Apparently tonight's show will be a little bit shorter than yesterday's.

Apparently it wasn't. The same setlist with Don't Let It Bring You added at the end.

People are saying Axl was singing better this time, but still not good.

Great to have this new round of concerts started, even if it was a bit rough start. Really cool to hear Better and Welcome to the Jungle all acoustic.

The Neil Young song is Don't Let It Bring You Down. I haven't heard he and Axl singing it together but I really really want to. Great song and I can imagine it almost. Wish I'd been there.

Axl's singing is not bad at all on this show, despite his strep throat. A lot better than the first day. The 'first show of the tour drama queens' on the boards are getting old.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised with the second day -- I never thought Axl would improve that much so quickly. It is really unfortunate that it is the bad shows that are televised/streamed. That being said, Axl and GN'R got a lot of good publicity as a result of the charity concert, so all in all it is really good.

Playing the Bridge School Benefit show in 2012 [is one of my fondest memories of being in GN'R]. I do a lot of benefit shows and it felt good to be doing that with Guns. The kids and families were on stage with us, having them strum my guitar… for me, that’s what makes it meaningful to be a musician, doing what you do for a greater good.

The first thing that always comes to mind [when thinking about my best experiences with GN'R] is playing the Bridge School Benefit [organized by musicians Neil Young and Pegi Young], when we got to play a show… It was a benefit for [the Bridge School, which assists children with severe physical impairments and complex communication needs]… And having the kids and their families right on stage with us on this big platform behind us. I remember just almost ignoring the audience in front of us and just going back to them and just taking a kid's hand and helping him strum the guitar. Things like that. That's always the first thing that comes to mind.
