Swedish Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I've been wondering this for quite some time now and I thought I should ask the question over here! Since you guys are major GN'R fans (just like me) and probably listen to quite a lot of live bootlegs (just like me) I wonder what's your favorite GN'R concert of all time? Mine is probably Chicago '92 or Stockholm '91 (both nights really)! I would love to find some new great shows to listen to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientEvil80 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Hmmm, probably the one I listen to mostly nowadays is London Marquee 1987. The NYC Ritz in October 1987 is definitely fantastic too (I wish I had the whole video footage though...). Music Machine and Troubadour 1986 are also top for me.

CandyGenius Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Paris 1992. My parents let my brother and I watch it on PPV. We recorded it and I pretty much wore that tape out. I bought tickets for the two of us for one of the upcoming shows. I'm sure that one will take first place then.

MillionsOfSpiders Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Ones I watch....ritz 88, argentina 93, Paris bercy 93. There's a ton of others though. Concerts ive been to from 01 up until 2012, I would pick manchester 2012. November rain and civil war were worth it alone. i was also convinced i wouldn't get to see Axl again. Glad that's not going to happen Edited May 12, 2016 by MillionsOfSpiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Budokan Hall, Tokyo, December 10th 1988 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnr Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Marquee '87. I don't know why, it doesn't have footage or anything, but the band, that voice, that attitude...it's the Guns N' Roses I love Honorable mention to Ritz, Paris '92, Argentina '93 and Freddie Mercury set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Ritz '88, Wembley '91, Albany '02, Rock am ring '06, and Tokyo '09. All different bands as far as I'm concerned. Edited May 12, 2016 by Billsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6lake sa66ath Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Ritz '88 because there's pro shot video footage of the whole thing, among other things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlvai Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The million dollar question... for a die GnR fan like me, is impossible to choose only 1 show. But i have some favorites: - Chile 92 - That Ritz 87... - Wembley 91 - Florida 91 - Saratoga 91 - Worcester 91 .... i can say a lot more.... i want to say thank so much to the ppl who recorded this from audience. I enjoy every day all shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Fuck, there's too many, can I just pick the best ones of each era? Marquee '87 (the June 22 show) and Tokyo '88 (the Dec. 7 show), Indianna '91/Hartford '93, Rock Am Ring '06/Bucharest '10. Also, I still kinda think Calgary 2010 is the best show I've ever seen, but the April 8 Vegas show ties it because Coma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Philly 2012, the only one I've been to. I expect that MetLife 2 will soon relegate it to 2nd place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicDwolfwood Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Marque 87 - All 3 shows are killer..interesting listening how the band sorta grew in confidence as each gig passed. Night 2 was probably the best, they were ripping it up for that one, they were Animals let out of the cage for that gig. LA 91 - 4 hour gig...nuff said Chicago 92 - band were great that night. also one of the few times Coma was played on that tour. Paris 92 - Lenny Kravitz and Steve Tyler/ Joe Perry as guests. Hartford 93 - The Garden was played that night. Killer version of Nice Boys played that night also Argentina 93 - The last gig of the tour. And the end of that era of GNR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofnazareth Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Roxy 1986. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugachev Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Argentina 93. Ritz 88 is up there too. Speaking of which, doesn't Axl have all the pro shot videos from the UYI days? Any chance we'll get to see those released since he's on good terms with everybody now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanity_lost Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) Hannover, Germany 06.03.1992- For the novelty factor of Axl either siting hunched over singing or disappearing completely for 80% of the show and just being completely low energy with the exception of the end of Patience and the beginning of the following song. This show brought us such gems as: "My name is Mr. Swing, Mr. Mood Swing" and, re: Sweet Child, "This a song about getting fucked in the ass by a coke bottle". Actual true favorite has to be Roxy 1986. But I do have a fondness in my heart for the blurry, shaky, slightly distorted Hannover, Germany show.

Tom-Ass Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Pasadena 12/30/1987 - Shit quality but classic. A few of Axl's greatest song introductions too. Ritz 88 - For obvious reasons St Patrick's Day Boston 1993.. I was there, best concert I have ever attended by anyone Argentina 7/16/1993. Their second to last show. This string of songs is played to absolute perfection. DTJ, Dead Flowers, You Ain't The First, You're Crazy, Used To Love Her, Patience, KOHD, NR, Dead Horse.

Live Like a Suicide Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 It's a hard choice, but i'm going to say Music Machine (1986). The rawness of the gig was crazy, much like a lot of their club shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 June 6, 2014. The second to last show of No Trickery, the second to last show of my favorite lineup. Estranged, There Was A Time, Catcher In The Rye, Civil War, Prostitute, and Yesterdays all in one set - doesn't get much better than that for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Chicago 1992 because it's the first live show I saw on YouTube and I was hooked on how much more energy they had live than in the studio. Argentina 1993 Chicago 2016 is gonna be my favorite assuming it all goes smoothly and Axl's voice isn't destroyed from the AC/DC tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliexpress Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Perkins Palace 30/12/87. I like a lot of the NYC ones done around 87/88 period, Ritz '87 being a favourite. Indiana '91 and Hartford/Modena '93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
