On May 24th in celebrity and famous person's history, one significant event occurred in 1991. On this day, the iconic American rock band, Guns N' Roses, embarked on their highly anticipated "Use Your Illusion Tour" at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin.
The tour was launched to support the band's two simultaneously released albums, "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II." These albums were the follow-up to their massively successful debut album, "Appetite for Destruction," which had propelled them to global stardom.

The tour featured an elaborate stage setup, complete with pyrotechnics, a massive lighting rig, and giant inflatable figures of the band members.
The opening night in East Troy saw Guns N' Roses perform a blistering 3-hour set, showcasing their new material alongside classic hits like "Welcome to the Jungle," "Sweet Child O' Mine," and "November Rain." The band, led by the charismatic Axl Rose and guitar virtuoso Slash, delivered an electrifying performance that set the tone for the rest of the tour.
