What's the best live performance we have of the band performing "Better"? Video and well as audio quality? I'm thinking Rock am Ring. Is there one better? I'm trying to put together a video presentation possibly for a communications class that I take at night. I'd like to get something that represents the band really well up there, good quality. I'm not playing any of the demos or leaks, just live stuff they've done. Any help would be appreciated.

Not RAR at all. It's just because it's proshot, but it's not their best performance..

I would say Download (if it wasn't by Tommy being hit by a pissbottle) and any of the three performances on Gibson Amphitheater in December.

There is one performance of Better that far surpasses all others in my eyes...December 19th.  The video quality may not be pro-shot, but god dammit, it's easily my favorite performance.  Axl fucking nails it and the band as a whole is very energetic.  The band just got better and better as the tour went on.

I love RARs quality, but it's a huge stage and Axl does a lot of running...vocals do suffer a bit with the long-ass runs. 

Better at Download is cool, but obviously Axl is totally fuckin pissed off.  The best part of that performance is Tommy's grabbing the mic at the end threatening to go home if shit kept getting thrown.  Also, to see Axl barely move throughout that song tells you he was sooo close from just getting the fuck out of there. 

  peace

It was a historic moment of rock n' roll.

the mood of the unruly Download crowd changed for the better after that.

Yeah the Dec 19th show sounded good to me, but as you said, wasn't pro shot. Rock am Ring looks technically great, but Axl's so active I always cringe at debuting the song to someone with that video, although I think it's a phenomenal video. Download I'll seriously think about. Thanks for all the help so far ok

the 18 clip the recording quality is? not very excellent but the performance is superb. Isn't Robin magnetic?

the 19 clip someone takes over "I never wanted you to be..." bit from axl. not that I blame him. I'd sing along even louder.
