Live Era '87-'93 [PA] by Guns N' Roses (CD, Nov-1999, 2 Discs, Geffen Records USA)

This is an excellent double cd set. The performance by Guns N Roses on these tracks is exceptional. You get both quality and quantity when you get this cd set. I was very pleased, as it was better then I expected it to be.

I'm 31 years old and Guns $ Roses in one of my favorite bands. This 2 disc album contains all the band's greatest hits from all times. Guns $ Roses are a unique band with their live show and with their live performance, which is always amazing to hear.
The band just record new album, so if you don't know this band (probably implausible), then this is a very good album to start with.
Recommended for all music lovers............ Run to buy!!!

Safer than an actual G'nR ticket! I had thought G'n R was awful live...and I was 1/3 right, the level of distortion is a bit too much for 1993 technology: too much distortion from the live recording process. There are some choice unique moments here: Axl pleading w/ the crowd to move back 1 step as peeps r getting crushed against the stage, his exploratory intro to "Used to love her". As I've never seen them live, for fear of life & limb & (my age then) I 'spose it gives u the feel of G'N R live: "You wanted the best, well they couldn't make it! From Hollywood Guns 'N Roses !!!" , "You know where the F--k u are ?!" There ain't exactly studio quality 3 part harmony on "Paradise City" & Slash's intro sounds very 'chinky' ...but hey it's 1 of best hard rock songs ever penned. Sweet Chile drags on a bit @ end. The two Use Your Illusion DVDs are better & much less distorted

Questi sono i dischi che mi hanno iniziato ad ascoltare i guns n' roses, alla chitarra di Slash (Sweet child of mine uno dei riff più belli) e a tutto ciò che comprende i Guns. La dimensione live di questi due dischi ti fa comprendere l'anima profonda di questo gruppo.
Nella loro breve carriera discografica (4 dichi più uno di cover) sono riusciti a proporre ballate favolose (patience, don't cry, november rain, estranged etc.) ma anche pezzi potenti come (sweet child of mine, nightrain, welcome to the jungle, my michelle, paradise city etc) e tutto ciò è fruibile in questi due magnifici dischi.
Quindi se volete iniziare ad ascoltare i guns o se volete il loro meglio questi sono i dischi perfetti. due cd live con i migliori pezzi dei guns.parte il primo con l'energia e la carica ke solo loro conoscono...NIGHTTRAIN e MR. BROWNSTONE per cominciare tra le urla squillanti di un AXL ROSE grintoso...anke dal vivo danno il meglio di loro....arrangiamenti musicali stupendi...bella WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE...ROSE da il massimo della voce cn PATIENCE...infatti dopo l'ultimo urlo cerca di far risposare le corde vocali, prima suonando in modo eccellente il piano, canta IT'S ALRIGHT (si sente ke nn prende note alte) riposa la voce per NOVEMBER RAIN...stridola un pò ma continua e nn si ferma....canta, canta....la versione live è meravigliosa musicalmente...il primo cd è molto travolgente...nel secondo le più classiche dei guns...DON'T CRY, YESTERDAY,PARADISE CITY...
CMQ davvero due cd fantastici....hai la sensazione di trovarti ad un loro concerto!

GUNS N ROSES WAS A BAND THAT I USE TO LISTEN TO BACK IN THE 80'S. I WAS LISTENING TO JACK FM, HERE IN CHICAGO, WHEN I HEARD AN OLD GnR SONG, WHICH BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF MY DAYS AT NMU IN MARQUETTE MICHIGAN. I REMEMBERED THE LP TITLE; WENT ON LINE; FOUND IT AND BOUGHT IT FROM THIS GREAT SELLER. MY CD WAS AT MY DOOR STEP IN RECORD TIME. THIS IS AN AWESOME CD IF YOU LIKE ROCK n ROLL FROM THE 80'S.

This cd is raw just like the band at the height of their short careers. Before self imploding this band was and still is one of the best bands of our generation. Seeing them live was a treat and something I will never forget. If you are a GnR fan pick up this cd,you won't be dissapointed.

I bought this CD because I love Guns N' Roses music. They have a very unique sound that no other group had or could even match. It is very sad that they broke up and couldn’t continue like some of the other great 70’s and 80’s bands, that are still touring to this day. The problem with this CD, is it was taped live. There is language used that I’m very embarrassed to hear myself, must less to let someone else hear it. If I had known this, I would not have purchased this particular CD. I wanted to let my grandson listen to the music also, because he also loves some of their songs. Now I can't enjoy it with him because of the language. I will look for a studio version. Maybe it will be clean, so my grandson and I can listen to this great 80's rock band together.
