A European or South American show would be nice where the crowd actually look interested and move.

Awesome! Great start!

Brings back some memories of snowy Salt Lake City.

Audio is straight from the soundboard so you won’t hear any audience, but also the crowd at the front are a result of paid pit tickets so there’s no changing that.

Most pit tickets are paid....

This was from the arena leg of the tour. Smaller pits, less people in them.

A show in a stadium in Europe you would have thousands of fans in the GA/pit.... In North America you would have a pit and seats.

If people are foolish enough to pay 1k per ticket for pit tickets then I’m not going to judge Gnr for taking their money.

I was recently at foo fighters gig where all tickets were the same price but people who bought the tickets first were in section 1 and others in section 2. Helps a lot of the real fans get to the front rather than the ones with deeper pockets.

The band is primarily a money making machine these days so I’m not complaining, loads of bands do it but is definitely moving away from the the original meaning behind rock as a genre.
Lack of cd sales can also be blamed.

[jarmo]

Instead of having the pit in North America, they could have put seats there and sold those for more money.

So not everything is about making money or whatever you assume....

I don’t understand why they picked a 2019 show... best shows are from 2016-2017. In 2018-2019 axl struggles a lot and slash’s tone... meh... i’ve heard better from him and his guitar    better than nothing of course

Any idea if this is going to be a regularly scheduled release of a few songs at a time?

Maybe that was the easiest material to get. 2016 was years ago. First you need to find the material..... 2019 was more recent. So maybe it's easier to get.

Any idea if this is going to be a regularly scheduled release of a few songs at a time?

I sure hope so!

Great stuff. But why not the full show if they have it?

I will say it again also why don't they release the soundboard recordings of their shows like pearl jam,Metallica etc.

Maybe they just prefer to do it this way...Select tracks from different shows.

I will say it again also why don't they release the soundboard recordings of their shows like pearl jam,Metallica etc.

Both of those bands are not under contract to a record company.

Different bands. Different ideas....

Did not know that. I thought both were still under contract to a record company. Would a record company really stop them releasing audio recordings of concerts. The Chili Peppers they release recordings and they are under contract to warner. It can be done I guess.

[rizzo160]

I wonder when the next streaming will happen? Be cool if they do it once a week like Metallica.

[rebelhipi]

If we get a full set (like 2hours) out of these. Its a huge win.

I enjoyed these alot. brought memories from the shows ive seen from them

I think they might license their records to be distributed by someone else.

I know that when Pearl Jam originally released all those official bootlegs in 2000, they were signed to a record company. I'm sure if you do that, you need to re-negotiate the contract since there's probably a clause there about a live album or something...

that Chinese Democracy sounds badass. 

I know it's a question of personal preference and I have nothing
against the guy who seems nice but I still don't get the attract of
Frank Ferrer on drums in that band, it doesn't seems to fit with
the other fellows to my ears. maybe I'm the only one.

[rizzo160]

What songs would you guys like to hear next?  Illusion songs, apettite or Chinese songs?  Personally I like to hear more illusion songs Coma, Civil War, Yesterday's.  Something to look forward to

Am I really the only one who thinks it's shit?

Very poor editing.
And obviously Axl has some issue with using his image. That is okay if we are talking social media pictures (I don't give a shit) but if you are watching a live recording you just have to use the singer footage. It just doesn't make any sense to use so many times the wideangle stage shot and only very small glimpses of Axl. It's frustrating. You naturally are interested in the frontman.

I don't expect any professional release-ready recording but the quality of this video could much more improve if it was treated well in the edit.

Unless they pull from the April 1st, Dodger Stadium, or Super Bowl Weekend Show, you are just getting the soundboard feed mixed with the footage from the feed for the screens. I assume when they are using produced footage behind them (like for Jungle, Shadow, etc...) the cameras probably aren't following individuals up close and that's when we get the large panorama shots.

That's not the problem. As I said - I don't expect professional recording with shitloads of camera angles. What I do expect is that when you have this setup with only five cameras (wide-stage shot / left camera (mostly for Duff) / central camera (mostly for Axl) / right camera (mostly for Slash) / drums camera) that you use the singer's footage (which is naturally the one everyone is most interested in) more that two seconds each shot. It just doesn't make sense. All the other cameras are being used in the edit much more frequently (and for a longer time) than Axl's central camera. I really don't care seeing so many times the stage in wide angle. It kills the vibe.
