notes: The band arrived onstage at 11:45pm, almost 90 minutes after BFMV had finished their 35 minute set. Sebastian Bach played beforehand, for almost 50 minutes, and the crowd were becoming restless watching women in their mid 30s shed their clothes for a couple of seconds fame. At one point all the lights in the arena went off and the intro music began, like something from Jaws, with the spotlights going around the arena. Axl didnt say anything until 5 songs into the set, and mentioned that the band were running two competitions that night, the first to join them at a second acoustic performance in London in several hours, and the second being an all expenses paid trip to the Inland Invasion concert. He said that everyone who had bought standing tickets had their names taken going into the arena and if their name was called out they had won VIP passes to the acoustic show. He started calling out names, and did so inbetween a few songs, bringing Izzy Stradlin on for some cover versions of The Rolling Stones' 'Sway,' Rod Stewart's 'Sailing', and The Beatles; 'Back In The U.S.S.R.' before continuing on with their own songs. The concert ended at approx 1am.
