'I dunno what is is but it's weird and it's pissed off and it calls itself Slaaaaaasshh' Axl Rose at the Ritz:D
I probably have it on a Beatamax tape in the attic
Yeah there are a couple of different versions of the video from that night, the one in my other post has ''mama kin'' and some extra audio that was not broadcast. Rocket Queen rocks the place.
Forgot to mention ''Shadow of my love '' in my previous post.
This is the setlist from that night.
1 It's So Easy
2 Mr. Brownstone
3 Outta Get Me
4 Sweet Child O' Mine
5 My Michelle

It's definitely my favourite show from them, it's just magic from start to finish.thegreengoblin wrote: »
I regard this as the 'default' GNR show, the one where they were captured at their peak in the months before they went absolutely mega. The only downside is that Axl's voice was in rag order (Rocket Queen sounds genuinely painful at times) but the show and the performance is unbeatable.
I wouldn't think his voice was a downside in that show, at all, just pure raw rock n' roll He really went for it in that show as did the rest of them. Massive exposure from it.
This is the ''Whole Lotta Rosie'' from that night in the Ritz that I was talking about in my other posts. I have the full audio from the show that night.
The YT video says it's from the Marquee in London but it's definitely from The Ritz.

There was me thinking I had a couple of rare bits of audio from the Ritz
Looks like it is from the Marquee alright, the vocals are a lot clearer compared to the other songs from the Ritz show.
Another fella commented on YT that he reckoned it was from the Ritz show as well, nice bit of editing was done to blend it in to the audio I have.
Put me out of my misery anyway and let me know if you dig it out.0 -

It's 100 per cent from the Marquee, it's on the re-released 12 inch of Sweet Child O'Mine.
Regarding the Ritz gig, maybe downside is a bit strong a word to describe Axl's voice but compared to his usual standard at that time he definitely wasn't at his best and Slash acknowledges that in his book. Actually his description of the gig sums it up pretty well.
'It wasn't one of our greatest shows by any means. Axl was having vocal problems, and although we didn't play badly, we'd played so much better in the recent past. In any case it was loose and out of tune and punk rock, and for those reasons alone it is something to be recognized'.
While we're all on the subject I have to mention another part of the gig, during Rocket Queen when Axl, having wandered off stage for the second verse, gets a light from Slash and is interrupted by a stage invader who wants to high-five Slash! It's all just so casual and loose and it's brilliant. And then to top it all off Axl disappears again for the end and we get a stunning instrumental blow out. There was no other band like them.
3:24 for the high five!

Yeah that sums it up from the man himself :cool:
Flicked through it earlier, so many good moments like that in the show. Always something to catch your eye, the mellow intro to 'My Michelle' before blasting it out, Thin Lizzy t-shirt on Axl, leads coming out of the guitars and of course the mighty finish of 'Rocket Queen'.
Steven Adler is showing the effects of those years but still has the touch.lord lucan wrote: »Exhibit A: SCOM 12".
Cheers for clearing that up, Lord Lucan. Was pretty convinced in all honesty that it was from The Ritz.
Must dust off my ''Appetite for Destruction'' LP and blast it out. Not a weak song on it, favourite album for sure.Motley Crue wrote: »I remember Steven Adler referenced this in a quote a few years ago, he said something along the lines of "the original line up died after 1989, look at the MTV Awards performance, that was the true GNR" or something to that effect - funny enough I've never actually seen this one performance until now. Thanks for sharing!
I didn't feel quite the same about them after the 'Illusion' albums were released. The albums had their moments and some great shows to watch, but the real magic was in that original line up.0 -
