Slash’s return was viscerally made repeatedly — kicking into the widdly, flamenco-metal solo at the close of Double Talkin’ Jive, reprising the Godfather’s love theme Speak Softly Love as an introduction to Sweet Child O’ Mine, and a dozen other moments no on else could fake. Courtesy 117Live

The band dusted off no less than eight vintage cuts from their legendary debut album Appetite for Destruction. Courtesy 117Live

Both of Axl Rose’s indulgent early 1990s epics — Estranged, November Rain — were present and accounted for. Courtesy 117Live

The familiar Bob Dylan and Wings covers — Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door and Live and Let Die — where joined by instrumental nods to Eric Clapton (Layla) and Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here), while the encore also made space for The Who’s The Seeker. Courtesy 117Live

Slash and bassist Duff McKagen’s return has comfortably upgraded the group’s legacy from a touring tribute circus outfit to long-reigning rock n’ roll heroes. Courtesy 117Live
