Guns N’ Roses Guns N’ Roses/CA,USA 10.22.1989 Complete Mike Millard Master Tapes

Following on from “LOS ANGELES COLISEUM 1989 1ST NIGHT” and “LOS ANGELES COLISEUM 1989 2ND NIGHT”, a super masterpiece by an absolute master is born! This is the last opening stage release in history! This work is engraved with “Los Angeles performance on October 22, 1989”. It is a super-class audience recording left by legendary master Mike Millard. Speaking of “Millard’s GUNS”, “LOS ANGELES COLISEUM 1989 1ST NIGHT” and “LOS ANGELES COLISEUM 1989 2ND NIGHT”, which were unearthed last year, are still fresh in our memory, but this work is the third sequel. However, this work is not just part 3, and its historical significance is heavier than ever before. In order to explain its meaning, let’s first approach the position of the show on the schedule at that time. 1989, January 30: Appearance at AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS, October 11: Performance at Cat House, October 13: Performance at Park Plaza Hotel, October 18-22: LA (4 performances) ←★Here★ 1990 {January 13: Production of “USE YOUR ILLUSION” begins}, April 7: Appearance at FARM AID {Steven Adler leaves} This is GUNS N’ ROSES in 1989/1990. The “APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION Tour” itself ended in 1988, and during this period, they only performed a few one-off event stages during their long off-season. Among those, the biggest activity was the 4 performances in Los Angeles, which were also the opening for THE ROLLING STONES, and Millard recorded them as a set with the Stones. Here, let’s focus on the dates further and check the positional relationship of the triptych. Details of “LA 4 performances” * October 18th “LA COLISEUM 1989 1ST NIGHT” * October 19th “LA COLISEUM 1989 2ND NIGHT” ・ October 21st: Los Angeles performance (3rd day) * October 22nd: Los Angeles performance ← ★ This work ★ … and so on. This work is the last day of the 4 days in Los Angeles, but after that, Steven Adler left the band after performing only two songs in “FARM AID”. In other words, this show was the last regular stage of the original lineup, and at the same time, it was the final performance as “Opening Act GUNS N’ ROSES”. This work, which vacuum-packed such a scene, is a truly superb recording. If you have experienced the previous two works, you will have realized the ultra-high sound quality of the best masterpiece class even in the “APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION” era, but this work is also at the same level. The audience definitely has a hot sense of realism, but the strength of the on-core, the fine details, the wonderful sense of separation… each element is not inferior to FM broadcasting. In particular, the direct feeling of the vocals surpasses the previous two works, and it can be said that this is the best of Millard’s three consecutive GUNS works. The most important stage in history is depicted with such a transcendent sound. In terms of the set, there is no big difference except for the omission of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” (on the other hand, “My Michelle”, which was not played on the second day, is played), but the goodness of the final day (not worrying about tomorrow) is exceptional. Furthermore, the MC has a sense of the final day. He does not vent his anger like in “1ST NIGHT” or apologize like in “2ND NIGHT”, but in the break of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”, Axel mutters words that seem to savor the feelings of the final day. Let me write it out in my translation. “One more, one more…, Alright! It’s the Last One, The Last Night… We gotta get you warmed up for the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band the Rolling Stones. In a few minutes you’re gonna be hearing all your favorite songs so let’s make this son of a bitch loud GUNS N’ ROSES will no longer be opening for anyone after this day. Moreover, this is a historic live album where you can experience the last regular stage with “those five people” who shook the whole world with “APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION”. An absolute one that combines the transcendent sound of absolute master Millard and historical weight. “Transcendent audience recording of the Los Angeles performance (last day) on October 22, 1989”. The original master left by legendary master Mike Millard, the sound is one of the best in the “APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION” era. This is the birth of the most important album that permanently preserves the historic show that was the last regular stage of the original GUNS and the last opening act.
