Thanks to troy: The show started an hour late. from my point of view. which was on the wall,scott must have been in a fight with his wife.which i saw running in font of the stage looking teary eyed.they finally started and scott sang pissed off. which was great! the band was tight. right before fall to pieces scott screamed out this song is never more true than tonight. it was a great show any way


Thanks to vince: best ROCK show ever!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks to Jeff Erickson: Show was bad ass for fourth of tour. VR took the stage @ 9:00 or so no scott at first Duff sang lead on I wanna be your Dog to start the fucker off, then they jammed for about 5 minutes then Scotti came out Val Air when nutso. The order of the song was a little different but they didn't bust out anything different. Encore was exactly the same. Slash was definetly amazing nailed all his solos, was flawless while he was getting his Gilmour on during WYWH. Scott looked and sounded great, they were very cohesive, precise fucking pro's.

Stooges - I wanna be your dog duff sings this
slash bluesy improv or i thought i was hearin a cream cover maybe sleepy time not for sure though whatever it rocked. pure rock n roll here VR delivers and punches West des Moines in the mouth monday nite killer show.


Thanks to jay: wow this is a perfect setlist i realy hope they play this exact setlist in LA when they come here, basically all my favorite stp and vr songs are on this setlist.


Thanks to Steve: Great show last night in Des Moines, even though the show started an hour late and Weiland missed the first song (thanks, Duff). The VR tunes were punctuated by some GnR & STP songs that really got the crowd rollin'. Can't wait to see them again.


Thanks to Michael Joe: Great Show - They opened with 'I Wanna Be Your Dog'. 2nd song in the 4 song Encore was Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here'


Thanks to blackelroy: there were no cameras allowed. the show was perfect.
