A group of seven of us got up to about half way to the stage, but the 
view wasn't the best, particularly if you were less than 6 feet tall. 
But to compensate for this, and the first time I ever saw it in the 
Point Depot (Dublin's largest indoor venue), they erected two huge 
screens on either side of the stage, so that gave everybody a birds 
eye view of what was happening.
So they played nearly all of Contraband, It's so easy, Brownstone, 
Crackerman and Sex type thing. One of the highlights was when Slash, 
towards the end of the gig, came out onstage on his own with a Les 
Paul and sat on the monitor at centre stage. He started playing some 
beautiful 'acoustic' style guitar which had hints of Pink Floyds 
'Mother' - similar to what they used to play before Paradise City in 
Gn'R. It was amazing. The audience for the first time all evening 
became more or less hushed. Everybody just gazed and then he started 
in to Used to Love her. Brilliant. 
The gig as a whole was possibly one of the best I've been to - just 
wish I had have been closer. It was like watching Gn'R in '87 - 110% 
energy from all five band members. Scott was great, Duff was equally 
so. After a short break, Matt came out and started into the drum intro 
of You could be Mine and the crowd went wild. He then cut straight 
into Mr Brownstone. Fantastic. 
Then Slash and Dave had a 'guitar duel' during Set me Free I think it 
was. Dave is such a better player than I had thought. Then of course 
Slash sported the top hat towards the end, and smoked throughout, 
commenting on Irelands smoking ban! Great stuff. 
The place was sold out and you could see on their faces that they were 
really enjoying playing for us. I just hope they get to come back 
soon. They would easily have been able to play two nights here.
Thanks and all the best
Dave
