[GNRreunioneventually]

no link to megaupload to avoid leaks; however to answer your question ;,rock in rio has always been my favorite; to a point where I bet the album version wont be as good for me. (cause I heard the leak and if it sounds anything like that demo, Ill cry).

Rio 2000/2001 

[GNR Narc]

Osaka 2002. You've got to go with something from 2002 because you still have Buckets guitar solo, and Axl's high pitched voice suits the song better.

vma 2002

Definitely. Wasn't the best overall GN'R performance, but the Axl vocals combined with Fortus' rhythm bit...absolutely immense. And the scream at the end into Paradise City...best one I've heard by a mile.

Boston 12/2/02 and 11/8/06. Axl was at his best at them shows.

manchester '06

Beautiful Bucket solo in the Leeds '02 performance.

are you kiddin? he blew out his voice in Boston

Instrumentally, the 2002 VMA'S. WITHOUT QUESTION!....Vocally, I like the WAY he sang the song at the 2002 VMA'S, but not really the sound of his vocals. I have a pretty good idea of how it will sound on the record. In between his 2002 and 2006 voice.

rio 01
cleveland 02
budapest 06

in that order

buckethead is missed

[HoldenCaulfield]

Rio '01 because of how emotional it was.
VMA's because of the roaring guitars and Axl's vocals.
Budapest because of the outro.

Other notables would be Leeds, Osaka, and Pukkelpop. As a matter of fact, they tore it up in every concert in all of those '02 shows pre-VMA's. I'm not really a fan of how the song sounded during the US '02 tour. The guitars were WAY to "clean" and shrill...

To the love you have shown us, Rio 2001!

Beta had brown hair, not that I care cause I don't. I was just making the observation.

 

[novrain91]

Rock in Rio 2001, although Axl should of kept his shirt buttoned. I wonder why he decided to change his hair from the way it was in this performance? I don't really care, just wondering.

Wooody, I respect your posts, but are you serious?  Boston's 12-02-02 Madagascar is almost flawless in my eyes.  It was a truly awesome live performance.  The Blues version from that show is also on my all-time favorite live performances list.  Are you sure you aren't thinking of another show?    

11/5/06 in Jersey I didn't get to hear Madagascar. 

[newgnr]

where can i hear the budapest version? youtube somewhere?

[newgnr]

nevermind, i found it ^^

[Rainfox]

To everyone who's PM'ed me regarding the Budapest version.

Sorry i haven't had time to answer, I'm pulling out our kitchen and knocked down the wall with my internet connection. So I'm on wireless from time to time only.

Anyway.. it's worth seeking out. In fact, the whole show.

The band went on at 23:31 as the place was about to implode and some had left. Boos all around. We were sitting down there getting scared actually.

The ointro started and got played three times! More boos.

Then...  Axl and the band went on (to thunderous applause) and put on a show for the ages.

I loved the intro for Rio III, But hated the performance. I'm still pissed that Rock AM wasn't broadcasted.

I absolutely love the VMA's.  I was with my friend who used to be a GNR fan and he said, if Chinese Democracy is anything like this, bring it on.

But He did call Fortus gay for his NU Metal Guitar Humping move, ha.
 
At first I hated rhasp on maddy, but its grown on me.  I love the high pitch back up vocals though.
