I made some quick analysis of the live tracks in order to decide what I should buy. I just share it if it helps :

- it's a total of 63 live tracks if we look at the box + deluxe 2CDS

- 5 of them were on Live era (maybe we will have original vocal track instead of reworked but as always we don't know)

LIVE IN NEW YORK - Ritz Theatre – May 16, 1991 5. DUST N’ BONES

LIVE IN LAS VEGAS - Thomas & Mack Center – January 25, 1992 1. NIGHTRAIN

LIVE IN LAS VEGAS - Thomas & Mack Center – January 25, 1992 10. ROCKET QUEEN 

LIVE IN LAS VEGAS - Thomas & Mack Center – January 25, 1992 5. YESTERDAYS

LIVE IN LAS VEGAS - Thomas & Mack Center – January 25, 1992 8. MOTHER* / PARADISE CITY

- these bonus tracks on UYI1 and 2 2CDS are useless if you get the box because they are included in the full shows :

UY1CD2 LIVE IN LAS VEGAS - Thomas & Mack Center – January 25, 1992 2. BAD OBSESSION (Live in Las Vegas – 1/25/92)*

UY1CD2 LIVE IN NEW YORK - Ritz Theatre – May 16, 1991 3. RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO HELL (Live in New York – 5/16/91)*

UY1CD2 LIVE IN NEW YORK - Ritz Theatre – May 16, 1991 6. LIVE AND LET DIE (Live in New York – 5/16/91)*

UY1CD2 LIVE IN NEW YORK - Ritz Theatre – May 16, 1991 9. DON’T CRY (ORIGINAL) (Live in New York – 5/16/91)*

UY1CD2 LIVE IN NEW YORK - Ritz Theatre – May 16, 1991 10. YOU AIN’T THE FIRST (Live in New York – 5/16/91)*

UYI2CD2 LIVE IN NEW YORK - Ritz Theatre – May 16, 1991 1. PRETTY TIED UP (Live in New York – 5/16/91)*

UYI2CD2 LIVE IN NEW YORK - Ritz Theatre – May 16, 1991 4. YOU COULD BE MINE (Live in New York – 5/16/91)*

UYI2CD2 LIVE IN LAS VEGAS - Thomas & Mack Center – January 25, 1992 9. SO FINE (Live in Las Vegas – 1/25/92)*

UYI2CD2 LIVE IN LAS VEGAS - Thomas & Mack Center – January 25, 1992 13. ESTRANGED (Live in Las Vegas – 1/25/92)* 

- At the end of the day if you get everything you will have :

1/ Full Ritz 91

2/ Full Vegas 92

3/ 10 "rare" songs from Paris 92

LIVE IN PARIS – Hippodrome de Vincennes - 6/6/92 4. ALWAYS ON THE RUN (with Lenny Kravitz) (Live in Paris – 6/6/92)*

LIVE IN PARIS – Hippodrome de Vincennes - 6/6/92 7. ATTITUDE (Live in Paris – 6/6/92)*

LIVE IN PARIS – Hippodrome de Vincennes - 6/6/92 11. IT’S ALRIGHT / NOVEMBER RAIN (Live in Paris – 6/6/92)*

LIVE IN PARIS – Hippodrome de Vincennes - 6/6/92 13. WILD HORSES (Live in Paris – 6/6/92)*

LIVE IN PARIS – Hippodrome de Vincennes - 6/6/92 5. DRUM SOLO (Live in Paris – 6/6/92)*

LIVE IN PARIS – Hippodrome de Vincennes - 6/6/92 6. SLASH SOLO (Live in Paris – 6/6/92)*

LIVE IN PARIS – Hippodrome de Vincennes - 6/6/92 7. SPEAK SOFTLY, LOVE (LOVE THEME FROM THE GODFATHER) (Live in Paris – 6/6/92)*

LIVE IN PARIS – Hippodrome de Vincennes - 6/6/92 8. SAIL AWAY SWEET SISTER (Live in Paris – 6/6/92)*

LIVE IN PARIS – Hippodrome de Vincennes - 6/6/92 11. MAMA KIN (featuring Steven Tyler & Joe Perry) (Live in Paris – 6/6/92)*

LIVE IN PARIS – Hippodrome de Vincennes - 6/6/92 12. TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN’ (featuring Steven Tyler & Joe Perry) (Live in Paris – 6/6/92)*

For reference there are 2 additional songs from Paris 92 on Live Era

"It's So Easy" (from Appetite for Destruction)

"Sweet Child o' Mine" (from Appetite for Destruction)

Hence you can play UYI2CD2 Sail Away and just after SCOM from Live Era and get the full momentum (if you can deal with '99 vocals on Live Era) or you can just wonder why they decided to include Sail Away WITHOUT SCOM.

4/ 4 "not played that much because it was Izzy's songs and it was his last show with classic GNR" songs from London 91

UY1CD2 LIVE IN LONDON – Wembley Stadium - 8/31/91 1. PERFECT CRIME (Live in London – 8/31/91)*

UY1CD2 LIVE IN LONDON – Wembley Stadium - 8/31/91 5. DUST N’ BONES (Live in London – 8/31/91)*

UY1CD2 LIVE IN LONDON – Wembley Stadium - 8/31/91 8. DOUBLE TALKIN’ JIVE (Live in London – 8/31/91)*

UYI2CD2 LIVE IN LONDON – Wembley Stadium - 8/31/91 2. 14 YEARS (Live in London – 8/31/91)*

5/ 2 songs from Rock in Rio 91, with the only Bad Apples live version and KOHD (nothing special I think)

UY1CD2 LIVE IN RIO - Rock in Rio - 1/23/91 12. BAD APPLES (Live in Rio de Janeiro – 1/23/91)*

UYI2CD2 LIVE IN RIO - Rock in Rio - 1/23/91 10. ONLY WOMEN BLEED / KNOCKIN’ ON HEAVEN’S DOOR (Live in Rio de Janeiro – 1/20/91)*

It really helped me to list all that because now I am pretty sure I don't want to purchase this, streaming will be enough.

PS : And November Rain has a new orhchestra track but I am not ready to speak about this yet.

UYI I features “November Rain” with a real 50-piece orchestra for the first-time ever – Newly recorded, conducted & arranged by Grammy® Award winner & Emmy Award nominated composer Christopher Lennertz.

No demo and rerecorded parts, they add insult to injury !

Let's talk about artwork, we have :

- recycled GNR art (GNFNRS graffiti from UYI era, GNR was here from AFD era, GNR logo)

- school them art ( campus typo fro Hard Skool, locker picture)

- usual GNR sexual joke

- but what is the S in the top left corner, I don't think this is random, this must be related to something ?

This is a big improvement from the Village session, Duff's bass and Slash's guitar gives another dimension to an already great song. So yes somehow GNR has released a new song and it's good.

Shit, it means a lot !

It's been posted to BitTube as "hard stool"

Anything else than ISE, it's a great song but after 175 shows they could change it.

That said, I would love a real surpise, like Get In The Ring, Pretty Tied Up or Right Next to Door Hell.

Isn't in weird that Zodiac is marked specifically as "no vox" when there are a bunch of other instrumentals on these cds? 
Could it be becuase Zodiac had finished lyrics written but they weren't recorded yet?

This is something I was wondering this morning, are we 100% sure that the RMCD 2 to 4 are instrumentals only ?

This is 5.1 Center channel with drums/bass/raw vocals. Amazing focus on Duff and Steven.

For $150 I would have appreciated separate standard CD cases in the package so I have done them myself

Was impressed with mine too. I used the download code and it allowed me to download all 4 CDs. I think they have now since changed this to just the album.

Same here I have used it yesterday and got the 4 CDs in aaif losless format.
