The three and a half hour set was at times fun and at others funny. At other times it sounded amazing and a few moments later it would sound atrocious, and no it wasn’t the PA or the wind carrying the sound. The one thing that was consistent throughout the show were the horrendous background visuals. Not ever had we witnessed something as painful to the eyes as those awful so called background visuals.

There were some good (great?) highlights about the show. Among them was the cover of “T.V. Eye” by the Stooges and what made the cover even better was the fact that ACL didn’t sing. The second thing that was good on the show was Slash’s Solo, turns out that he can still shred. Those two things were amazing.

Now, in all honesty they did play a mammoth set of 33 songs. The show did go over 2:30 hours and you almost start thinking that this is a great idea until you realize that they’re also including songs from “Chinese Democracy” and you start asking yourself why? But you’re already there so you just enjoy the ride of The Good, The Axl and The Visuals and hope for the best even though you know the best was 30 years ago and this is just a nostalgia trip for those that care about nostalgia.
