August 22nd, 2016: GN’R Honored
On this day eight years ago… Guns N’ Roses close out the second leg their “Not In This Lifetime” North American reunion tour at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.
They hit the stage a half an hour late (some things never change) but deliver a 26-song set and are presented with a special plaque for selling over one-million tickets.
The tour featured the band’s classic lineup of Axl Rose (vocals), Slash (guitar) and Duff McKagan (bass), backed by drummer Frank Ferrer, guitarist Richard Fortus and keyboardist Dizzy Reed and Melissa Reese.
The band celebrated the tour’s conclusion with a party at Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel. Reportedly, Axl Rose and Slash were accompanied by scantily clad models to the rooftop for pizza.
