Gunner927 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 People say '87 or '88 or '91 were the best eras of the band. No. Nothing can touch those shows from 199. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBlaine Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Illusion era was untouchable if any era could be. Prior to 1988/89 or 1990 they sounded a little rough around the edges live to me. The more fleshed out and rehearsed setlists certainly helped along with Matt's precision style drumming. I actually prefer the current lineup to the Illusion era because Slash isn't whacked out more often than not on dope. Sorry, but he sounds better today than then, even though he was beginning to really come into his own in 91-93. This story really shows how influential he had become by performing with Michael Jackson and Guns N Rose's at the same Venue...both artists at the peak of their careers. Michael was good until the end but the Dangerous tour was his peak before he relied entirely on Playback for various reasons. For that reason it is essentially his final "Live" tour as well as GNR's.

jamillos Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Shitty article, didn’t get past the first paragraph. Yeah, it’s all about money. And sure, Axl was the only one who was snappy in the media... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedYourIllusion Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Don't Cry is really the only performance from the Tokyo show I can tolerate. Wish we had better audio from the show besides the Live Era re-recordings.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The costume changes, and overall sound of the band. But I'm also a fan of the 2001-2002 lineup, so what do I know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing i can think is the Argentina 17th show is where he wore different things, maybe 3 or 4 different outfits during the concert Edited February 9, 2019 by UsedYourIllusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I think Slash didn't play in Tokyo with MJ at the time of the GnR 1992 shows there, though. He played with MJ on New Year's Eve 1992, before the early 1993 GnR shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl doesn't sound that good, the audio is brutally bad. Probably the worst sounding modern soundboard ever officially released; even the Laserdisc sounds bad. Whoever mixed it needs to never work in audio again 😂. There's 194 shows on the UYI tour, that show has to be in the bottom 10 or so.

They opened the first Tokyo show with Coma and played Locomotive at the 2nd show... it's a shame they released the 3rd night. Would've been cool if they'd released the 3rd night as the "UYI I" set (probably would've been 2 VHS tapes) and have the "UYI II" set be a compilation with performances from the other nights... I wouldn't say Tokyo is in the bottom 10 shows of the UYI tour though... Axl didn't even walk off!

You're not wrong, I mean maybe the sound isn't doing the show Justice, I don't think we'll ever know. I just mean, of the probably 80 shows I've heard from the UYI tour, easily one of my least favorites, same with the Indiana show. I just desperately want to hear more Saskatoon esque shows. I love the Chile show, but the audio is meh, same with the last Argentina show. We just need more soundboards and I'll be a happy boy 😀 But on topic, Don't Cry is really a great performance from this show, I'd only put Don't Cry alternate from Prague and maybe one of the Appetite era performances above it Edited February 11, 2019 by UsedYourIllusion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
