zigzagbigbag Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 To be honest, the get the Ritz 91 show on Blu Ray is awesome. The absence of demos is a major bummer. And really annoying is that you don’t even get all the tracks if you buy a deluxe bundle but would have to buy the double cds in addition. This is a(nother) fucked up rip off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there will be a hidden treat this time….the complete list of demos on a little USB…..that’s easy to do surely 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love Axl Rose Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 1 hour ago, thunderram said: Locomotive was only played a few times in total, and none of those shows are represented in any of the releases. IIRC, Breakdown was never performed live so there was zero chance of that. Not even sure GoE was ever performed live during that era either. According to setlist.fm they played Breakdown 2 times, Locomotive 6 times, Garden of Eden 2 times, and Coma 5 times during UYI tour. Therefore, they could publish these too, if it is true that every concert was recorded. The quality doesn't have to be top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I'll stream all of the contents for sure. Probably obtain and watch the Ritz show once, maybe twice. At least they've finally announced it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimalScream Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Full announcement is on the Store section of their website, which redirects to gnrmerch.com. I would guess that is not directly managed by them (or TB) as their social media. Also funny how there is still no news on their main page.

The thing that I was most looking forward to was possibly hearing the old demos/alt mixes etc. Even those other live tracks are mostly ones we've heard before. Would've been cooler if they had included Coma from Chicago 92 and other more rare tracks like that. I think the Saskatoon 93 video was more exciting than this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickodez Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 All i wanted to know. A full peak GnR in high resolution, this shit is gonna be a hit on youtube, people love to watch legendary shows in modern video quality, it's the best ''time machine'' we have in real life. The bonus disc is a Blu-ray Video of the complete Live In New York concert film, newly transferred from 35mm film prints to 4K UHD and presented in 1080p 24fps HD, in its entirety, along with audio mixed in Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround, and PCM 48kHz 24-bit stereo. The Blu-ray menu features the brand-new live music video "You Could Be Mine." This is the first-time release of any complete audio and video concerts from the Use Your Illusion era GN'R. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the same reason the video isn't on their official youtube, so they don't have to pay any movie rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more the lack of alt mixes that’s disappointing - there are loads of demos out on the net but not the Clearmountain mixes. I really did think we would get a cleaned up version of AGD too.

Popular Post UncleJosh Posted September 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2022 This is close to my ideal deluxe box set (I wish it had a show from 1993 though). All live recordings. I have almost zero interest in any demos or alt mixes or outtakes other than as a one off curiosity. I would check them out once and then they would sit on my hard drive unlistened to again just like all the ones from the AFD set. The only tracks I keep on my media player and phone are the actual album and the live tracks. The rest are disposable and not worth repeat listens. I don't care if we have heard some or all of the live shows in bootleg quality, the official mixes blow those away. I have been listening to YCBM on repeat all morning. That is why I love live recordings. Not perfect but that feel cannot be duplicated with any studio recording. IMHO of course. I know many feel differently. I do wish the crowd was a little more in the mix but hopefully for the BluRay at least it will be mixed in surround a little better. This is the best thing GNR has released since the actual UYI albums themselves. The biggest disappointment was the lack of live shows in the AFD set and that has been remedied here for me at least. I haven't been this excited about this band since I saw them in 2016. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio is available on the MA December 1991 bootleg I was at this show. I couldnt believe they were playing it. This is one of my top 3 concerts I have been to in my life. I will never forget how the concrete floor was shaking. Everyone standing on their seats and ushers trying in vain to get people down. The titty show before on the screens and the girl and her boyfriend being tossed because she was hoisted up and he was fingering her for the cameras, lol. I would love a soundboard (or the video) of this show. One of my holy grail items. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitchisback Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I'll wait for a price drop on that super deluxe vinyl set. Hoping it goes down to 250 lol Strange the deluxe CD editions have songs that don't seem to be available on any other set. I guess I'll pick those up too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
