I saw Jarmo had posted a setlist with Reckless Life being played twice. Probably a mistake on his part.

With this show, Absurd has been played more times than I.R.S. (99 vs 98 times), Pretty Tied Up has been played more times than I Wanna Be Your Dog (51 vs 50 times), and Down On The Farm has been played more times than 14 Years (36 vs 35 times).

Live and Let Die and Civil War

Interesting that Axl only sings the "all alone now" part of then chorus, with Duff singing the other lines. I think Melissa should double on Duff's lines with a higher harmony.

I think it was just an one off, because he said during last night's show that he'd been sick at the Charlotte show.

In any case, I think it would be better if Axl sang the main part of the chorus and let Melissa and Duff do the "you're all alone" part.

Yeah, that would probably be better.
