What's wrong with "Live era"?

[pilferk]

And PAradise City: "Las Ve, Las Ve, LAs Ve, Las Ve, Las Vegas"? IS that a skip or what?

It's Axl trying to be funny....(in case you weren't being sarcastic).  It's supposed to be:

Las V, Las Ve, Las Veg, Las Vega, LAS VEGAS

[Eazy E]

Axl's voice on nightrain and on the end of rocket queen is very impressive. I love it.

Once again, the vocals on Rocket Queen were re-recorded (I'm not sure about Nightrain)... so obviously Axl's voice is impressive.

Is it just me or does it sound like Finck doing backin vocals on Brownstone?? It really dosent sound like anyone from the old line-up...I guess it could be Gilby tho....

I think it's Izzy.

Isn't that Las Vegas thing a mistake or something?  I think Slash mentioned that was one of the errors on the CD.  BTW, mine does not have Axl saying "Las Ve, ..", he just says "Las Vegas." 

[Dr. Blutarsky]

From hearing a few songs off it and all the not so positive reviews, I skipped out on actually getting Live Era. The fact Axl and Slash traded tapes via an intermediary and  never directly talked about what should or should not go on it, how to go about it and the bitter feelings between the two I`m sure affected the quality.

ive always herd bad things about live era. the funny thing is that this was the CD that made me want to but appetite and then UYI, and therefore learn guitar. im not saying this is a great CD or anything, but i do owe my GNR "fandom" to it

[Gunner80]

To much studio polish for my  taste.

The only thing I see wrong is the Japanese getting a better version then we did. ?I've got the promo poster for Live Era, wonder if it's worth anything? ?Anyway, it should have had a "new" bonus track. ?Would have sold MANY more copies.

well, ya just cant please everyone, i dig it!!
i dont think the audience is added in, between some songs you can hear from the last songs audience die down then the next song creeps in, it's done pretty well i think, if you want a full concert by itself, get the vids, at least we've got an option to choose from.

I have mixed views on LIVE ERA '87-'93


DISC 1
Nightrain - Sounds really good?
Mr. Brownstone - Sounds ok
It's So Easy - Sounds a bit flat (there's much better live versions out there)
Welcome to the Jungle - Sounds ok, if poorly recorded
Dust N'Bones - Sounds ok
My Michelle - Sounds pretty good
You're Crazy - Sounds really good?
Used to Love Her - Sounds different (not a fav GN'R of mine)
Patience - Good recording (not a fav GN'R of mine)
It's Alright - Sounds really good this is the first time i have heard this song
November Rain - Sounds really good?


DISC 2
Out Ta Get Me - Sounds really good?
Pretty Tied Up - Sounds ok, if poorly recorded
Yesterdays - Sounds ok
Move to the City - Sounds ok
You Could be Mine - Sounds good
Rocket Queen - Sounds really good?
Sweet Child O' Mine - Sounds good
Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Sounds good (not a fav GN'R of mine)
Don't Cry - Sounds ok (this song never sounds good live)
Estranged - Sounds different - i don't like this version
Paradise City - Sounds good




Tracks that i would have liked to have seen on Live Era include:

Double Talkin Jive (from the Paris/France show)
Think About You? (from - )
Slash guitar solo - Theme from the Godfather (from Milton Keynes/UK show)

I don't recal hearing anything like that on the whole cd. What song and what part is this on?
