My first comment on this thread but as a hardcore fan in LA and serious GNR memorabilia collector for 30 years now, I would like to remind everyone that there are very few soundboard live recordings from the Appetite era in existence.  This means the band's options may be limited to choose from for a boxset live CD release.  I think that one CD may be a live soundboard recording and if so, it is likely to be one of the Marquee shows from June 87 in London, the Ritz 87 or 88, or Perkins Palace 12/30/87 in Pasadena, which is an amazing soundboard recording in circulation.  Also, many may not know that there are soundboard recordings of the Roxy 3/28/86 both shows AND the Whisky show from 8/23/86 (first performance of Sweet Child live), although these are NOT in circulation (in the vault).  These MAY be released but definitely do exist.  What other soundboard live recordings exist from the Appetite era?  I don't think there's more, unless deep in the vault... also, remember that there are rehearsal recordings in the vault: this would not be released for an Appetite boxset, but the extended Mates rehearsal tapes from 1989, for example, which are instrumental but DO include Bad Apples and Coma with Steven Adler, DO exist... in the vault... someday to see the light of day ...   -Kevin
