Just watched the performance on my big screen with surround sound- it really sounded incredible! about the best I've heard on a tv show.
Things that stuck out for me:
Scotts voice-powerful, smooth, perfect tone, the bridge gave me goosebumbs -best I've heard him
Slash- he was just way more into it than usual, 1 legged hop, lots of energy- reminded me of how he was in the old days w/GNR
The way they looked- they were all cleaned up & on their best behavior, like the 1st day of school
Overall everyone gave it 110%
Only slight negatives:
It would have been cool to see them a little down & dirty- Like Scott w/his shirt off, shock the audience a little w /F U attitude
Why can't they perform this was all the time? I saw them in DC, they kicked ass, but 1 of my complaints was that Slash wasn't very energized, he basically just stood there all nite
My wife was watching the Leno performance, she's just a casual fan, but I play their concerts all the time & she's seen them live - Her only comment was that they were not representing their true selves & that they were just selling out.
My overall rating 9/10
