SEPTEM Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 For me argentina 93,(well a lot of skin n bones leg were magnificent), but that buenos aires 1993 last couple of shows were perfect in so many ways. Axl voice reached a magical sound, body, tone, agresiveness/tenderness when needed, plus he was so into the songs . that nr withwith only axl and slash .. Ohh .. That patience with "imagine" at the midle. The entire acoustic set... The París 92 was insanely wonderfull, but those last couple of shows in 93 ... Over the f..kn top. ILL give like pretty much "anything" for those shows with tokio 92 quality. However, ive got to say.. Right now the band is reaching a very interesting, high, important enormes "shape level" so who knows, it seems like we may get a 2016/2017 show to argue the old ones ( not quite yet, but im pretty sure we will) 1
ssiscool Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 i maintain the Skin n Bones leg of the UYI tour is the best with some of the best preformances to date. 2
blackrose87 Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 There's a few that standout for me all of which I think have been mentioned already. Late show 88 is really raw and loose as is Middletown 88. Ax's vocals really are incredible on videos of these show. Then at the Freddie Mercury tribute in 92 the band is really a huge stadium band at that point and firing on all cylinders. Maybe unpopular opinion but I'm not too fond of the Ritz 88 always felt it was rather overhyped and that there were better performances available from that period. 1

Nightrain is the only truely decent song from that show
moreblack Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Marquee 87. Magical performance from start to finish. 2

That's because it's the only bootleg from that era with good quality - Melbourne, Tokyo, and other US shows are a lot better performance-wise, but harder to listen to. Still a good show, Nightrain, Mama Kin & Rocket Queen are all great, even though Axl leaves for half of RQ...

Even the band say it was bad gig

I agree with ssiscool but I think 93 is considered one of the best because they had more songs to play. '87 was the best in my mind but Nosaj makes a good point, song catalogue balanced with performance it could be considered their best year. Edited July 15, 2016 by aliexpress It still didn't make sense

Best Axl vocals and well-balanced energy Best Slash guitar sound Best Matt Sorum drumming Best setlist (good rotation of original songs and covers) Best modified versions of songs (November Rain acoustic solos, Nice Boys long version, DTTJ with long intro, Patience with Imagine interlude) Etc. Maybe I should have been more specific and said that 1993 was the best year for the band live sound. But the album of covers TSI? released that year featured incredible Axl vocals and killer Matt Sorum drumming. 3

Im not saying I don't enjoy the 93 bootlegs but I guess I just prefer the angrier sound of the club days.
3rd Wheel Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I have always placed "Patience" at the AMA show up there as one of the greatest — if not the greatest. I'm a heterosexual male, and no doubts about it, but Axl is fucking sexy in this performance. 1

gnr>everything Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 These are some of my favorite performances: And this last one, partly because it's the first live video of Guns N' Roses I ever watched:

Go on live tv, play a song slower n more mellow than anything out there. Duff had to slow fuckin Don Henley down for fuck sake. Patience was already out there, but still. Fuckn A GnFnR.

Axl's vocals are in prime form. Yes. The only thing that comes close vocally is WTTJ from the VMAs and Patience from the 89 AMA's. Axl was at his peak here. Just listen to his cover of Free Fallin'.
BadApples87 Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Original 5 is the best! Audio from those clips is great! My favorite live performance to watch is and always will be Live at the Ritz. But anything 87-93 is boss! Edited July 20, 2016 by BadApples87
