Had fun tonight! My brother was impressed with Axl. (He doesn't follow GNR as intensely as I do.) my dad had fun. Happy to hear Patience and Don't Cry in the encore.
Axl sounded like he got better as the night went on. But honestly wouldn't mind if he sang more in his baritone. The early songs in the set list definitely showed it off.
After a bunch of us waited a while for the lithos to come out, it turned out they had 30 in the box for the outside merch tent. First guy in line bought 10, next guy bought 5, a couple bought two a piece. After I bought my solo litho, they limited it to one a piece.
Vancouver '17 was an incredible design but this one is good too. I presume it's Deadpool-inspired considering Reynolds and the red/black but I'm also getting an Evil Dead/gunslinger vibe with the dual guitars and guns.
I might head down there around 11am but hoping to hear from someone else if the merch booth is open before then. Don't want to be standing in the cold October Rain.
From Ticketmaster:
TOUR MERCHANDISE
Tour merchandise will be available for purchase outside on Terry Fox Plaza, and inside on Level 1 (103), Level 2 (205, 216, 222, 229, 233, 249), and Level 4 (420, 435).
Planning out my day for the Vancouver show and based on what I've read the last few months: should I be at the stadium before noon to snag a litho from the merch truck? Aiming to get a few shirts from the truck as well. Or should I grab them inside the venue?
When GN'R was in Vancouver in 2017, I had my brother grab the merch while I was at work. He grabbed a litho and some shirts for both himself and me and the quality of the shirts has held up since then. Is there a merch truck/inside venue quality discrepancy now?
I'm thinking to go around 11am.
