The Ritz Indiana Chicago House Of Blues Boston Rock Am Ring Title: Re: Survey: What was each lineup's best performance? Post by: DunkinDave on December 28, 2006, 08:46:36 PM Just to clarify, when I have Audio Bootleg and Video Bootleg listed, I'm asking what shows in your opinion have the best audio and video bootlegs.
They can be different from the show you list as "Best Performance". Like from the 2006 lineup with Brain, I think Rock AM Ring has the best audio and video bootleg, but it isn't necessarily the best performance.

They can be different from the show you list as "Best Performance". The ones I've listed are the best for audio. Except HOB they're all soundboards. I'm not so crazy about video, but most of them have good video too, with the exception of HOB. Title: Re: Survey: What was each lineup's best performance?

I'm going with the same as polluxlm, but I can't decide between MSG or Boston 2002 Title: Re: Survey: What was each lineup's best performance? Post by: thesloth on December 28, 2006, 10:28:58 PM I would say the Winnipeg show.
Dec 4th 2006 Special Guest: Bubbles: First show where all the preformers were very well received. THe crowd was their to party and have a good time. The crowd never got into booing any of the bands and was absolutly amazing for GnR. That and the addition of Bubbles made it one of the "special shows" Also Axl talked a lot durning this show. Talking about how the drug dogs at customs went crazy around the band manager because he was standing beside Bach. Getting the crowd to sing really load so Helmut's bassist could hear us back in Newyork, Then the rendition with Bubbles (from trailer park boys) was fantastic. He made Bubbles go up to the "Ego ramp" Also made Bubbles stay on for the next song "Used to love her" as well. Also one of the few shows where Fink crowd surfed.
