Thanks to Ryan: Great show man. Speechless. I'm not positive about the order, but those are all the songs. Scott mentioned that they checked online (most probably this website) and saw that Superhuman was one of their fans' favorite songs. He said they had never played it before Voodoo (though I think they have a couple of times), but I was very excited that they played it. The best moments of the show are when Dave jumped off of the stage, fell, kept playing, then went into the crowd; also when all four of the mobile members of the band went onto the catwalk of the stage for Set Me Free. I love life.

Thanks to Amy Vala: Can I get an amen for Rock n Roll is born again. Thank you Jesus!!! When it was all dead and gone and nearly forgotten - Scott inspires creativity. As being an odd end to it all - my brother died of cancer on October 29th 2001. Oddly Scott's bday the day before. (Creepy coincidences) He was the biggest mullet wearing GNR fan and I the 70's baseball groovy chick digging the vibe of Scott - it was truely a great gift to see these two bands merge. Let's me know he is still hanging around - makes me all warm and fuzzy. So a big nod gesture to Velvet Revolver for renewing my soul as to dealing with the every day bullshit I encounter.

My husband took all these bad ass pictures of this concert. Told him to get as many as Scott as he could for he had press credentials. Being an artist as well - I have decided to come out of my hole and start a Scott Weiland group of art pieces.

Again the invite is always open to play a gig on the 40 acres in Springfield Illinois. My kids dance to the music and my one year old asks for Scott as all his music was played while in utero.

Please have an open mind about Scott in particular and his past habits - as I have learned in life - it doesn't always pan out gold- so don't expect it from someone else and put your expectations on another. artist151@aol.com

Thanks to Ian: This was the best concert I've seen in a long time. I figure it's the closest I'll ever get to seeing Guns N Roses so that makes it 100% better. They played everything perfect. They played all the right songs. Me, my friend and this chick I met started the encore chant. I could tell I was losing my voice during the show. Slash is my hero and when he came down the ramp, I was 10 yards away from him and I have pictures to prove it. My only complaint was that they didn't play Mr. Brownstone, one of my favorite GNR songs. And I will be sure to buy a front row ticket next time they are in town.

Thanks to Scarlett Dale: I was the crazy girl on the right side of the band on Duff's side. I was the one wearing the blue tank top who was jumping up & down, stepping on everyones toes, screaming, & dancing the whole entire time. I know the band thought I was crazy, but I decided before they played that if I could not be on the front row, then I was going to get noticed, reguardless! It may have had a positive or negative effect on me, but, hey, I got noticed & even got a smile from Duff! It was the best concert ever & I had the best time! Since I live in Biloxi, MS, I hope they will find time to work Biloxi into their busy schedule.

Thanks to Gaia: Awesome concert, the guys were well rested after the European tour and they rocked! Scott made a very long speech in two parts about the importance of using our right of freedom and of making ourselves be heard. I had a feeling it was about the upcoming election, but he didn't specify, so who knows. Rik, you had a big shout out for Superhuman.

Thanks to Austin: Finally mixed it up a bit, and threw in some lagniape...played Superhuman too. Everything I wanted in a performance...Weiland did sort of ramble on about some shit at times, but all-in-all great show, A++

Thanks to Kyle: Wow. I had been waiting a long time to see this show and it finally came. I was in the front row on Slash's side. I have to say that this was the best show that I have ever seen in my life. And Dave is pretty fun to watch, got me more pumped up than I was already.
