They also played it at their longest show ever, August 3, 1991 in Inglewood.

[Fuckin' Gunner]

Jeff Beck was going to play Locomotive with the band in that famous Paris show in 1992, but the had a health problem one day before the show (something like that).

I don?t know if they played without him.

[Is he struggling?]

I had an MP3 of 'Locomotive' somewhere once, but I didn't like it. IT was palyed at a slower tempo - the beat sounded almost hip-hoppy

[Izzy]

They also played it at the 02.20.92 show in Tokyo, Japan

Just found it on some site

[AdZ]

gnrontour.com should have everywhere that it was played if you're desperate to find out, you'll just have to have a lot of patience going through every show from every year from '91 to '93

No, they did not play it at the June 6, 1992 Paris show.

No, they didn't play it. Axl announced they had planned to perform a song with special guest Jeff Beck but he  couldn't make it because he had fallen ill the night before. " We wish him all the best and maybe we'll do it agan next time...in the mean time, how about a little bit of Arnold...You could be mine!!!!!" I think I've watched that show at least 100 times...


A little bit of topic but, I never really liked that song. I never really got into it. In one of the "making of" didn't Axl mention something about adding Locomotive and then Coma to the video trilogy?

I have the Paris reharsal with GNR and Beck playing Locomotive - without Axl. You can ask me in the hub for this one. I have the Tokyo, NY and Inglewood mp3 too.

I don?t know about the trilogy, never geard it. IMO, Locomotive, along with Breakdown, Don?t Damm Me and some of Illusions songs, is the kind of song song that grow slowly in you...

When I bought the Illusoins, I hated this songs, and others like Perfect Crime, and now I just love them.

Back into the topic, it?s interesting that they played some songs (that I think it?s so great)  very few times, like this ones I mentioned, expect Perfect Crime.
