A few days ago i bought the 2 CD album Live Era '87-93' because it was the only G N R CD i did not have. I really love this album and am so glad i bought it. What does everyone else think of it as a live album.

I think it's good for a live album, but usually I'm not a real fan of live cds, though I enjoy dvds.

The live version of Estranged is awesome!

Quality & song selection are fantastic. Feels like your at the show. Much better than Greatest Hits.

Im not sure but have heard that some of the songs on it have re-recorded vocals and parts ect.
also i heard alot of the songs are from the one concert in 1992 which if true kinda sucks because it should have had like there first gigs as they were going through the LA club scene and stuff.
But i have no complaints about this album i think it fucking rocks

Live albums are shit but it's not a bad compillation Prefer the studio albums I don't like "Knocking On Heaven's Door" Glad they don't do that number anymore.Ozzy number "Its alright" is a nice intro to November Rain.

I'm not a biggie for live albums, but Live Era ain't half bad.

shadowsoul · « **Reply #9 on:** December 26, 2008, 07:35:27 PM »

i think that its just as good or maybe even more enjoyable than the actual albums. it was only rated 2 stars, but the music critic that rated it is a fucking asshole idiot.

Tomshooter101 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 26, 2008, 07:39:07 PM »

I am listening to it now. It's just as good as any other Guns N Roses album, the recording etc is really good.

I think some of the songs were from Donnigton in 1988 where those 2 young lads died. Axl kept saying ''move back'', ''move back'' to the crowd, and 2 people died as a result of everyone pushing to the front and crushing people at the front.

It sounds like the whole CD is the Donnington concert actually. Slash was quoted as saying ''imagine going from an all time high after doing a gig like this, then being told that 2 people died, and you then hit an all time low. It was at that point Guns were named 'the most dangerous band in the world'

That's also partly why Axl started to hate the press.

................for some reason, this sheds alot of light for me...............

Tomshooter101 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 26, 2008, 07:50:58 PM »

My best song on the album is 'move to the city' where they have the piano's, keyboards and Brass sections playing, thats really cool. They all do their own little solo's as the song plays.

slash2208 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 26, 2008, 07:54:13 PM »

The album is good, but i miss one of my favorite songs: Civil War. Other misses: Live and let die & Double Talkin' Jive with the solos.

Tomshooter101 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 26, 2008, 08:03:34 PM »

Does anyone have on DVD or CD etc the live in Paris concert? That was another awesome Guns N Roses gig. I had it on Video because I recorded off the TV in about 1993, I think it might have been a part of the illusions tours. That concert was absolutely excellent, Axl walked out on stage with a spliff in his hand too lol.

Lenny Kravitz played as a guest appearance at that one too I think, excellent!

Tomshooter101 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 26, 2008, 08:43:40 PM »

I have Spaghetti incident on now.

I got this CD for Christmas in 1992, I got this and Def Leppard's Hysteria. I got them with the new CD player my parents bought for me, I was like 13. It was the first time I had a CD player, it was great.

Nice memorys.

It's a good album even though there's a lot of re dubbing on it.

chainsmoker · « **Reply #24 on:** February 07, 2009, 01:22:21 PM »

I love Estranged live, Im not so keen on Rocket Queen with the keyboard effect on
the second part of the song, totally wrecks it for me.

I loved coma on it.

AxlIsGod · « **Reply #26 on:** October 27, 2009, 11:05:52 PM »

Its Good But Most of the songs are from the illusions era as you can tell by axls voice, would like to have seen some more 87-88 Concert tracks.

Shacklers Revenge · « **Reply #27 on:** October 27, 2009, 11:22:30 PM »

It could have been great if better performances were picked and if Axl didn't rerecord his vocals. It's average at best.

Dr. Jack Daniels · « **Reply #28 on:** November 08, 2009, 05:03:19 AM »

You Could Be Mine was the best off that album

mowat · « **Reply #29 on:** November 08, 2009, 05:59:43 AM »

When I met Gilby, I talked about how much I love Move to the City on Live Era (especially the jam at the end). He told me that he played on all the tracks but two of them (and was only credited as an 'additional musician') so that kind of puts into perspective that Live Era '87-'93 is really heavy on the post-Izzy years.

Its Ok at best. i prefer my imported "Rocket Queen" CD of the ritz 88 performance, unedited and much better. On The Live era CD, axls voice is edited too much, not raw enough, should have just compiled the live versions, and more 87/88 Tracks.

seely · « **Reply #36 on:** November 23, 2009, 01:01:11 PM »

i like the rocket queen at the ritz, just a shame axl leaves the stage twice

(Though the guitat parts at the end, the ast verse when axl has walked off, actually sound really cool, never noticed how good they were until hearing it then)

Yeh, i use the parts when he walks off as a nice sing along

his voice is incredible at the ritz
