Suggestion: Live album, DVD from reunion

[Sillything]

Live album, DVD from the "new" lineup we need? Yes?!

[D-GenerationX]

Yeah, I'd be all about it, in principle.

Just release it warts and all.  Don't make it so obvious you dicked with the tracks.

If anything, the last DVD gives me hope on that front.  There is no way some of those vocals were touched up.  They may be dodgy, but they are at least real.

A PPV with broadcast-level production sometime during the tour would be very welcome.

A DVD/BD would guarantee a more perfect audio mix and video editing, and the PPV footage could be used as a basis for that.

Agreed.

I would just take a soundboard of such a show and call it a day.

Soundboard audio releases during the tour would be heaven.

Who Recorded & Filter Soundboard 2002 ?

To make the most out of the reunion,any release is obvious.
I prefer a bluray and of course a vinyl 4-LP box-set with everything included.(toothpicks and whatever imaginable).

[Sillything]

Probably Ritz-88 never can be outdone! But I want something in that style. No touching up what so ever. Just good recording conditions and good production. The O2 from London was a good one. Appetite for Democracy and Live Era, not so much!

[Spirit]

I always though Appetite for Democracy had an awesome sound mix.

The band sounds great.  Axl sounds like death on some of the tracks though. 

But that's not a mixing thing, the vocals just aren't there.

Yeah, not talking about the performance. Listening strictly to the mix, I think it's just about perfect.

I believe those were stolen. Not sure how, people said back then that it was at the Philly riot.

Opinions vary- I was at some of those shows and they were very good.

Yeah, that was always the story.  Never sure how real it was, or just urban legend.

That Boston show sure sounded great.  Listened to that one often during the dark time (2003-2005).

[Thorned Rose]

I always heard the MSG show in 2002 was incredible.

I would love a high quality of that show, with a DVD with behind the scenes stuff from the Vegas 2001 show. That would be cool.

Live Era 87-93 is a good live album, but like 8 of the tracks were taken from the Tokyo 92 show. Lame.

For my money that was the best show during that brief tour... we got a few soundboards, and I always thought performance wise Boston was the 'loosest'  they seemed.

However to Emily's point about being at shows and vocals sounding great... I have to be honest Axl sounded better live in the Fleet Center to me than he did on the Boston 2002 soundboard. I think the combination of the mix, the crowd, and the building acoustics 'helps' things... Also in the moment you are much more excited for what you are watching live in person than when you are in front of a computer or on your couch... I think your adrenaline almost covers up some warts...

Exactly right.

I was at the MSG show in 02 he was definitely on that night just remember that was 13 years ago and this is not a knock on axl but for most people to carry the same voice for 13 years later not that easy especially if you are singing on a consistent basis

Not even sure that's a bad thing.

I thought he sounded better in both 2006-07 and 2009-10 than he did in 2001-02.

Well he has had plenty of down time now so he should be good to go now lol and as big as this tour is going to be however long its going to be will be amazing and i have no doubt a live dvd will come along down the line at some point
