Notes [www.HTGTH.com]: Notes: Show started at around 1:55 local time. You know where you are? You're in the jungle Rio! You're gonna die! Somebody was kicked out during It's So Easy. During the first band introductions, Axl says: I know that many of you are dissappointed that some of the people that you came to know and love could not be with us here today. Regardless of what you have heard or read, people worked very hard, meaning my former friends, to do everything they could, so that I could not be here today. I say, fuck that! I am as hurt and dissapointed as you, that unlike Oasis we could find a way to all get along. So, I will be going to introduce the new band. Who have worked very, very very hard to come and see you today. This is my friend Paul Tobias. He has worked in the darkness underground for the last seven years to be able to be here today. I think this makes his fourth or fifth show all together in his life. Without Paul, there would be no more Guns N' Roses. Along with Paul, the only man from the old line-up who stayed loyal and worked hard every day. He's on the keyboards, Mr. Dizzy Reed! Well, so much for the past this is Live And Let Die. On the drums, Brain! And they kick into You Could Be Mine! After YCBM, Robin is introduced. He says some words in Portuguese and plays a song. Knockin' On Heaven's Door is more like the original version. Madagascar, a new song, sounds really cool! Powerful versions of old GN'R classics. After Rocket Queen Axl says: We've only done one show before this, and already we've been criticized for playing the old songs...... After Patience, Axl talks about the Internet and the fans..... You know. I used to go on the Internet, but the Internet seems to be a big garbage can. So I don't read the things that they say on the Internet anymore..... Then he talks about the fans in Brazil and South America. Nightrain is the last song before the encores. My Michelle starts with a guitar intro. Silk Worms is next! Paradise City ends the show. In closing, Axl talks about his assistant and thanks her. The local time is 4:20am. Through out the show there's a translator (=Axl's assistant) on stage who translates everything Axl says. 

Notes [www.GNRontour.com]: GN'R rocks Rio once again, hitting the stage at 1:40 a.m. in the wee hours of Jan. 15th. The show is preceded by an animation intro, the same as the Las Vegas, NV [01.01.01] animation intro. During 'It's So Easy,' Axl has a fan kicked out who apparently had been wearing a GN'R=Slash t-shirt and had been taunting Axl. After 'Mr. Brownstone,' Axl speaks through a translator to say that many of the fans are disappointed that past band members are not currently in the band. He says the ex-band members did everything they could so that Axl couldn't be there today, to which Axl says "Fuck that!" He tells the crowd that he is hurt and that unlike Oasis, Axl and his former members couldn't find a way to get along. He then introduces the band and gives a special speech about Paul Tobias, saying that without Paul, there would be no more Guns N' Roses. After 'Think About You,' Axl introduces Brain to lead into 'You Could Be Mine.' After 'You Could Be Mine,' Axl introduces Robin so Robin can speak some Portugese to the audience and play a guitar solo. Before 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door,' Axl mentions that this is a new band and it was time to do a version of the song that was more closer to the original. Unlike the Vegas show, the ending of 'Knockin On Heaven's Door' is extended so the crowd can participate. Axl dedicates 'Madagascar,' a song on which he played guitar, to the love that the Brazilian fans have shown the band. After 'Madagascar,' Axl introduces Buckethead so he can play an instrumental for the crowd, in which he jams on his song 'Big Sur Moon' from his Colma album. Axl introduces Paul during 'Rocket Queen' to play the solo. After 'Rocket Queen,' Axl says that they have only done 1 show before this and that they have already been criticized for doing the "old songs." He goes on to say that one of the reasons they play the old songs is for everyone to see that "This new band can play the fuck out of these songs." He then introduces the band, starting with Buckethead. After 'Chinese Democracy,' Buckethead plays a country-western style jam, which leads into a short instrumental jam. Axl introduces 'Patience' by saying "You might know this song!" After 'Patience,' Axl tells the crowd he used to surf the internet, but to him it seems to be a big garbage can. So he doesn't read the garbage that is written anymore, and he goes on to mention a few names of Argentinian fans that post stuff!! Before 'Silkworms,' Axl tells the crowd that it was written by Dizzy Reed & Chris Pittman. Prior to 'Paradise City,' a Brazilian "Samba School" [Escola de Samba] comes on stage to play for a few minutes. After 'Paradise City,' Axl tells the crowd he has been taken care of by a Brazilian family, specifically Beta, his assistant, and her 3 children. He says that she has been a mother & manager to him, and that she has helped everyone in the band. Beta also was the translator for the night. Axl then tells the crowd the band will "Be back next summer with a whole bunch of new songs!" The band soundchecked on the 14th between 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. 

Animation Intro Transcript: This part of the intro is taken from the film The Exorcist III. George C. Scott is the actor who is speaking. "This I believe in. I believe in death. I believe in disease. I believe in injustice and inhumanity, torture and anger and hate. I believe in murder. I believe in pain. I believe in cruelty and infidelity. I believe in slime and stink and every crawling putrid thing. Every possible ugliness and corruption you son of a bitch. I believe . . . in you."
