Live From The Jungle

[BurningHills]

I was listening to it via my iPod yesterday (ripped from the original CD) and have come to two conclusions:

"Move To The City" is the same version as from Live Like A Suicide/Lies
"Shadow Of Your Love" sounds like a LLAS outtake. (i.e. studio recording/crowd noise added - besides, it WAS recorded for LLAS.)

I say this because listen to Its So Easy/KOHD/Whole Lotta Rosie - Axl sounds different on those three songs than the others. He's raspy on the actual stuff, but crystal clear on the others. Anyone else notice this?

Yeah, I think It's So Easy, Knockin' On Heaven's Door and Whole Lotta Rosie are from Marquee and the rest isn't....

Isn't the LLAS crowd noise supposed to be from an AC/DC show? becuase the crowd chanting "ANGUS!" durring Rosie sounds t like a late 70's AC/DC show more than it does a Guns show.

Whole Lotta Rosie seems chopped up somewhat.

Listen to when Axl finishes talking "That's a whole lotta rosie to me.." the music kicks in VERY abruptly..not saying it didn't happen live that way, just that it seems edited together really oddly.

Yeah, that's totally correct, Burning Hills.

Some people think "Shadow Of Your Love" was recorded at The Marquee, London, England on 06-28-1987, but it is from the Live Like A Suicide sessions and was recorded the same way (in the studio with the audience noise later overdubbed). This is evident not only because it does not sound like it comes from the Marquee recording, as the other live recordings on Live From The Jungle do (spare "Move To The City" which is obviously from LLAS, and Sweet Child O' Mine, obviously from Appetite For Destruction), but also because "Shadow Of Your Love" and "Move To The City" from Live From The Jungle were produced by Guns N' Roses (think: Live Like A Suicide); the tracks from the Marquee recording on LFTJ were produced by Vic Maile. Hence the existence of the unreleased "Shadow Of Your Love" studio recording that sounds exactly like this "live version" but without the audience noise - just like the other LLAS studio recordings with no audience overdub that have turned up on bootlegs. Further, this very version of the song (with the audience noise) can be found on the first GNR single, "It's So Easy", released in June of 1987. If you're thinking "maybe the single was released on the 28th, 29th or 30th", well that was most likely NOT THE CASE (although the 29th WAS a Monday, which is tradionally the day that singles are released). That is not the case because there is no way there would have been time to mix it, press it to LPs, EPs, CDs and finally, dub cassettes, and then print cover art, package them, promote the release and also ship to vendors in such a short amount of time.

Yeah, I noticed that..I remember looking on gnrontour.com, and they have the posters from the Marquee mentioning to buy the its so easy single, and it mentions that its backed with shadow of your love if I remember correctly - so that's what set the wheels in motion: "There's no way they can play a show one day and have a single out the next day." Not in 1987 anyway.

Still, I found it interesting - I guess you learn somethin' new everyday!
