Guns N' Roses Guns N' Roses/NY,USA 10.23.1987 Jewel Version

A pro shot that was unearthed in 2017 and shocked enthusiasts around the world has been decided to be released. The shocking footage is "The Ritz performance on October 23, 1987". Speaking of "Ritz pro shots", there is also a familiar classic video from "RITZ 1988 DEFINITIVE EDITION", but that was in 1988. This work is a completely different live performance. In order to organize that relationship, let's look back at the schedule at that time and check the position of the show. 1987 June 19-28: UK (3 shows) {July 21st "APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION" released} August 1st-September 17th: North America #1 (24 shows) September 29th-October 8th: Europe (8 shows) October 16th-December 31st: North America #2a (49 shows) ←★Here★ 1988 January 5th-February 12th: North America #2b (13 shows) ←※ "RITZ 1988" March 31st-June 8th: North America #3 (30 shows) July 9th-September 17th: North America #4 + Donington (40 shows) {November 29th "GN'R LIES" released} December 4th-19th: Japan/Oceania (9 shows) This is GUNS in 1987/1988 when they shook the whole world N' ROSES. The "North America #2" leg was held over the New Year holidays, but "RITZ 1988 DEFINITIVE EDITION" is the new year's "North America #2b". In contrast, this work is the sixth performance of "North America #2a", and it was only three months after the release of the revolutionary "APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION". Speaking of 1987 footage, the unplugged "CBGB'S 1987" is also famous, but this work was a concert one week before that. This work recorded at such a show is a shocking pro shot. The existence itself is miraculous, but the quality is also special. The master said to have leaked from GEFFEN is strangely beautiful. Of course, it is not an official quality like "RITZ 1988 DEFINITIVE EDITION", but the freshness is guaranteed and there is no dubbing deterioration or aging deterioration. It is a beautiful high quality even when viewed with the eyes of today's digital heyday. However, it is different from the pro shots like the official works. The angle is captured from one direction (probably two cameras?) from the back of the audience, and there are home video-like image effects such as screen splitting, wipes, stop motion, and overlapping distant views and zooms. It seems that the shooting and editing were done by GEFFEN, but what on earth was it made for? Although there is such a handmade feeling, this work is definitely professional. This is proven by the super beautiful close-up. If you move closer to the accelerator, you can see every single hair beautifully, and if you move to Slash's hand, you can see the wrinkles of the nails and the first joint. Of course, the view is not blocked by the shadow of the audience, and it is a sense of stability that can only be a professional shot. It is drawn with smooth and dynamic camera work while remaining crisp. More than such visual beauty, it is the sound that is more professional. The sound board sound is perfectly mixed, not only in the ears but also in the brain directly. The cheers are far away, and the fierce rock is screwed in with a direct line recording. Unfortunately, the first four songs are not included and the album starts halfway through "Welcome To The Jungle", but still, the young GUNS N' ROSES are in full swing for about an hour and 11 songs non-stop (there was a 27-second gap in the member introduction and a 15-second gap at the beginning of "Mama Kin", which was supplemented with audience recordings and still images). Among them, the most surprising is "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". As Axel is singing the chorus in a moody way, Dave Mustaine from MEGADETH comes along. He approaches him to sing along, but his roadie immediately comes and picks him up. It's a one-second event, and you wonder if he's really Mustaine himself, or just a fan who looks like him... but Axel isn't particularly surprised, and when the roadie warns him, he calmly follows along, saying, "Oh, really? It's fine," which makes him seem like a fellow musician. It must be him. Everything is full of the scent of "1987". It's an amazing, amazing pro shot. "GUNS N' ROSES in 1987" drawn with such quality... This is already indescribable. The set is different from "RITZ 1988 DEFINITIVE EDITION", so let's organize it while comparing it here APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION (7 songs) ・ Welcome To The Jungle / My Michelle / Rocket Queen / Nightrain / Sweet Child O' Mine / You're Crazy (★) / Paradise City Others (4 songs) ・ GN'R LIES: Reckless Life (★) / Mama Kin ・ USE YOUR ILLUSION: Don't Cry (★) / Knockin' On Heaven's Door * Note: The "★" mark is a song that cannot be seen in the super-standard "RITZ 1988". ... and it looks like this. It is valuable to see the precious early "Don't Cry", "You're Crazy" and "Reckless Life" in a pro shot, but it is more than that, the performance itself. After all, it's the monster rock of "Original GUNS" that turned the whole world upside down. All the songs are intense, and they are hit with "pro shots in front of you" and "direct hit sound boards". A few years have passed since the amazing new excavation, and the impact is still not faded. Live at the Ritz, New York City, New York, USA 23rd October 1987 PRO-SHOT DVD (60:09) 1.
