Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle (San Diego, 88)

It's not every day you see a recording like this surface. From what I've gathered there was no known source to this show in the trading circles. I searched the internet high & low and nothing pertaining to this show turned up.So... here it is !
Guns & Roses in their prime, the boys are playing a pretty tight set and Axl's voice is strong, singing on all cylinders hitting the highs & the lows this night. At the time this show was recorded, Guns & Roses were showcasing new songs from their "G'nR Lies" album. The master cassette used for the transfer was starting to suffer from "tape oxidation" at the very beginning and at the end of the show-you'll probably not notice that too much as very best efforts had been made in the digital restoration part of doing this production. You are really going to like this show! There is feed back coming from the speakers every now and then and no noise or hiss reduction was used in this production. Some bass eq to balance was added to this recording, and the reason for that is the taper doesn't recall where he was standing when he recorded this show, he recalls he was extremely stoned on marijuana and mentioned that it was loud as hell in that Montezuma Hall at SDSU. This is evident in the recording itself, the band is almost overpowering the taper's recording
equipment.

Thanks for putting this up. I got kicked out of the show toward the end of this song after getting thrown on stage. It was like a punk show, standing room only.

@Axl1962feb Ahhh..my memory is fading in my old age. I do remember them making us wait like over a hour before they came out.

@cheeverdog no, their concert at SDSA was in 1992.
