I don't see the big whoop over a 30 year anniversary. Is that more important than a 20 or 25 year anniversary? Are they supposed to have some hoopla or a reissue every 5 years? Did they acknowledge the anniversary at 25 years?
Few reasons i guess:
30 is a big number
The band are in the middle of a tour
The tour fearures original members most thought would never play together again
The band made it a big deal by putting up posters etc.
None of the other annivesaries had all those factors. Of course it all amounted to fuck all anyway, so it doesn't matter in the slightest really!
You're still upset about the posters, eh?
I seriously wonder now what was their purpose..
Haha! I've been thinking about them a lot- they still totally baffle me!

They do baffle a lot. What was the point. Yes, sometimes you are drunk and don't think straight and make mistakes. But why did this happen

It is baffling. It can't be by coincidence that the Apollo show was booked on the eve of the 30th. The show wasn't just to launch the North American tour...otherwise why couldn't it be today, or last weekend? Clearly, it was meant to coincide with both the NITL tour and the AFD anniversary. It's strange that everything was set up to revolve around that date...and then not a peep. Whatever, I'm still going to see them in a couple weeks. Somehow, I'll manage to have a good time.

That's a good point actually- the show COULD have been any day. It seems more than a coincidence it was that day, and the posters were all put up. Perhaps something was cancelled last minute?

Some Sherlock could check what other events there were at the Apollo around the date. Theoretically, it could have been just this day it was possible but surely that was not the case. True, some win lottery as well but just too much of a coincidence.
But if it was something that got cancelled last minute, who screwed up with plan B or C or D.

My (uneducated) guess is that that there were plans to play Appetite in full that night, hence the posters, which were then decided against for one reason or another (probably along the lines of not having rehearsed the correct songs, and not wanting to sound sloppy on a broadcast).
We'll probably never know!

Take it one step further though. If they could choose ANY day, why not choose 7/21? Was the venue booked that night and not the 20th?

I often wonder with things like this who the hell has bought it that doesn't already own it! Mind you i'm not sure how many albums you have to sell to get to 84!
I own three copies of it. Ridiculous.

You probably have people who last owned it on cassette in the 80's that just never bought it again when they started updating to cd's or other digital formats. Then they heard them on Sirius (either the concert, or just the station in general) and ran out to buy it.
I have it on Cassette, CD (which was trashed in the late 90's/00's from being in my car cd organizer), 24k Gold "Remaster" CD, Vinyl, digital download, etc... I could decide to buy it again at any minute to replace my standard CD that got scratched to hell.

Was rather hoping that since the boys made nice again, we might get some remastered copies of the old albums. We could really use it.

I don't own any physical copy at the moment
I've been planning to buy a vinyl for decoration. There are various reasons and needs why you buy something all over again. My girlfriend's birthday is next month and our anniversary later this month. How about buying her one for each as she has never owned any or couldn't care less about the band.
Just believe me, things happen and people buy stuff whether they need it or not

Where you been? I was moaning myself purple about this a week or so ago! I'm a sucker for reissues mind- I buy absolutely any old tat if I like a band, let alone GNR.

Have a look around secondhand shops. Usually a vinyl copy floating about there. If you only want it for display too, it doesn't matter if it's worn out.

Only for display, I wouldn't even know how to use that machine what fits with it

My opinion? If this tour happened 10 or hell, 5 years ago we may very well have seen some re-issues. But now in the year of our Lord, 2017, maybe the number of copies they'd sell just doesn't make it worth their efforts...I kinda think that's why we haven't heard the followup to Chinese Democracy as well, but that's a whole other ball of hair.

They should just have the album on their website and charge for it.

They don't really have a very good website by any standards.
