DannyVinyard Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I absolutely love the Live Era versions of KOHD, Estranged, and November Rain. Vocals are 10/10. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papashaun Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I always listen to the Live Era version of Estranged....when I've got nothing better to do, than to commit Harakiri. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedYourIllusion Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Due to the bands quite terrible/very small live collection, some of the Live Era tracks are incredibly precious--such as You're Crazy from the '88 Tokyo show, Dust N' Bones from the Ritz '91 show, Out Ta Get Me from the Marquee show '87, Paradise City from Las Vegas. It's just a damn shame that the vocals are rerecorded. There are Soo many great performances they could've just picked other ones, but they didn't I honestly think an official GN'R record from the UYI era, no overdubs, would be incredible. Opening with Perfect Crime and Right Next Door to hell, Brownstone, bad Obsession and Dust N Bones. Man, the raw and aggressive sound from that tour is the true heart of GN'R for me 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KOHD 12” single has the live version from The Freddie Mercury Tribute, I think some of the proceeds of that single were donated to the Mercury Phoenix Trust. Maybe the DJ dude played the b side instead of the A side! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could do another live album from the classic days and with the songs they left out and totally different versions of the other songs performance wise... Would love to hear one with much more songs performed by the AFD lineup and stuff from the Skin N' Bones tour.. I always thought to would be cool if they did a second volume of live era, one disk with 11 songs that didn’t make the first one, second disc with the ‘88 Ritz concert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual live performances without re-recorded vocals that sound nothing like Axl did during the UYI tour, that would be a start. Live era is a disaster compared to what they could have made it, there's a reason it's not a known GNR record. And there's still people who want more of Ritz 88 and haven't heard it 1000 times? I'd rather have other shows from that era. One of the unedited jewels that made it onto Live era is a japan 88 version of You're Crazy, that's the definitive version for me. Who knows how many more performances like that are rotting in a vault somewhere. Edited September 7, 2020 by StrangerInThisTown 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s actually pretty astonishing they’ve never officially released it but this is GNR we’re talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocals are 10/10. Estranged was taken from Tokyo 1992, and the original live vocals were great as they were. Axl’s re-recorded studio vocals sound like ass. More like 5/10 and that’s being generous... I will say though, the actual live vocals were Axl hasn’t redone them, are pretty fantastic. KOHD being a great example, same for Don’t Cry.

UsedYourIllusion Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I'd prefer a proper version of Estranged from the Chicago or Oklahoma show. Much better than Tokyo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the reason I bought it. Wish there was a version of "dust in the wind" on there too!! Love the re-recorded vocals but wish the 'Live Era' was 100% live and they'd released the newer vocals as a separate album.

Best performance of TIL too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
