1991 Guns N' Roses concert

The 1991 Guns N' Roses concert was a massive outdoor concert by rock band Guns N' Roses at the Birmingham Race Course on June 30, 1991. Skid Row opened the general admission show, for which tickets cost $22.50.

The crowd has been estimated at around 40,000, but organizers and concessionaires were unprepared for the turnout. The race track infield was quickly trampled into thick ankle-deep mud. The headlining band appeared late and the show was interrupted numerous times for technical difficulties and other reasons.
