One sad possibility is that they didn't film the gig as a whole - instead filming only bits and fragments and individual shots to be used for the music video.

 

That's not how you film a video because you don't know what will be useable or what looks good in the edit. 

 

You film everything from all angles that you can. Film the entire show. Then you edit in all the cool shots and then slap on the music.

Well yes, but this video looks just like dudes were holding cameras randomly. Everything is shakey as shit. Edited together it's great but was it filmed with the intent to distribute this professionally? No.

I can't say for Cathouse exactly but that seems to have been common practice in the 70's and 80's, when filming music videos, as film stocks were (and are) quite expensive.

That being said, I sure hope that they filmed the whole thing and it would surface someday, the quality is amazing and it looks like a wild gig B-)

I especially love the shot of Axl singing and standing staunchly while the audience is tearing his shirt off. They sure were menacing mofos back then!

The Menacing Mofos, lol

I know it's hardly important but it's pretty weird that Axl had his hair teased up in the video seeing it was 1989, thought he stopped doing that in 87.

i am 100% speculating here i suppose it maybe has to do with what Alan said in the interview for the Appetite for Destruction podcast that the whole idea of shooting that video/live performance was to capture the spirit if the band in that era (as a kiss-off to that era)

Apologies, I meant to do this earlier today and it slipped my mind. I see what you're saying about this show in particular. I do not ever see GN'R releasing it because, well, they don't seem to want to release anything, but I'm happy to move the topic back to D&N for you :)

thanks mate!

I would lean on that they DID film the whole thing as all these moments like jumping into the crowd and little nuances seem to be cheery picked from the entirety of a performance, than set ups to get for a music video...Just my thoughts.

Years ago Marc Canter himself confirmed the setlist as he filmed the whole show. His video footage is not to be seen on the leaked or official video.
