Blu Ray/DVD titled 'Houston, we have a (piano) problem' I'd only want a few songs from the Troubadour for a bonus. They were playing much better together later in the tour. 1

Geez. Why is Coachella historical significant? It was a show for a dull hipster crowd. If you want historical significance, it's the Troubadour show or the first Vegas show. But to release Vegas wouldn't make any sense as Axl was sitting in a chair. 1 hour ago, RussTCB said: I'd only want a few songs from the Troubadour for a bonus.

That's probably true. Although I think it would be cool to have the whole thing, to experience the atmosphere in the venue.
Joeypeeps Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 A HOUSTON blu ray would be awesome, although I would love to have some ADLER included. Love that guy! 1
Tom-Ass Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I remember Houston and Orlando being good.. Definitely not Coachella or any of those awful April shows in the chair. Didn't follow the South American tour so much.. I think they should go through all the shows and just find the best performance of each song. That would make for a pretty special Blu Ray. 1
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I think GNR should release a few different shows on a blue ray because GNR did seem to change up the set lists. Arlington show Axl sang Sorry and we didn't hear "Don't Cry". So since GNR seemed to switch up different songs for all the cities, they should combine them, so we can hear every song they performed on the US tour. 1
Live Like a Suicide Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Troubadour for iconic reasons, and Houston for performance reasons. 2
Walapino Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 DVD 1: Full Troubadour show + documentary + extras from both Vegas nights. DVD 2: Full Houston show + Extra songs that werent performed in Houston plus Adler´s appearance.

donny Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 troubadour defo. and they could slip in monsters of rock 1988 pro shot as a bonus

It's a real shame that Axl is so inconsistent. The sad part is I'd take an Axl/DC DVD over a GNR '16 show any day of the week, because I know I'd listen to it more. Watch that and tell me a GNR DVD would be better.

Well part of that is a lot of the times the instrumentalists are fairly consistent within the band especially once Frank got into a better groove with GNR this year, so Axl's voice is more of a factor because the other elements are fairly consistently awesome.
ironmt Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Have to go with Piitsburgh If we are discussing the North American part of the tour. The crowd was energized and was very loud throughout the show. Which comes as a complete surprise considering It was supposed to be one of the worst selling shows of 2016.

Agree 100%, Duff and Slash are awesome in all the shows, Axl sometimes is just going through the emotions or not putting a real effort.
scooby845 Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 do you people realise that 90% of these shows weren't professionally filmed? The best you could get would be the projector of the stage side footage... The only one with the cranes and spider camera that were professionally filmed were LA and NYC...
Xedos Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Double BluRay: Troubadour for iconic reasons (like @Live Like a Suicide already mentioned) and one of the south america shows. The audience always goes crazy over there. Just check the Argentina 93 show. The guys in front of stage go nutz during the hole set 1
dalsh327 Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I guess Houston's the "benchmark" concert, but they're probably going to have better shows in the coming year. Turning this into a concert film/documentary would be awesome and load it up with Troubadour, Coachella, tour promos, rehearsal footage, and interviews, a full length show chosen by fans, a "world tour highlights" disc featuring the best performances of each song, and a live album. Odds are they'll do another Vegas residency and do AFD from beginning to end for the 30th, put that out with the video, and an AFD Deluxe Edition in the next 2 years.

Wishful thinking I guess. The closest thing this band would do to a residency would be 3-4 shows at T-Mobile Arena or MSG or something. They're definitely not going back to theatres any time soon 1
slashfan31 Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I think It'd be kinda cool if they released something similar to Iron Maiden's Flight 666, with songs from both the NA and South American Tour 1
Tom-Ass Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) I'm still hoping they treat the fans by releasing some old school classic shit. Edited December 27, 2016 by Tom-Ass 3

Shut up, you people! You're barking up the wrong tree - I'm highly critical of this lineup. I've not hidden the fact that I'm only moderately excited about this whole reunion, and truthfully, I'd rather be seeing gigs from the 2009-2014 lineup still. I just think it's ridiculous that anyone who argued the post-93 band was not GN'R, is still arguing the 2016 band is not GN'R. I mean, to most fans, all that matters is Axl and Slash being on stage together. It's just another of those "No matter what they give us, some people are never happy" scenarios. Slash and Duff rejoin - "Oh, well it still isn't GN'R until Izzy and Adler are back full time". Coma and DTJ become staple songs of the setlist - "Setlist needs more deep cuts". Band throws in the occasional rare song - "Not enough oddities being played". Even if the Appetite 5 toured, some people would still find a way to complain about something. 4
