"Live Era" - Why all the re-recording?

Why all the re-recording on "Live Era"??

GN'R have been such a great live band 1985-1993 but never managed to release a proper live album officially. "Live Like A Suicide" was studio with overdubbed crowd noise, Tokyo92 was video (and not a good show at all compared to the normal standards like Chicago92 or Argentina92).

yeah, we've had some good tv broadcasts and leaked Pro-Shots....but why didnt they ever release a killer live album?!!??
And how went this all down with Live Era? Del picked from all their DAT recordings etc., just to let Axl and Slash seperately re-record a lot of stuff? Who and how was communicating and who decided the last re-recorded/mixed versions to be on the fake "Live" Era album??

I don't really know. I do know that there was a time that Axl wanted to make a deal with the record co so that fans could order a copy of the gig that they just saw. I do know that Slash and Axl were not getting along at the time when they were putting together the record. Also I don't think Axl was in favor of putting out a live record at that time but they owed the record co something.

I remember many years I read a Slash interview when he recognized that the live album could have been better, he kind of regretted that Gnr had not released a live package CD & DVD as the one of Led zeppelin in 2003 (with few partial of full shows)... would have been more interesting

I always hoped they would have released a live gig from the Appetite era along with an Illusion era gig, instead of mixing them together.

I'm sure there's a reason why, but imo, Del dropped the ball in his choosing of the songs.

wow, Metallica do this 10-15 years later....

Imagine now if this happened and we got pretty much EVERY show from the UYI tour in pro shot somehow...

Pearl Jam released concert bootlegs from each show on one of their tours awhile back. I think they were one of the first to do so.

But yea, good on Axl for thinking outside the box. He does seem to be a step ahead in certain aspects.
