Yeah I paid somewhere around the latter price. To be honest, I haven't exactly played it to death, but it's nicely packaged and stuff. I'd probably go for the UYI box at anything under $100, which is still pretty pricey really considering the content. Post-Christmas sales is likely the time to look.

My only guess is Sebastian Bach but it doesn't look like him. I thought it was Sebastian and at the GAK show in 1990. Isn’t that Lars on drums?

Doubt they would have been able to change the audio of the one which has a billion views now I think about it. I thought the same but Thriller by Michael Jackson has just been updated to 4k (and looks absolutely incredible considering it’s age) They didn’t upload a new vid just replaced the original… don’t know how it’s possible but it is 🤷🏻♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine Universal and Youtube could have worked something out, if that is really what they wanted to do. Just like updating the video source as labels do.

I have serious regrets for paying what I did for this Vinyl set. But at least you paid $370 for it and not $570 with taxes and shipping from the official website ( or other websites charging full price) which many people did. I paid the same as you and although I know it will probably creep closer to the $200 - $250 range sometime down the road, I wanted to enjoy it now while it was just released. To me thats worth the extra $100 than waiting another year or so in hopes it gets to that price point. Im sure you can sell the live vinyls for a couple of hundred bucks if you just really only want to keep the blu ray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post allwaystired Posted November 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2022 Cool that they're releasing Ritz 91 since it's not only a great show but has a very unusual setlist with Mr Brownstone not being the second song, PC being early in the set and Jungle being the closer. BTW seeing how he sings fast-paced tunes like Shadow & Reckless Life pretty decently nowadays imo (angry Mickey I call it) I think Axl could do a decent job if they played Perfect Crime now. The angry Mickey sounds better than the normal Mickey 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt they would have been able to change the audio of the one which has a billion views now I think about it. Well they could technically do it. They replaced the original 480p versions of all the music videos with 1080p versions of them a few years ago, but they kept the huge viewer numbers on each video. Hopefully they leave the original audio on the main video for November Rain though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have serious regrets for paying what I did for this Vinyl set. I bought three AFD Super deluxe sets for $40 each on the official merch website back in 2019. Pretty sure it was a Black Friday deal. Sorry that you regret the UYI vinyl purchase. I had considered getting it at the discounted price, but then my CD set was delivered, and immediately saw that it was overpriced for what's in it. By comparison, Walmart is selling the Metallica Black Album box set online for $167.22, and there's way more in it than the UYI set. I'm still waiting for my Limited Edition vinyls to ship. Got an email last week stating I should have it by 11/25 (tomorrow), but that was if I got a second email with tracking information, and to date, I haven't.

I wanted to enjoy it while it was just released too but ended up downloading it/watching it on youtube before I got it anyway. It was awesome the first couple times or two but aside from the quality it isn't really one of their best shows. I have watched Ritz 88 200 times, can't see that happening with this one. It definitely has its moments though so I'll just watch select songs on youtube. I wanted the live Vinyls so I will definitely be keeping those. It is what it is.

Stay.Of.Execution Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 finally got my box. have to say: this is a top-notch high quality product. of course you can argue about the price, but it's pretty nice stuff. the photo book is amazin, the vinyls look fucking great (shoutout to the litho master arian buhler who was involved in the artwork). can't fucking wait to finally see the bluray soon. well done, gnr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I listened to the Ritz show again today at work, and it's just fucking awesome. These will be my go-to live versions of Estranged, Don't Cry, Bad Obsession, DTJ, and a few others. I've listened to the Vegas show maybe twice, it's fine but it's the '92 bloated big-band so I won't listen to the full show very often. '91 was their best Ritz show IMO... '91>'87>'88>'12 (if the '12 show even counts). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
