I saw them the night before, but there's no good videos from that show as security were pricks. The 2010 Canadian tour had some great performances of CD songs. Also: Shackler's Revenge - London 2010 Sorry - Sydney 2010 If The World - Lima 2010 i dont like so much the If the World song, but I love the rasp version of If the world like in Chile or Porto alegre 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best you're gonna hear is on Bucharest 10 or RAR 06 like people have said where he chainsaws a much lower note. I've always found it odd because he'll go for insane notes every night in Heaven's Door, Jungle and other places but he's just never tried that IRS note. I mean even near the end of 2017 somewhere he literally was building into the pre-chorus high note on Twat and it just wasn't there. But he was going for it. IRS, never. Great info, it doesn't surprise me really. I have heard the isolated vocals from the Rock Band separates and it sounds like a one off feat of banshee-like ad-libbing!

It was the first time TWAT and Prostitute were played live in a while, and also the first time Yesterdays was played live since 1993, I think. Wasn’t Izzy also there? Can’t remember for sure, but he was definitely at one or two of those shows, on that run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hearing it for the first time live and being so excited to hear the studio version of that part. When the record finally came out in 2008 I was so sad to discover that the lead riffs were all gone from the song. Then I remember being super happy when the 2001 studio demo (with the lead parts intact) finally leaked in 2018. I was able to hear it once on YouTube, before it got taken down. Haven’t been able to find it since, but it was nice to have at least heard it once. iirc, PitMan’s parts were a little different on it too. Less orchestral and more “techno” or something.

Just to clarify: Prostitute wasn't played at the last show, but it was played at the 2 shows prior to the final one (June 4th and 6th, 2014). They did play TWAT and Yesterdays at the final show, though. Izzy wasn't at any of the 2014 shows, but Duff played several full shows with the band (some in South America, some in Vegas)... the last time Izzy played with the band was at the 2012 residency: November 23 and 24, 2012. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about Dublin '10. For any new people, Axl had a strop that night and performed most of the set literally stood still at his mic stand so not only did you get insane 2010 vocals (he still gave 100%) but without catching his breath from running. I need to re-visit that too. Was there a reason for the strop axl had that night?. Sounds like what happened at the london gig @DieselDaisy attended, where people were throwing things.

GNR 1991 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Only including “Chinese era (2001-2014)” performances: Chinese - Rio 2001 (even though this omits the fantastic Bucket solo) Shacklers - Chilé 2010 Better - RAR 2006/Bucharest 2010 The Blues - Dublin 2010/Boston 2002 If - Canada or South America 2010 TWAT - Hammerstein 2006, there’s probably a better 2009/2010 performance but I’m blanking out Catcher - L’arc 2010 Scraped - Edmonton 2010 Riad - Pukkelpop 2002 Sorry - Sydney 2010 IRS - Bucharest 2010/RAR 2006 Madagascar - Rio 2001 This I Love - Arnhem 2010 Prostitute - Vegas 2014 ———BONUS——— Oh My God - Rio 2001 Silkworms - HOB 2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Better at Download 2006 - the best version vocally by far. Axl just standing there very angry at the crowd but it sounds amazing lol Madagascar Bucharest 2006 - yeah that improvised Axl outro at the end is so great making it 10 times more epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownstone drum Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Does anyone think the current line-up has played any CD tracks better than previous line-ups?

This I Love was sometimes better, but the solo was too inconsistent. I like that they started doing part of the piano outro to Prostitute in 2017, too.

Sweersa Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) I always enjoyed the live performances of Shacklers Revenge. My dad and I heard it in Chicago in 2011, and again in Detroit in 2012. I wish they still played it, they need a guitarist capable of playing those kinds of songs, or re-work it slightly for Slash. I'd imagine Richard could play lead on it. Is Richard technically superior to Slash? Axl sounded way meaner and more intense on this song live than on the album version, which I still enjoy.

(same with Coma, My Michelle, etc.) But the 2016 versions were the best since 2010. Madagascar is cool too, it's another one where Melissa's backing vocals are really good.
