Setlist of the very first Guns N' Roses gig (03/26/1985)

[Sosso]

I always wondered which songs were included at the very first GN'R gig. We know from Mark Center that these songs were played at the 06/06/1985 gig:

Reckless Life

Shadow of Your Love

Jumpin' Jack Flash

Think About You

Move to the City

Don't Cry

Nice Boys

Back Off Bitch

Anything Goes

Heartbreak Hotel

Is it possible that they already played Think About You, Move To The City and Anything Goes prior to June 1985?

New Hollywood Rose played 'Anything Goes'. That was the line-up that existed June - August 1984, featuring Axl, Slash, Adler and Steve Darrow . Rose also played Anything goes when he joined LA Guns c. October 1984. 

Considering the demo, recorded January 1984, is by the earlier incarnation of Hollywood Rose (Axl, Chris Weber, Izzy), and that they played a bunch of shows from January to April 1984, it seems reasonable to presume that Hollywood Rose played it also.

Even the band members gave no information in their interviews. Someone should ask Tracii or Izzy some questions about this gig.

the only thing axl has left after this is to do a deep cuts tour with original 5 that is all pre 90 then he will make more money or else needs to release something new thats his only card other than axl dc - if he records with axldc and goes back to do a deep cuts tour i'd be ok with that and encore beings dust n bones, 14 years and pretty tied up

Ole was fired after the second rehearsal.

>>After that second practice, another rehearsal was set for a tentative „in a few days“. Ole neglected to tell anyone about his newest girlfriend, so when the next practice got scheduled, there was no way to get ahold of him. After three days of no one hearing from him, and rehearsal scheduled for the following evening, Izzy said “If Ole doesn't want to be in the band, there's a guy who lives across the street from me who will do the show.“<<

I’d kill to hear Don’t Cry performed live for the first time. Favorite Guns song.

[t-p-d-a]

 

[zombux]

umm... are you sure the date is correct? because I'm really not sure. what's the source of this recording?

[sousadias]

According to GNRontour, the first show was with Ole, Duff joins on the second show. http://gnrontour.com/

[zombux]

can't tell the source of that vid... sounds 1985-86-ish for sure. on the other hand, that youtube channel is advertising also other 1985 shows, and in fact those are some 1986 shows that we already have for a long time. so...

That is wrong

So Raz Cue says one thing and Marc Canter something else. Who are we to believe?

I would say Raz becauce Marc's first GN'R concert was with Slash in the band

Edited November 12, 2017 by Sosso

[SoulMonster]

Even so, Marc does list the April 24 gig in his book, and lists Ole as the bass player for this gig. What is Marc's source for this? Also, the flyer for the March 26 gig depicts Ole. But I suppose the flyer was made before the gig. Both the flyers for the April 11 and April 24 gigs lack a picture of the bass player, so I suppose they either wasn't sure if Ole or Duff was going to be the permanent member.

Btw, who the hell is Raz Cue? 

[Sosso]

GN'R's first manager. There is a Appetite for Distortion podcast with him.

Can't remember ever having heard anyone in the band talk about him.

I wonder how Don't Cry sounded with Tracii on guitar while he was in the band. There are some cover versions from later years but they seem to replicate the album version
