This reminds me of that one radio edit that ended right before the outro starts.
You saying that reminds me of this definitive performance of “Rhiannon.” Where the album version ends, this one actually leaves the earth and becomes supernatural. Stevie really is channeling something and the rest of the band is doing all it can to keep up. Look at Mick’s face near the end. Incredible.

Any suggestions that these include content after 1992?

It would be interesting to hear the songs without any tampering or updating, to understand what Axl was responding to.

Axl understands the power of contracts and lawsuits. They have been used against him just as he has weaponized them against Steven Adler, musicians/employees (in the form of non-disclosure agreements), etc.
GNR is pretty much a dictatorship. Everything hinges on his decisions.
Slash knows this and has pretty clearly reached a point in his life where he is willing to play the game for the paycheck and on-stage acclaim. Is he as satisfied as he could be with GNR? Probably not. But some relationships are rewarding enough to endure even if they are not fulfilling.
I think GNR as a band and Axl as an artist would benefit from a meeting of the minds with Axl, Duff, and Slash functioning more as equals. But he is set in his ways.
For this, we all lose.

Kazakhstan is collapsing. Some people speculate that if prices of fuel and food continue to go up it could trigger another Arab Spring phenomenon with multiple countries slipping into chaos.
Any Eastern Europeans on this site who can share what they are seeing?

What a disappointment. I found this:

For completeness I hope they will include remasters of the non-album tracks like the “Estranged”’promo edits, b-sides like live cuts and the Slash interview, etc.
There were some “November Rain” edits but to my understanding they were made by individual DJs and not approved by the band.

Has anyone heard of them reaching out to collectors for memorabilia to photograph? That might give us hints of the time period they are looking to cover.

Having trinkets makes it more difficult for counterfeiters to duplicate a box set. Consider what happened with the Pink Floyd “Discovery” and Beatles mono box sets.
I enjoy the memorabilia but am hungry for music. Give us everything from the studio plus a few gigs on DVD or BluRay, but not Tokyo as that is already available.

I want everything with Adler. It was the end of an era and to properly release those tracks would give him respect as well as acknowledgment - which he deserves, and emotionally seems to need.
Wildcard desire: That we get some post-UYI material that shows where they were headed before the split.
