Guns’N’Roses, 08/07/2023, Circus Maximus.

A bloody great concert by Axl Rose and his buddies, 3 hours and 15 minutes non-stop of slightly more than 30 songs, including my all-time favorite Bond song, “Live & Let Die”!  And they also concluded with my favorite Guns song, “Paradise City”.   

Cool also that old Chrissie Hynde and her Pretenders opened up for Guns.  Saw her and her band in May, 2003 in Rome when they had opened for Deep Purple.

All pics taken with a Lumix-Leica digital camera using a 1,950 mm zoom and from a distance of about 500 yards.

A nice touch by Axl as he had played with AC/DC when Brian Johnson lost his hearing as they played Bon’s “Walk All Over You” with Axl adding before the song that “Angus is happy that we’re playing here”!  Funny too as Axl mentioned Silvio Berlusconi twice by dedicating two songs to him and along the way also shouting to the crowd, “Bunga Bunga”!  

Good for Axl, Slash, Duff and the rest of that great band (they gave 1,000% for their Rome show, at least the way I look at it).  In the long run we managed to save about 180 euros worth of tickets by sitting outside the famous stadium and in front of the FAO hqs.
