent, even though I spent another $30.00 on a shirt afterwards.
Thanks to Stewart: Great show last night! They were on for about 80 minutes.
