F*ck Fear Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 This is so hard to do, and I know it will change. 5) Sweet Child O' Mine - The Ritz 1988 - I never liked Axl's vocals for this song during the Illusions tour. And it's been a hit or miss song since then. Ritz 88 was a fantastic blend of great vocals and energy. Awesome. 4) Paradise City - Wembley Stadium Freddie Tribute 1992 - This is the Illusion line up at it's finest in my opinion. 3) This I Love - Adelaide, Australia 2010 - I just recently rewatched this performance and WOW! 2) Welcome To The Jungle - MTV VMA 1988 - The energy is off the hook during this rendition. 1) Mr. Brownstone - Paris 1992 - I've always loved this show as a whole, but Brownstone is the highlight for me. Matt's hard hitting drumming, Slash's improv guitar intro, Godamn! An othet nomination would be Knockin' On Heavens Door from Boston 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAxlMorrison Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I think "You're Crazy" from the Electric Factory deserves a nod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansin Humanity Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Has there been any other time Axl went up an octave on the first verse of Nightrain like he did for the Tokyo 09 show? That deserves an honorable mention for those vocals alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousStyles Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'd be hard-pressed to choose any performance outside of '87-'93 although there have been some amazing individual efforts by all the band members throughout the years. It's surreal to think how great the band sounds now, how much better the band could sound, and how we may have been robbed of 10-15 years of iconic performances by one of the greatest rock n' roll bands ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They nailed it that night! That's one of best live GnR performances of any song ever. Edited August 17, 2016 by Trin9498 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post maynard Posted August 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2016 2001 - 2014 should not be taken into consideration since it's not really GN'R. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) It's all relative...because some of the best performances are great because of the energy level of the band/crowd. But in terms of "studio version perfect" or sounding even better than the studio version....the late night show performances from 1988 are tough to top.

gnrziggy Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I love the fact that Axl Slash and Duff did this tour I was at the Foxboro, Ma show which was amazing. I also saw every version of New GNR and this is right at the top for me as far as performances go. Axl sounded unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I don't consider Tokyo 92 to be the best in anything. It was one of Axl's worst vocal performances of the UYI tour (right next to Indiana 91). Too much chainsaw, more often than not singing sharp/flat. Also I don't like Slashs tone on the UYI TOUR (not the album, the tour) bc too nasally compared to the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
