I always envision myself skydiving at a couple thousand feet as soon as the finally of that song hits. The possibilities they could have captured on video in relation to the song's multi-dimensional lyrics are endless.

mmm Locomotive, is great,  but Honestly I would use anything white, like snow.... I would use fire and something  blue like the UYI2

07.19.91 - Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA
07.30.91 - Great Western Forum, Inglewood, CA
08.03.91 - Great Western Forum, Inglewood, CA
12.13.91 - Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
02.20.92 - Toyko Dome, Tokyo, Japan (nope, it wasn't on the official DVDs...)

You can download the Madison Square Garden 91 show here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=40344&hit=1

You have to register there and search on Google or in their FAQ if you don't know about torrents.

They were going to play it at that PPV in 92 also with Jeff Beck but Jeffs tenisis (sp?) acted up and he couldnt play.
That would have been so killer with slash and jeff on lead and axl sounded great that show.

As for the Japan DVDs, i have the cd import and it was not on that either. Are you sure they played it on that nite.

Axl did say Locomotive was Slash's baby. Check out the L.A Forum 91 shows. I could post the bit where he says that but I don't really have time right now lol.

Concerning Paris, yeah they even rehearsed Locomotive with Jeff Beck (no vocals by Axl though) the day before the show. I posted the rehearsals DVD video on DIME for those interested, actually (http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=62995&hit=1 - hurry before there is no seed anymore, they rehearsed Train Kept A Rollin with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry as well and it's on the video).

And for the Japan DVDs, they did play Locomotive on the 20th. The even played Coma as an opener (!!!) on the 19th. What did Geffen (and/ or the band) choose to release?? The 22nd of course! With no freakin rare song played that night.

I could post all those live versions of Locomotive if people are interested. I could probably do one right now. Let me know.

Thanks for uploading that.

There you go, Locomotive live in Tokyo, 02.20.1992. Kickin ass and takin names.

http://rapidshare.de/files/6220980/GNR-1992.02.20-d1t04.flac.html (you have to choose Free and on the next page, then scroll down and wait 30 seconds - it's a pain but it's free! )

It's in FLAC (lossless) format. Download and install this plugin in Winamp if you don't already have it: click here. Why FLAC? Because it was how it was shared and I usually don't alter shared stuff, plus it's a lossless format which means you'll have great quality.

It's an audience recording, but it's still pretty good. Enjoy!

And you're welcome for the rehearsals DVD, Genesis.

[anythinggoes]

cool thanks

If you want more, let me know, the other live versions are bigger than 50MB though, so I may have to share them in MP3 (the size limit is 50MB).

I am not sure,  but my guess is it may not have been Geffen's choice but Axl's/bands.
They PRO taped every show since after the Appettite.
Actually,  primary choice for the LIVE release was St.  Louis,  but Axl tried hard not to finish the show and we all know what happend there, since they wanted a complete version of the concert,   the release obviously,  had to be fom another place.
Also,   as far as Locomotive is considered...
Locomotive (if I am not wrong),  is originally played on 3 guitars.
It could be played with 2 (like they did play the 5 times they did it),   but it could not be 'portrayed'  the right way.
Since they tried their best in Paris PPV show,   they probably decided to play it there with the 3 guitars otherwise,  I see no reason why Slash and Gilby wouldn't had done it if they really wanted to in Paris.

Ups.  I posted the comment inside the quote instead of after it.
Most of you will understand it,  though.

yeah put'em all here please, we the gnr fans wanna get'em all right now!

...n' for the Japan DVDs they did play it there even they also played ?Bad Apple? but i don't kow yet why the fuck does they Geffen hide those videos to date? Maybe did gnr play those songs so very wrong? That?s why really? You can check da?japan DVDs out to notice when GNR plays ?Bad Apple' ? Backstage, few minutes before that show!

[Skeletor]

Thanks Will! This is the best live version of Locomotive I've heard so far.
