Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Is Coma on Live era somewhere or is there a special version with it on?

I only ask because www.gnrinfo.tk seems to think so:

"Coma" on "Live Era" is probably taken from the show in Omaha, Nevada, on April 10th, 1992.

If there is a Live era with Coma on - how do i get it????

Coma was released on Live Era in Japan.  You can find the live version in kazzalite...i did.  

Sorry Izzy, but you didn't really know that? :o

Eh? If i knew everything about GNR i wouldn't need to check the site would i? *resists urge to put rolling eyes smilie......must....resist........*


Thanx Fieldsy - i have bootlegs with Coma on already (somewhere) but i'd love a Live era with Coma on - Live era feels kinda incomplete without GNR's best song....

Yeah, the Live Era version is a fucking monster.  It's insanely good.  I love it.

I'll have to disagree with you on that one.  It's good in places but some parts, particularly towards the finale, are a bit messy.  Axl's struggles to keep up.

jesus...i kinda think he has every right to struggle considering the song!!!

And now I have to disagree with YOU.  Put it on at loud volumes, imagine yourself in the midst of the music.  And then enjoy.  It's fantastic.  You are wrong.  Opinion doesn't count here.  You are wrong and I am oh so right.

Live Era Coma rules your world biatch!

That Coma version is sick, but do you guys know how to find the that little "asshole" thing Axl did during the 2002 tour?

COMA is also in the American vinyl version of Live Era.  I saw it at a record store in Minneapolis once and didn't buy it...because I am a moron.

I got it off Kazaa too and its incredible imagine being there and here and feeling that song. Its like a short novel. It's not my fav GnR song but I like it alot

The Coma soundboard from Chicago is the best, although they both are good.  Coma is my favorite GNR song.  Slash's solo kicks ass and then Axl finishes the song with pure lyrical genius.  These 2 guys working together are unstoppable.

I found that off e-bay ;D Still want that giant poster they did for it though..

Considering on the studio recording, the last 2 and a half minutes or so are edited so there no space to take a breath, anyone who could keep up would be quite incredible.  Who can sing for 2 minutes without breathing?

 :-[ well thats fucked up what i always believed, i was under the impression that Coma was performed live only the once and they decided it was too hard to do does anyone know how many times this song was performed live

Axl ;)
Check the live chicago 92 video, that motherfucker manages it pretty well.

I bought it, although I am sick!! Sick I tell ya!! I can't even play it!!!!   :rofl:

www.gnrinfo.tk claims 4 times

06.04.91 - Richfield Coliseum, Richfield, OH
02.19.92 - Toyko Dome, Tokyo, Japan
04.09.92 - Rosemont Horizon, Rosemont, IL

unsure of the 4th time...

Its a fuckin' amazing song and that version rocks!!! A while back my brother gave away some of my CDs to his friends and they were never seen again. Could've killed him. GnR Live Era was amongst those CDs so I had to replace it. I had originally bought the European version of the CD in a record shop but on buying a replacement I decided to use the internet. And low and behold I found out about the Japanese version which I was delighted to purchase. It's a song I had always imagined one day hearing live when I first bought UYI1 on its release, another very exciting day that was. I remember turning up the real quiet bit of the song really fucking loud and turning out all the lights, that song is great in complete darkness, and getting lost in the whole thing. Anyway the live version would've been amazing to watch. They did real fuckin' well getting that tune organised on stage, especially in their conditions. Maybe Duff didn't drink too much that day  :beer: They just fuckin' rocked. Gonna listen to it again now, its been a while  :smoking:

Actually, if you watch him on that, you can tell that he was smart enough to leave himself a couple of breathing points in there. I always thought he did it by multi-tracking, but watching him do it live definitely makes it more impressive. By comparison, the Richfield version is not as good - you can tell it's under-rehearsed. They open with it, and at the end Axl says they just wanted to hear what it sounded like.

the 4th time was most probably this one - the Live Era version is believed to be from this show.

04.10.93 - Omaha Civic Auditorium, Omaha, NE
opening act: Blind Melon
set: It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Live And Let Die, Attitude, The Garden, Welcome To The Jungle, Coma, Yesterdays, Double Talkin' Jive, You Ain't The First, You're Crazy, Used To Love Her, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Patience, Piano Solo, November Rain, Drum Solo, You Could Be Mine, Guitar Solo, Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City
audio/video recording?: no
notes: This setlist is possibly inaccurate in terms of order. The crowd was not very receptive to Blind Melon, prompting Shannon Hoon to point to the front row and say “If you people don’t shut up, we will be here for 45 more fucking minutes!” GN’R took stage at about 10:30 p.m. and played until about 1 a.m. At some point during GN’R’s set, Axl picks up a condom and says "I found a condom." There is some debate whether or not 'Coma' was played at this show; it most likely was.

it was played in omaha.....it was the day b4 easter and it rocked...............

yeah ...its a powerfull song, with an unbelieveble rythm

The vocals are likely re-recorded.

The Live Era version is practically flawless compared with the Chicago 1992 version.

Why do the Jap's get extra tracks over the rest of the world. This happens alot with music cd's. It's just so unfair.

they have to pay more for regular cds i once heard. so they get some extra tracks as a pay off : ok:

They put extra tracks on the Japanese versions of albums because bootlegging is a major problem in Asia.

Instead of having the Japanese public buy bootleg CD's from America, they try and offer the official product with more tracks.

Lol, just hearing people talking about the difficulty of singing this song live, reminds me of a funny moment from the Hartford 93 gig.

They're standing around thinking about what song to play next, when Duff starts playing the opening riff to Coma.

Axl: "Fuck you! Don't even think about it!"

Duff teases Axl by continuing the play the riff.

Axl: "We'll do it if you can sing it"

 :hihi:

They played Coma during the show in Greensboro, NC in the summer of 1991.  I was there.  It was great. 

Side note: They didn't go on stage that night until 10:00, but they played until 1:30.

e-mail me, I'll send you that

that really happend? Haha,hilarious  :rofl: :rofl:

I think that the Chicago 92 version is really good, actually. Much better than Richfield, and I actually prefer it to the album version - more energy. I haven't heard the Live era version.

Really?!
Cool You're a lucky one if you heard it

Interesting note - Coma may not have been played in Chicago if they could have played it in Oklahoma about a week earlier. Becuase at one point during that show Axl says "give me a heartbeat". Which i assume was the cue to start Coma, And nothing happened and Axl looked a bit pissed, i can't remember what he said at that point. But i beleive the next show was Chicago and they played it.

anybody who's heard it happen to have it as a mp3 they can send me??????????????????? ???

Amazing song
Amazing version

-Greg

same. id love to hear it live  8)

Hmm... November Rain? check, Estranged? check, Welcome To The Jungle? check, You Could Be Mine? check, Nightrain? check. Coma pales in comparison to all of the above.

Can someone PM me the live era version of coma please?? i cant find it on any p2p thing.

Be a good man and PM me this, please :D



Hilarious stuff :D :D

Why was this moved to this section? ah well....can someone PM that live era version?

Hey if you get this can you let me know? thanks : ok:

check your PMs, I will upload requested stuff for you. some will last longer, I have to find that hartford 93 moment :hihi:

a PM for Coma please?

if these lads are getting coma live era may i also have a pm for that, thanks! :o

I'll take one of those.? :)

Please.

It would be great if someone could PM it to me too :-*

id like everythign gnr related pmed to me please  ;D

i would also like the live era coma, if someone would be so kind.....

This was officially released so I doubt it will get posted her.

Coming right up but it's gonna be a long pm! :hihi:

jk

BTW, this version is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ok:

 :rofl: :beer:

that's true. it's not allowed to post it here. but let's discuss it here because people here are getting it in some very strange way 8)

It should be allowed to be posted because Axl gave the track to KNAC.com in 1999 for download for free.

I still think it qualifies as official material though which I believe is against the rules for posting.

But strange ways indeed have ways of getting these things around! :hihi:

\
Yeah, I know, but I don't see why, since Axl gave it to KNAC.com for the public to download...I've never understood the reasoning behind it.

Maybe he felt bad because we didn't get it on our CD version.....so instead of everyone scrambling to go buy it again he just put it out there.  I have to say next to the Chicago DVD version it is simply the best!  Many thanks to the special ways these things get around! :beer:

found that hartford moment yet? :beer:

this is Dead Horse from Hartford 93. check the end of the file after the song itself ends. http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=6113174F7A08A6F3

thanks! :D

Boy oh boy, hearing Come from Live Era should would make my day too.  : ok:

As would that Chicago soundboard, too actually.

Coma, the most underrated song. But it's no surprise they didn't play it very often, very hard song to play and sing.

Ive got the version from Live Era and the video version from Chicago in 1991

Chicago was 1992

I would love it if someone could mail me this version!I can't seem to find it anywhere :no:

I feel like being a santa claus :rofl:

I'm almost ashamed to ask, but here's another "me too" for the live era coma thingy...  :-[

Thanks : ok:

dunno how acurate this information is but hopefully it provides a little clue

If someone could email me that would be cool..

jerryfar@gmail.com

I've got the 92 version (DVD), but I'd love to hear this other one..

I just wanted to express a 'thank you' for those that responded.  It is greatly appreciated.  Now I can honestly say the version on Live Era (Japanese) is really good.. I will need to listen to both to decide which is better, but this one is pretty good, so it will probably be a tough decision.. :)

Thanks again to all!

-Dave

glad you like it : ok:

sorry man, tink i gave that to him, but we're all friends here so who da hell cares  :peace:

umm... he wrote "those that responded" correctly ;) but yeah who the hell cares :beer:

where can i hear coma from the live version album?

in your PM inbox :hihi:

hey since everyone is in the giving mood could someone hook me up too.  I got the chicago one but would love to hear the live era one.  This is such a masterpeice of  a song.

thanks in advance.

That was an awesome version.  I paid $22 for the US Vinyl release and bought 4 copies of it, 3 are still in the original shrinkwrap.  It's now worth over $120/ea.  I love how money grows with GNR.

boo hoo why does noone ever pm me live era coma  :love:

I'll PM it to ya, but A) I need to go home as I'm at work, B) I need to upload it and then give a link to get it as I don't steal others' links, and C) You'll probably have it before I can anyhow.. :D

c) is right :hihi:

You son of a bitch! :'( May i purchase a copy from you :love:

I'd like to hear it too, if possible ...

 :beer:

Thankx to whoever

so.. can someone upload a version instead of talking?  :hihi:

Agreed

Yup so true.

If somebody could pm me the live era version i'd really appreciate it. Thanks  :peace:

HI guys :) may i also ask for a PM with the version of coma !
please  :yes:

can someone PM me or upload Coma live to me..

that would be smashing thx

I would also be very greatful if someone pmed me a link

looks like I'm some kind of santa ::) :hihi:

Since I'm the webmaster at GnRinfo.tk, I decided to put "Coma" from the live album online so zombux (I think...) can get some relief! A link at the page should be working now (Megaupload unfortunately... that's for now). As someone specified, it was online at KNAC.com, so it shouldn't be wrong of me to add it there!

http://home.no.net/dalgnr/info/ (this link is better than www.GnRinfo.tk).

A few comments:
- I checked and saw I specify four dates it seems to have been played, but I just want to specify that "Coma" COULD be from April 10, 1993. The fact that we know it was played a 4th time, and that "Coma" is on the live album, doesn't necessarily mean it's from that date. So I don't want it communicated that way.
- I know Slash said they played it when they were in a bad mood. It kinda sucks they were not in a bad mood more often...
- Since it differs so much in quality from other known versions, it's not unlikely that something was fixed in the studio. 

thx for the song
