just got back from the show at reading festival.  they came onstage 50mins late at 10:20.  i was glad they had come on stage at all as i was a bit concerned as alot of the crowd wernt really gnr fans and were booing and chanting things like 'we want slash'.  idiots.  Anyway they played some good songs, including an instumental cover of the james bond theme which was cool, and a bit of pink floyd later too.  the crowd loved the classics but didnt respond to the new songs.  november rain probably went down the best and it even rained a bit which was cool.  axl said at one point he could smell cannabis in the crowd.  they were near the end of nightrain at midnight when axl looked off stage at someone and said over the mic "if thats the way you want to play it, fine" & then apolagised to the crowd and threw the mic 10feet in the air and stormed off stage.  the band played on till the end of the song without any vocals for the final bit.  i saw axl say something to this woman at the side of the stage, he looked really pissed off.  axl tried to talk to the crowd but they wouldnt turn on his mic, he looked very pissed off, would have been great to hear what he was saying.  the band tried to play paradice city with drums and accoustic guitar & the crowd chanted the chorus.  axl found a megaphone and said "after this we're not playing leeds".  I dont blame him,sure they were late onstage but its BS that this festival shuts at midnight.  after the band had sat together onstage for a bit and the crowd had chanted PC for a bit then the lights slowly went off and that was the end.  i was a little dissapointed as id enjoyed the show until the end.
