30 years ago today, enjoy this just released footage! This is before the famous 1988 Live at the Ritz show. Some really cheesy video editing, but my God, what a badass band.

Thanks for posting. I remember about a year ago (maybe more), there was a guy who posted about 10 minutes of this and everyone was begging him to release the whole thing. Guess he finally got what he wanted in the trading game, or maybe he gave up and decided to share with everyone. Either way I'm glad it's out there for everyone to watch the full thing.

This is the best GNR stuff to come out in years. This show, 1988 Tokyo, The 1987 or 88 Marquee Show, Paris 1992 all epic shows.

Appetite for Destruction [Geffen, 1987]
It's a mug's game to deny the technical facility claimed by one-upping crits and young victims of testosterone poisoning--not only does Axl cruise where other "hard rock" singers strive, but he has a knack for believability, which in this genre is the most technical matter of all. When he melds scream and croon on the big-beat ballad, you understand why some confused young thing in an uplift bra is sure it's love sweet love. But Axl is a sucker for dark romantic abstractions--he doesn't love Night Train, he loves alcoholism. And once that sweet child o' his proves her devotion by sucking his cock for the portacam, the evil slut is ready for "See me hit you you fall down." B-

oh.
