Title: More than 1 version of any of the songs on CD
Post by: codenameninja on July 06, 2006, 02:24:58 PM
Anyone know which performances had the best versions of IRS and Better, can you please tell me? (A link would be nice too :P)

I have yet to hear a good live recording of either IRS or Better  :no: so far none of this years recordings have matched the recordings from Rio2002 and Boston 2002. There's still many shows to go, so here's hoping  :beer:

I have no idea what GnR were thinking when slowing down The Blues. The Blues played during Rio2002 was faster and clearer. The Blues played now in 2006 sounds like a recorded being played at the wrong speed. I guess the really important issue is, what will the album version sound like? will there be more than 1 version of any of the songs on CD? maybe so  :beer:

I strongly disagree...

I hope for the slower version (2002 or 2006), but really no one knows but Axl... I'm still hoping for a box set with a bunch of different versions of all the songs... Oh well, I can dream, can't I?

I guess the only time we'll see a box set is when Axl kicks the bucket and the recorded company cashes in and releases year in and year out newly discovered GnR material from the deep dark vaults  :hihi:  they'll have a field day with the 1000's of versions of CD  :hihi:

I personally liked the 02 version more so over the 06 version

Pittsburgh 2002 The Blues are the best.  I can't believe Axl took out the introductory guitar......lame sauce.

I like the piano intro, IMO it gives the song a more classic sound

boston was better
axl had more rasp
and the solo was cleaner
i agree tho i miss the guitars that were taken out of the blues

I love the new version of Blues: makes the song alot sadder and heartfelt.

I've got to give Boston a second chance...because I've only seen it on YouTube, I'm guessing the video doesn't do the soundboard any justice.

I'd like to add that Tommy's bass is incredible in this song.
