TheSeeker Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hey Marc,We were discussing in the main forum a while back about how many professionally filmed GNR shows were shot on videotape as opposed to film because that's what live broadcasting required at the time (Freddie Mercury Tribute, Paris 1992 pay-per-view, etc.). The conversation started because the Freddie Mercury Tribute is coming out soon on Blu Ray, but it's just the standard-definition video feed upscaled to high-definition.Were any GNR shows shot with film stock? I know Ritz 1988 was shot and edited a few weeks before its broadcast on MTV. If it was indeed shot on film and the reels still exist, it would be amazing to see that show remastered and released on Blu Ray.Eagle Rock has been restoring old shows for Blu Ray and they do a really great job:http://www.eagle-rock.com/product/ERBRD5066/Ladies+%26+Gentlemen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recklessroad Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I don't know for sure but I do know that in 1993/1994 they were working on a GNR movie documentary so I would think there were some shows that were filmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Any more info on that documentary? Is that the Making Of Illusions thing that Del was working on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recklessroad Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yes it was the one Del was working on. I once saw a teaser for it and it was killer. Too bad the band fell apart at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I wonder if Duff's going to use some of the footage in his documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy_Stradlin_XX Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Doesn't a show need to be multi tracked so it cqn be released officialy? That would be a problem for the AFD tours, I think they didn't multi track any of them.Slash said that every show from the UYI tour was recorded, so I'm assuming they were multi tracked and videotaped.I might be wrong though. I also heard about that 1986 show at The Roxy (?) that was recorded professionaly. Edited August 2, 2013 by Izzy_Stradlin_XX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not The Roxy, but I heard one of the club shows was recorded or a soundboard leaked through a roadie or something, that's were the Ain't Going Down recording is coming from. Probably at the Whisky, I can't tell for sure. Anyways, thanks for the awnser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The live era CD came out after Slash departed from GN'R so the documentary had nothing to do with it, and it will probably never see the light of day.

Izzy_Stradlin_XX Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Hi Mark, do you know why the shows from Australia in 1988 and the show at the Spectrum, in Philadelphia in the same year were recorded pro shot? Where they intended for public release? Edited August 5, 2013 by Izzy_Stradlin_XX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
