This is just a work in progress because the only source i have is the video posted above, but if you have a FLAC version please, post a link. Here is a sample, you can hear first the original audio and then the work in progress remaster: I did a remaster and i think it's a pretty decent one 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to talk about poor timing. There were two shows at Shoreline in 1991 on back-to-back nights and I attended the 2nd show when they didn't play it! Though, admittedly, the albums hadn't been released yet and it was much, much harder to find bootleg releases back then so I didn't even know or would have recognized the song even if they had played it. I do remember PERFECT CRIME because they opened the show with it, and others such as LIVE and LET DIE, DON'T CRY, NOVEMBER RAIN and YOU COULD BE MINE. But most the UYI songs were unknown to us fans during that tour. That show was the very first time I heard many of those tunes.

Although I had forgotten how raspy and scratchy AXL's voice sounded that night before hearing it. I only attended 3 shows back in 1991-1993, but he sounded different in each one. I always tell people that haven't seen them that YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl's vocals though...fuck, he wasn't messin' around that night. Awesome to hear. I've been wishing for ages that they would play an instrumental of Locomotive similar to Paris 92 jam with Jeff Beck. It would give Axl a break, is up-tempo enough to keep the crowd happy and has ample scope for soloing/extended jam sessions. You know what, that’s not a bad idea actually. It would be awesome if during slash solo part, they play an instrumental version of one of the gnr songs such as locomotive or maybe even the garden of eden. I recently saw Metallica and they had a solo spot where Kirk and Robert played an instrumental version of I disappear and Robert played anesthesia (pulling teeth) during his bass solo.
