Notes:
- Pro: no mods, no commercial, video/audio outmaxed, nicer colors and most less ghosting than on any other versions
- Cons: recorded in LP mode, looks a little washed. but it also took more than 20 years to find, get and transfer an actual vhs master properly.

Do you know where you are?
You're in the jungle, the Rio De Janiero jungle, baby!
Guns N' Roses jump started the Use Your Illusion Era in grand fashion
at the massive Rock In Rio Festival in January of 1991.
These two concerts occurred nearly EIGHT months before the epic
Illusion twins hit the street!
Despite the fact that Guns would be performing in front of 170,000
fans over two nights, with two NEW band members in tow,
the eccentric W. Axl Rose decided that his presence was not needed
during gig rehearsals.
In Axl's mind, the Rock In Rio performances were warm up gigs for the
mammoth two year world tour which would commence in May.
Dizzy Reed (keyboards) commented a few months later that his Rock In
Rio experience was "like a blur".
Matt Sorum (drums) also stated that these performances were his first
time drumming for Guns N' Roses with Axl on lead vocals.
Only a complete maniac would break in two new band members via a
globally televised "trial by fire" festival performance!
These two historic Rock In Rio concerts featured the worldwide debut
of soon to be GN'R classics such as Pretty Tied Up, Double Talkin'
Jive, Dead Horse, You Could Be Mine, Estranged, and the rarely
performed, Bad Apples.
While many considered the Rock In Rio '91 live sets to be sub par Guns
N' Roses performances, they have been wildly popular on the bootleg
circuit for over two decades!
In spite of the flaws of these early Illusion era concerts, this pro
shot video highlights a band which had briefly conquered the rock
world.
This same gig also showcases a group that was on the verge of self
destruction...
Within one year's time, rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin would jump ship.
By the winter of 1991, Guns would be weighed down by a traveling
circus of back up singers, and three piece horn section.
Axl's antics coupled with the ridiculously over the top Illusion Era
music videos would keep Guns N' Roses in the press for years!!
As they say, all good things must come to an end, so enjoy this
torrent of Guns N' Roses second performance at Rock In Rio.
You will likely never see this band live again...
