Guns N’ Roses take over Madison Square Garden tonight for the first of three shows at the World’s Most Famous Arena.

I missed the band at last summer’s MetLife Stadium concert that received good reviews but I did catch Axel Rose fronting AC/DC at MSG after singer Brian Johnson was shut down for health reasons. Axel was great that night and the Guns N Roses extended tour has gone off without any apparent squabbles. It’s not like the days when Rose held up a concert to spend special time with then girlfriend, and Victoria Secret model, Stephanie Seymour but maybe that is a good thing.

It’s been another busy rock and roll week in New York City. I caught the duo Wye Oak performing an interesting set, with well placed distortion, featuring soon to be released songs at City Winery on Friday. 

On Saturday I csught an incendiary two sets  of great jams on the second night of Tedeschi Trucks Band six night Beacon Theatre run that ends this coming Saturday.. I received the gift of an unexpected upgrade to the fourth row making an already great night of tunes even better. The Tedeschi Trucks Band has extended their busy tour schedule into 2018.

Welcome to the Jungle

Rock on!
