| Note | GN'R arrived onstage shortly past 11 p.m., due to delays with previous set changes. They played a slightly abbreviated set due to time constraints, only playing for around 100 minutes. Axl is wearing a 2002 Oakland Raiders home jersey, #99, with his own name on the back. During the animated 'Exorcist III' intro, Axl randomly screeches out, "Whoa-no-no-no!" After 'Live And Let Die,' Axl says, "So I don't know... it looks like a bunch of your motherfuckers thought I might actually make it here tonight! Look at all these fuckin' people! You like that Bucket? This is called 'Think About You.'" Axl introduces 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by announcing, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Robin Finck." After 'Sweet Child O' Mine,' Axl blushingly acknowledges the cheering crowd by saying, "Stop that, you're embarrasing me!" During 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door,' Axl brilliantly lets out his famous wails between lines. At the end of 'Out Ta Get Me,' Axl sings, "Take that one to your blood-pudding heart!" While Buckethead is solo-ing, he plays parts of 'Star Wars' and 'A Pirate's Life For Me.' He also starts shredding while holding his guitar with just one hand! Prior to 'November Rain,' Axl announces, "Well, it appears that we're gonna have an interesting evening. You see the... the city council and the promoters say we have to like end the show. And they'll say that I'm... they could say maybe I'm enciting a riot. Now I'm not 'cuz I don't want anyone to get arrested or anyone to get in trouble or anything like that. But I think we got a good 7 or 8 fucking songs left at least to play for you. And I didn't fucking come all the way to fucking England to be told to go back home by some fucking asshole! All I've got for the last 8 years is shit after shit after shit in the fucking press and Axl's this, Axl's that - I'm here to play a fucking show and we wanna play! So... if you wanna stay, I wanna stay and we'll see what happens. Everybody - nobody try to get in trouble or anything and try to have a good time." During the breakdown of 'November Rain,' Axl temporarily halts the song to say, "So I've been told that we've got more time... and whoever is responsible for that I'd like to say thank you." During 'Patience,' Axl sees someone in the crowd wearing a 'Where is Slash?' shirt, to which Axl replies, "He's in my ass! That's where Slash is! Fuckhead! Go home! After the brief encore break, Axl tells the crowd, "I would like to seriously thank you for coming tonight. And by the looks of things, we will be seeing you again! I'd like to thank whoever was responsible for giving us the extra time and uh... this is Mr. Robin Finck." Towards the end of 'Paradise City,' a fan breaks past security and reachs the front left of the stage. Axl sees her and then shakes her hand before she is pulled away be security! Axl hurls his microphone deep into the crowd at the end of 'Paradise City.'
