When you say you recorded quite a lot is that implying most of the show or a song or two? Either way is fantastic by the way I'm just very intrigued!
The first Marquee night is definitely incomplete but I don't know anymore how much I recorded. The second is complete with a lot of other footage from that night. Same goes for the Hammersmith.

I’m a glass half full type of person so I’m willing this to be legit. And there are folk within the community (see my previous post) who would be best placed to help you…and in turn make lots of fans VERY happy! 👍
I do understand that. But I'm in my 50s and I don't see the point why someone would do this. I'm not asking for money and a few minutes of fame in a forum is not really giving me anything haha.

This was your first post which I find odd as well.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Hopefully I’m wrong but I’m very skeptical that after 34 years you decide to join this gnr group, make 1 post, then disappear for hours later.Don't get me wrong but I didn't think that there would be replies that fast. Also I have other things to do. But it's fine when you don't believe me and want to wait until there is footage to show.

I had got my hands on some old Rose Tattoo audio tapes that were a similar story and did a bit of research and ended up taking them to professionals to transfer over - they did a few things like baking the tapes to ensure they got them in the best condition before transferring them. I assume there is similar best practice for VHS, but I'd defintiely recommend looking around for the most professional outfit given how rare what you have in your hands is.
This is the first time I've ever heard of any footage from the Hammersmith Odeon show and that was one of GN'Rs best based on the audio and reports at the time. - would be great to see a bit.
As I said I didn't check the tapes since like 30 years. They were stored up well, so they should be fine. It's Video8 tapes by the way, no VHS. I never transferred them.

Hello everyone. I'm sorry to push this old thread up but I do have footage of 2 of those Marquee gigs.
I'm friends with the Quireboys, back then Queerboys, did a bit of roadie work and recorded them back in the days. The Marquee was like our 2nd living room for a while and they played the night after GNR's first night and GNR came to watch their gig which more or less got them the support spot a few months later at the Hammersmith.
I don't want to bore you so to shorten the story, I taped quite a lot of their first and second night at the Marquee and also the Hammersmith gig. I haven't checked the tapes in like 30 years and actually just dug them up 2 weeks ago. Also need to find a way to transfer the old tapes but if you guys are interested in the footage I'll put it up somewhere after I transferred them.
So let me know and I see what I can do.

Video Footage of Marquee stint in 87
in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Posted
I'm in Hampstead. If someone in London has the equipment to digitise the footage and is willing to meet, no problem. Otherwise I talked to the user Lim666 already to meet in around 2 weeks in Hamburg as I will be in Germany then anyway.
I got a lot of messages about those tapes, so I want to answer a few questions that are coming up here:
I do not want to sell the tapes. I won't send the tapes. It's 7 Video8 tapes. Not everything is from the Guns gigs, I recorded a lot before and after the gigs, also a bit of the support bands. There might also be footage (I simply can't remember) that I don't want to make public as it's private scenes of the band(s) not on stage. If Guns N Roses wants those tapes to use them somehow, feel free to contact me and I'll give you copies for free. The gigs I will share as I was allowed back then to film and those are my private recordings. I can't choose a favourite gig as all of them were great for different reasons.
