DTJ80 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Randomly heard a live version of Paradise City on the radio today but no idea exactly where it was taken from? Doesn’t sound like Live era - anyone know what source it was likely taken from - I’m thinking maybe the Las Vegas release but really not sure. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTJ80 Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 No - but it sounded like CD-era vocals as opposed to UYI but there was what sounded like female backing singers too. Guitars sounded beefed up. I missed the end so dunno who he was shouting out to in terms of ‘goodnight’! Will need to listen to my copy of LV and see if I can match them up. Still - odd for U.K. radio to pick a live version for playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa could have been the female backup vocals you heard and the broadcast could have been guitar heavy as well Just a random shot in the dark haha again this is just a random stab in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTJ80 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Just listened to the LV version - definitely not that one. Vocals on the version from radio were far better. So - potentially the Forum now.....and from what I remember there were no firework explosions at the whistle which would suggest deffo indoor....🤔 As an aside, it was a very good version so if it that was the quality of the overall show it must have been a topper. Worth checking out anyway. Edited October 20, 2018 by DTJ80 Updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To begin with I thought so but vocally it was much better than that. In terms of background vocals it was the same so deffo think it’s from this tour. The latter part differed as well in terms of the solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-p-d-a Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Maybe a re-recorded version from in the NITL Era? new vocals from the studio for upcoming "live" album?

diegodasilva23 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 How about one of the nights from Coachella? They streamed “Nightrain” in the Guns’ channel last year, so maybe “Paradise City” from one of the two nights was recorded in soundboard too. Maybe they’re planning on releasing a live album of the tour and maybe “Paradise City” is from one of the Coachella’s nights. It’s just a suggestion.

UsedYourIllusion Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 It seems like, unless they we're teasing something new, they'd have to play something legal for them to play, i.e. Las Vegas, 1992 - Live Era The O2 arena show from 2012 (circulated to various outlets, I've personally watched it on VH1 classic here in the states). It's not Sirius or affiliated with them right? So no Apollo or Forum show. Unless these guys played something bootleg that's a gem, or perhaps GN'R is releasing a live album.. I doubt we wouldn't have had articles from crap websites like Blabbermouth already. Hmm seems perplexing. I'm not sure I've even heard live stuff like that, unless it was a special from a station or just popular single like Bob Seger's - Turn the Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTJ80 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 So - listened to each of the above and it sounds closest to the Houston gig in terms of vocals etc although it was a properly mixed track. Don’t think it was that gig per se but closer. I did notice when it was playing there were no ‘Mickey’ vocals so that narrows it a tiny bit! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
