I'm slowly trying to put together a decent collection of live Guns stuff, and everyone on the board has been totally helpful, so I thought I'd throw this line out there to see what I could catch.

Rocket Queen is probably my all-time favorite Guns song, and it dawned on me today that I don't have a good live version of it, besides the one on Live Era (which I love) and I was just wondering if there were song paticular performaces of the song that rang out to people as being Really, Really, Great.

Thanks.

The Vocals from Live Era aren't live, but re-recorded in the studio... but it's the best version ever... Axl sounds perfect on it...

So it's true that some or all of the vocals on Live Era are re-recorded? The most that I ever heard was that it was a rumor. Huh. They are great on that song though aren't they. Are all the tracks re-records?

I think that Rock In Rio-Lisbon was one of the weakest shows from 2006, but the Rocket Queen version at that show was fantastic, incredible

Tokyo '92 with ''It Tastes Good, Dont It?'' is also killer.

Tokyo '92, is that the show off the UYI DVD? or is that a different Tokyo show altogether?

I'm a huge fan of the Tokyo version as well...the little groove in the middle before "It Tastes Good" is cool and right after "it Tastes Good" the band kicks it back into the song and Axl starts rockin' with the mic and stand...very fuckin cool!!!

Its too bad there isn't a recording from the first Las Vegas show from last september.  Tommy requested to Axl that the band play Rocket Queen and they proceeded to rip into the best version I've ever heard.  peace

I agree with Esteban on the Rio version.   I also listen to the Nampa, Idaho 2002 version a good bit.

The Marquee 87 (or 88?) version is the best one. At least you can hear the amazing rhythm guitar by Izzy.

Wasn't it during Rocket Queen at the Ritz that Axl hurled his mic at the sound guy but missed him and hit Guns manager...  hihi  because, as Axl put it, it sounded like spaceships landing on stage.
