I am wondering which audience tape the 2cd verion of 3rd day is? If it is the same one used to complete the Spirit of 88 release then it is worth tracking down! Thanks for the info Vince!

This is the complete audience recording, and most of the european / north american fans are not informed of that pressing. Most only know the european counterfeit by Papillon, which is missing "My Michelle", the introduction, and "Nightrain". The japanese 2CDs is a bit edited, or by the label (no name - but a well known one as the guys released a lot of great boots of various bands - they are using always the same "design" for the text), or by the taper to save tape. I'm pretty sure that the european CD is taken from the japanese 2CDs, but i will try to buy the CD to have the proof. You can still find from time to time the 2CDs in Japan. * Second, the "reworking" using the SDB and the audience recordings, and the video with it was done - if i'm right - by some GNR fans in the last years, and the result was seeded on various torrent website. This is for sure a direct copy of the torrents and the previous "release" on CDRs... See You Vince Hi,

It was also recorded close to the stage but just a little more distant and has more audience noise. I would rate it a VG + compared to the one used on "Spirit of 88" which is EX/EX+. Hopefully the complete "Spirit of 88" audience source will be released on silver disc someday.....

When these guys, mainly Axl, were on, they were untouchable at the time. This was before the time they went on stage whether Axl felt like or not. When I saw at the Forum in LA, they didn't go on till 1 AM. If you miss what rock and roll was all about, I highly recommend this. The early version of " Used To Love Her" is excellent. The dvd is kind of hard to watch, but the syncing of the music, and having the whole concert on disc is a great benefit. Have this and I agree with the review.
