LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES SEPTEMBER 8 2019- THIRTY ONE YEARS AGO GUNS N’ ROSES WAS THE WARM UP ACT FOR AEROSMITH AT THE CONCORD PAVILION. GN’R WERE ON THEIR “APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION” TOUR AND GAVE US A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME. AEROSMITH WAS ON THEIR “PERMANENT VACATION” TOUR AND THIS WAS THE GROUP’S FIRST TOUR SINCE COMPLETING DRUG REHAB. GUNS N’ ROSES WERE NOTORIOUS FOR THEIR CONSUMPTION OF DRUGS AT THIS TIME. AEROSMITH ASKED GN’R NOT TO DO DRUGS IN THEIR PRESENCE, SO THEY WOULDN’T RELAPSE.
GUNS N’ ROSES WERE LIMITED TO A SEVEN SONG SET. THIS IS THEIR SETLIST FROM CONCORD:
You’re Crazy
It’s So Easy
Mr. Brownstone
Out Ta Get Me
Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
Welcome to the Jungle
Sweet Child O’ Mine
AEROSMITH WAS SOBER ON THIS TOUR AND ACCORDING TO IZZY STRADLIN
“When we toured with them, I’d go out to watch and they’d sound fucking amazing!”
HERE IS THE SETLIST FROM AEROSMITH:
Rats in the Cellar
Same Old Song and Dance
Heart’s Done Time
