t-p-d-a Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 what happens with Knockin' On Heaven's Door in Rio during the first solo? Somehow the drums and bass(?) gets muted for few seconds. It isn't on bootleg audio or video. It's weird 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskingApathy Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) 18 hours ago, Sausagebrain said: Yes. That's why it's such a missed opportunity to have not included demos of the songs in this boxset. (Like the ones Slash said in his autobiography that he still had). Cant say that they would definitely be better or worse than the final product. But it would cost the songs in a different light, for sure. Still wish they had included the demos and AGD. Also I think it would've been cool if they had more full shows, like Noblesville 1991, Wembley 1991, Paris 1992, Chicago 1992, etc. Doesn't have to be perfect quality.

Wondering if the price-point and full-release format was less of a band decision and more of a label one? Could be a slight "wink wink" to the fans where they keep it up for a week or so so anyone that wants to watch it can, before they are "forced" to pull it. Maybe I'm too optimistic but considering everything gets pulled immediately and this is still up, I feel slightly intentional. On that note, I've been firmly in the camp that the leaks in 2006 to a degree were intentional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll all pay good money for it (well most of us), especially if they're nicely released in Blu-ray + 2/3CDs packages. Release one show every 6 months or whatever. Cathouse 89, Pantages 91 (if its complete), Wembley 91, Rio 91, Munich 93, etc. Do it for the fans! We waited 30 years for that Ritz gem. Lets not wait another 30 years for the next one! 🤘 Dear Beta, I'll send big bouquet of flowers every month to your doorstep for rest of my life if you convince Axl to release Munich 93. Similar to those Slash and Meegan send each other. Maybe even bigger. 4 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for them releasing pro-shot shows regardless of the quality, but preferably ones we haven't seen or have only low quality audience recordings of. We already have Chicago, Indiana, Oklahoma etc. and they had recorded so many other shows. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All GNR did was take the video that was digitized from the VHS and upload it on their channel. Saskatoon will be a better example of the quality GNR will have in their archives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band jams on 'Train Kept A Rollin' during 'Double Talkin' Jive.' Before 'Used To Love Her', Slash jams on an old John Fogerty/CCR song, 'Up Around The Bend.' Slash jams on David Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust' during 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door.' After 'Estranged,' Slash mentioned that the crowd has just participated in an upcoming video. He then goes on to say, "You don't know what the fuck I'm saying, do you?" Axl sings a bit of 'We Want The Funk' during 'Mother.

lazyyy Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Munich '93 (and Estranged video) would look great when scanned in 4K but to be honest, we don't really know if they filmed the whole show throughuly or did they only film smaller fragments here and there to just get the atmosphere shots for the video. We know that most of the close-ups were filmed separately in a studio so it might be the case that we don't have the whole Munich show on film. Cathouse '89 on the other hand might be similiar "Holy grail" as Ritz '91. IIRC, they played full show there that was filmed in entirety for the It's So Easy video, so it's similiar case as the You Could Be Mine video shoot at Ritz. Cathouse gig had original lineup, apparently they were on fire AND it was shot on film. The ISE video they released for the AFD box looks amazing in HD. Releasing Ritz '91 was great move - let's hope they would open the vault even more from now on. So for AFD box they omitted the live stuff but we got lots of demos and for Illusion box we didn't get any demos but got lots of live footage.

Maybe they first did the video shoot for It's So Easy and then they played a full show after midnight. In the It's So Easy video there is a shot of Axl playing bass, which we know he did during Rocket Queen at the other warmup show at the Plaza as well as at the Stones opening shows.

I mostly thought (not Gnr specific) that it depended on what was actually saved and available. I mean, they recut D'you know what I mean? from the camera negative: But uprezzed and smudged up Wonderwall (maybe that only existed as a SD source, but don't "HD:ify it" by that shitty smudgy algorithm (that will age like piss. Just look back at Get Back in a few years). Pearl Jam had Jeremy rescanned to 4K:https://youtu.be/MS91knuzoOA but with the Riot Act videos (shot on 35mm) they seemed to also just use an uprezzed a SD source: Get Back: This is the "brickwalled for iphone earbuds" of our film loving generation.
