Warsaw with Guns
For the second time this year I was lucky enough to see and hear one of the greatest bands in the history of music. This was my fourth DP gig overall and I will surely see them again if they come back some day.
The setlist was no surprise – the same as during the first shows on this leg of the tour. The only difference is that there was no ‘Kiss tomorrow goodbye’. Adding ‘Into the fire” and “Fireball” was a great decision, so was ‘When a blind man cries’ – my personal favourite from the show.
A shame Steve did not play ‘Contact Lost’ – it was a special moment for me during every DP gig I saw, but instead, we had a riff parade incl. ‘Whole lotta love’, ‘Heartbreaker’, ‘Voodoo chile’ aaaaaaaaand …. ‘Sweet child o’mine’ which was a great surprise and I enjoyed ii very much, as Guns n’ Roses are probably even higher in my personal ranks than DP.
Ian looked great in his tight jeans and white shirt – better than during the previous shows. They were all in great form. The only problem was the sound. After this gig, I know every DP bass line by heart, because bass and drums were so loud in the area where i stood (that is approx. third-fourth row on Roger’s side of the stage), that at times, we could hardly hear Steve and Don. I know that this problem was non-existent for people in the back or in the middle of the standing area, but it was quite annoying for us at the left side.
Another problem was that the tickets were quite expensive for most of Poles. They were like 50% more expensive than two years ago. That’s why there was quite a number of empty seats and the standing area was not as tightly-packed as during their previous gigs with the venue being smaller than before.
I think the attendance was around 5000-6000 people. But as usual, we were very, VERY loud and I think the band liked it 😉
I thaaaaaaaaank yeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuu again. 🙂
