I have seen a lot of shows, but this one was by far the best:

April 26th, 1988 - I am looking at the Ticket stub right now..

Guns N Roses/Udo Dirksneider from ACCEPT/Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction.

It was in Burlington, IOWA at the Memorial auditorium. It was a freakin' barn. About 1000 people and the place was packed. This was just before the band went through the roof. The album was only out for a bit.

The show started at 7:30pm and by 1am the auditorium made GnR...MADE them get off the stage..

The opening acts were awesome as well, but Guns came out and played everything off of A4D then they played the tunes from Lies..then..Whole lotta Rosie..and at one point Slash screams out..what DO you guys want us to play? people were shouting out tunes and they were playing riffs and songs from the top of their heads..

What an amazing night..when my friends and I left we thought that this band would be huge..but we would have never thought in a million years what a DICK Axl would end up being..he was awesome that night..

I never saw them again--basically because I felt there would be no way they could top that performance..

and from what friends and the media stated, I was right!
