Axl Rose aka God Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 So I've gotten really good at upscaling and remastering footage and upscaling audio by adding fidelity. With this I've decided to try my hand at remastering some Guns N' Roses footage. However, I need some help from all of you. Well, most of you. Not the double talkin' jive motherfuckers. I'm looking for recommendations of footage. Preferably pro-shot. If a recent performance was considered one of the greatest but is only available in fan-cam footage or something I'll consider it, pending that the quality isn't beyond remastering. So what I'm looking for is five to ten performances of particular songs. You vote which is the best corresponding to the decade/time next to the song. I've given fifteen options incase you feel one song doesn't belong in the compilation or incase I'm feeling bold. Sound good? Plus, this topic is great for deciding what the best performances are anyway! 1. Chinese Democracy (2006 onward. Not accepting 2001 or 2002 because the song sounded differently)2. Welcome to the Jungle (any time, would prefer not to use The Ritz in 88)3. Sweet Child O' Mine (1980s)4. Better (I'm thinking Rock Am Ring 2006 but its up to you guys)5. Nightrain (any time period)6. Paradise City (1990's)7. November Rain (1990's)8. Rocket Queen (any time period)9. Perfect Crime (any time period)10. Don't Cry (any time period)11. You Could Be Mine (1990's)12. Knockin' On Heaven's Door (2000's, I'm thinking Rock Am Ring 2006)13. Estranged (any time period)14. Catcher in the Rye (obvious...)15. Civil War (1990s)It's very hard to limit this list to merely ten songs, or even five. I had trouble picking fifteen options honestly but I think these songs have all sounded great live when I've heard them. So get to choosing! Name the show, the date, and possibly a link to the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had trouble picking fifteen options honestly but I think these songs have all sounded great live when I've heard them. So get to choosing! Name the show, the date, and possibly a link to the performance.1. Chinese Democracy » RIR 2001 (imho the best pro-shot version of the song, I liked the raw punk style it had back then)2. Welcome To The Jungle » Tokyo 1992, Chicago 1992, Florida 20113. Sweet Child O' Mine » Tokyo 1988 (I believe)4. Better » Download Festival 2006, LA 2006 (It's not proshot but it shits all over the Rock Am Ring performance)5. Nightrain » Rock Am Ring 2006 (hands down)6. Paradise City » Freddie Mercury tribute7. November Rain » Indiana(?) 1991, It was the first time they played it live I believe. Anyway, it was a stripped down version and it was awesome.8. Rocket Queen » London 2010, Osaka 2007, Toronto 20109. Perfect Crime » Indiana 1991, St.Louis 199110. Don't Cry » St.Petersburg 2010, Tokyo 199211. You Could Be Mine » Oklahoma 1992, Paris 199212. Knockin' On Heaven's Door » Rock Am Ring 2006, Tokyo 201013. Estranged » Anything fromm 2011 (except Rock In Rio), and MAYBE Indiana 1991 if you don't want a 2011 version ( )14. Catcher in the Rye » L'Arc Paris 2010 (private acoustic show)15. Civil War » Oklahoma 1992Hope this helps a little! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I would do one mix of club & theater shows, one mix of arena and stadium shows from over the years. The acoustic stuff works better in smaller settings. If you have one or two songs on both, that's fine, because they're going to be a little different.

Axl4Prez2004 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Nightrain Rock Am Ring '06. hands-down my favorite Nightrain ever.Madagascar, Budapest '06? (he changes the ending just a tad, brings the note up much higher, just beautiful), and of course - Boston '02.This I Love, Prague '10, San Sebastian 10/10/10Whole Lotta Rosie, that intro. clip GNR Poalnd uses where Axl nails the intro scream and takes it higher...sweet.Sailing, the non-acoustic version. Fucking unbelievable vocals from Axl.Better, Download...he's pissed, doesn't move, but sounds fucking great.Nice Boys, London with Duff...Axl sounds AMAZING!Those are just a few of the many special performances GNR has delivered in my opinion.

angelospadowski Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 IMO the best Estranged is Oklahoma 92...perfect soundboard quality. Better vocals than the Tokyo boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
