Dr. Who Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 dont forget that the 1991 warm up secret shows were shot on filmElaborate on this, please. As far as I know all the UYI tour shows were videotaped only. Are you 100% sure those secret gigs were shot on film?They were used in the YCBM music video which suggests they were shot on film or at least parts were.

stella Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Realistically u can't just release ALL of those shows. After a while you'd feel like youre watching the same thing over and over, Id think.Id just pick the best handful to put out, reallyIt's a salient point, IMHO, that people are sometimes inclined buy the shows they attended. Whether it's because it was an epic show or simply because they want to try to find a glimpse of themselves and their friends in the crowd, it happens. The UYI show I attended was not one of their best. And that's putting it kindly. However, I'd certainly buy a copy of the video for posterity, and to see if the way I remember it was as it actually was.I haven't seen this in a while, but in the mid-2000s I remember seeing a company at a lot of concerts that would sell you a recording of the show you were at. Their booth was usually mobbed.And in this day and age where they can burn DVDs on demand or offer streaming video, the investment isn't the same as it would be if they were having to produce and release 150 different DVDs. They can throw those shows up on Amazon, Netflix or ITunes to be purchased piecemeal, and create some sort of package deal for the diehards who actually want a lot of them.

RussTCB Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 All of the UYI shows that are recorded should be released for fans to buy. It'd be super easy & cheap for both audio and video to be available for download. That's was Axl should do with it. That's not what he'll do with it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the company was called Simfy Live,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_Sonic_Boom_Over_EuropeCannot say from personal experience that the booth was mobbed but then, the English are a pecuniary and tightfisted people.

VERY RAREyou can see more of that same footage (this only from the pantages show, apparently) on this mr brownstone video According to youtube description = Rare video shot and Directed by Mark Racco at The Pantages Theatre in Hollywood May 11th 1991 as the band previewed material for their upcoming Use Your Illusion I&II Albums.

ceres Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I think you are confusing GN'R with Pearl Jam or Springsteen, i.e. acts who actually cares about their fan base and are competent enough to deliver archival projects. This is Team Brazil/Axl. Anniversaries are celebrated with a new competition for a towel via Nightrain.You hit the nail on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lim666 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 "If" an 1991 illusion show would have to be released.....why the hell not vote for this one?06.25.91 - Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, NCopening act: Skid Rowaudio/video recording?: nonotes: Apparently another long show - estimated to be around 215 minutes!! GN'R hit the stage an hour late, at 10 p.m. A large part of the audience left early, leaving many empty seats. Axl asks the audience to forgive them if their playing is a bit sloppy since they're still learning to play the new songs. After about 12:30 a.m., Axl invites the remaining audience to move down to the lower premium seats.215min Proshot/SBD we never have heard any amateur audio or amateur video?!?! that's be nearly 4h unseen/unheard live footage with the UYI Izzy era!!!
