My favorite part is just after the whistle and you see Slash "crab Running" sideways across the shot. 59 minutes ago, Oldest Goat said: Agreed. We Will Rock You was cool. Great show. Is it available on BluRay? Yeah the whole show is on Blu-ray and i beleive that it's not out on UHD yet. The preformance of KOHD is my favourite of all time. Love the Only Women Bleed intro. Watch Duff check on Axl just as they finish Only Women and go into Heavens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I basically stopped liking live Guns N' Roses in 1992. I couldn't get over how the raw, punkish rock band that had come across as a cohesive unit had evolved into a cabaret act with backup singers, Teddy and Dizzy, Izzy gone, a poodle on drums, and all the posturing and clothes changes. It became an act more than a loose and spontaneous rock show. Or at least that's how I felt it back then, and watching it again now I haven't really changed opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Tonight on the CW channel will have a special about Freddie Mercury the last years. I think there will be footage from this event too. Can't believe it's been so long since Freddie died. Time goes by too damn fast and too many amazing musicians have gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Matt called this Axl’s greatest performance…hard to disagree. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPR714 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 The band was TIGHT that day. They killed it. Amazing when less is more by playing only 2 songs as opposed to 3 hours. Less chance for everything going off the rails. LOL The best rendition of KOHD ever recorded. Give me some reggae! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, the "cabaret act" as you put it, suits the music. Illusions are no where near as raw and aggressive as Appetite. I don't think the appetite image would of suited them playing songs like So Fine, Estranged, November Rain, Yesterdays 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystery Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I think Brian May had a post on Instagram not to long ago praising the performance of the band and particularly Axl. Feels like the start of the friendship between Brian May and Guns as he'd do some work during the Chinese Democracy sessions 7 years later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually became friends the year prior when they met him after the Wembley show.

I considered it seriously but concluded that I disagree. The music on the UYIs would benefit more from not having backup singers and Teddy, and I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't so overblown and came across as more honest and genuine and less posturing and pretentious.

See I dont know if the songs would work if they were less overblown. The 87 November Rain versions, while good seem lacking overall. Out of interest, how do you feel about some of the shows from the skin n bones leg of the illusions tour where they got rid of all the horns sections, back up dancers etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
