Thanks to Ryan Bakeman: The best show ever the famliy had great seats we sat side stage it was awesome they played "Roadhouse Blues" "Sex Type Thing" "Fall To Pieces" "Slither". The crew was cool they threw me and my bro drum sticks and picks. Scott was awesome same with Slash they were so cool. I want to go back I do I do. But they didn't play "Come on, Come in". We were there on sound check listening them play "Wish You Were Here" it was one of the best shows of my life.

Thanks to Don: Great show me and my family had awesome seats, we sat side stage right across from Slash's equipment! The show was originally supossed to have an opening band but for some reason there wasn't one, so the guys played an extra long set. I don't rember the setlist very well other then they played everything off of the album and they played It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone (with guest drummer from No Doubt who's name I don't know to play the intro), Sex Type Thing, another STP song (don't know what the song was but I know I caught the words Rubber Man) they also played 2 other cover songs. They played Wish You Were Here and a Door's song who's name escapes me (I do know the first 2 lines were Keep your eyes on the road and your hands apon the wheel). I even go to watch the band rehearse Wish You Were Here which was really cool! It was a great song and the road crew is very nice they threw me and my brother some drum sticks and Slash guitar picks all and all one of the best shows I've ever seen, the highlight I think was Sex type thing.

Thanks to sas: This was the second time I saw VR and they did not let me down. I was in the 3rd row and I was with a bunch of people that hadn't seen them. It rocked so much I couldn't talk after the show and all my friends were blown away. I wish I could remeber the set list. I know they opened with Do it for the kids. It is my favorite. Can't wait to see them again. There wasn't an opening band so they played a lot. I never moved from my row until I was sure they were finished. When are you guys playing again in CA? I'll be there!!!

Thanks to Alex: Oh my god!! It was the freakin best concert of my life. And it was cool cuz when Duff was playin he went to his left (my right) side of the stage he looked straight at us, I swear he did. OMG I luv him he is just so awesome.

Thanks to Jennifer and Adam: WOW! That was our first time seeing them in concert they rocked!

Wish I had better seats! They were pretty dang awesome!

Rock ON!

Thanks to Dana: The show was awesome, Scott is hot and Slash is amazing. Not nearly as many people as I thought there would be. Kind of disappointing. Still awesome though!

Thanks to Evonne: Velvet Revolver kicked ass last night! I had so much fun and I was so close to the stage! Scott is the greatest frontman ever! I thought they were amazing, everyone was having a good time and I can't wait to see them again. VR ROCKS!

Thanks to Skirt: The show was fucking awesome! It took about two three songs for the audio levels to be set, but I think that was the only downfall. The setlist was the same as the last few shows so it was a very predictable show. But near the end on The Doors' "Roadhouse Bules" Scott took the vocals to a new level. His very stage presence mached even that of Jim Morrison. And I have to say that the highlight of the show was Slash's guitar solo before Set Me Free. It was an exact replica of a live Led Zeppelin solo. He matched Page's tone and even phrasing. All in all this show was on the top of my list.

Thanks to MIKE P.: This was an awesome concert...the Mid State Fair needs more acts like this. I've gone to concerts there before and none have been like this..the crowd was alive...the band kicked ass the whole show..it was more than worth the price of the ticket.

Thanks to Bob Kitzmiller: 6th Row Center Stage. Where do these guys get their energy?! This is my 3rd time seeing VR live and I am amazed at the consistency of their shows. I can't say much more than what everyone else has already said but I can say that Slash is playing particularly better fills and solos on this mini-California tour! He's all over the stage too!! The worst part of the show was having to smell the cow shit of the beautiful California Mid-State Fair during the performance.

Thanks to Jami: It was a fun show; however, Scott didn't get the crowd all fired up. I saw Tom Petty last year at Paso Fair and he got the crowd all fired up. Granted Petty is a legend and can still rock down the joint.

Thanks to Mike Iman: One of the best concerts I've seen in a while..thank god there is still a band out there that knows how to fucking rock! If there is a better band right now I'd like to hear 'em! Slash is the best hard rock axe man alive..seeing this show has inspired me to grow my hair long again (I'm 47) and start up a band again! Velvet Revolver gives hope to those who long for kick-ass rock the way it was once played..thanks again & keep it coming mother fuckers!

Thanks to Lysa Smith: That was the most amazing show ever! Best concert that I have been too!! And I had close seats!

Thanks to Joe Rank: Only objection was the late start. Became a bit chilly as the sun set, but the crowd warmed up well once the rockin' began! Diverse fan base, from youngsters to gray hairs. The band was in total form and control. I liked the classical intro to "You Got no Right". Other surprises were an oustanding version of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and a solid "Roadhouse Blues" that developed a VR twist into the solo's.

Great concert and an appreciative audience.

Thanks to Dusty Rhoads: The show was the best show I've seen them perform, the boys were in top form tonight! Two words to sum it up F*CK yeah.

Thanks to Jemma: That was the BEST concert I have ever been to!! They rocked and Slash is the BEST guitar player ever!!! I loved the concert so much!!! I wish I had closer seats though. But they were awesome!!!!!
