Notes:
So. Been doing this now for 26 years almost exactly. You would think I know my shit by now and that I donÕt do any rookie-mistakes? WRONG! Ok. This started out great, I was able to get VIP- tickets for the show, making sure I could stand as close to the speakers as possible by buying tickets through the fanclub in advance. Great! I wouldnÕt miss this for the world! Saw GNR with Izzy in Stockholm, Sweden in 1991 and this will be as close as one can come to that. Nothing will top 1991 though, sorry. Who tours with 2 (!) albums that havenÕt been released yet? Well, GNR did and it was stunning. Also Skid Row opened that show and it was my first time seeing them as well. Magic. Miss the old days sometimes, you never get those package shows anymoreÉ
Anyway! Me and my brother came in without any hassle, and I went all the way in the back of the arena to set up my gear at the ÓbajamajasÓ (portable bathrooms/toilets) but saw a MASSIVE que to even get into oneÉ Panic. The bar-area had been even more expanded since my last show here in early june (Foo Fighters) so the available portable ÓbajamajasÓ was reduced. Also a t-shirt stand had been put right in the path of getting to them. Clever! NOT! After a good wait I finally got into one and started gearing up. Laying out the cables, connecting everything, putting the recorder in REC-mode to see all was working.
But waitÉ. IÕm missing the 3,5mm cable from the tinybox to the recorder!!!
No, no, no, no, no!!!! ThereÕs no way to even use the expensive microphones + batterybox! Panic!!! Maybe I should just NOT record. After smelling the poo/piss inside the ÓbajamajaÓ for a few seconds I decided to record anyway, only using the internal microphones on the SONY M10. Better to have a recording than to not have one at all I thought.
I returned from the chaos in the back and took a nice spot right in front of the right PA, there was A LOT of space available up front, since they only had toilets on the left side, and people tend to drink a lot of beer on sunny days like this, so I was almost by myself. At least I wonÕt get so much shouting/clapping in the recording I thought. Put the recorder in the right pocket on my shirt and waited for the show to start.
As the show ended and I got home I really didnÕt think this would sound any good, at all, for all I know internal mics on a portable recorder canÕt be any good, right? Well it turns out IÕm wrong. Dead wrong. This sound really excellent - despite being ÓjustÓ the internal mics! IÕm really pleased it turned out so good and therefore thought IÕd share this with you. Turns out IÕve been right the whole time - itÕs 80% about where you stand if youÕre gonna get a good recording! Another 10% is experience and the last 10 is quality of the gear itself. I always say: save up some money and get decent gear right away, nobody wants to hear a crappy recording even though you have stood dead silent for 3 hours and IÕm not saying I disagree now - but donÕt give up: practice, practice, practice before you get your hands on the really expensive stuff (Schoeps and those brilliant detailed mics).
You STILL can make a fantastic recording out of it.
Remember: 206 (!!!) minutes of a great show with Guns nÕ Roses, is equal amount of time of total silence for meÉ
ENJOY!

IÕve seen several of my recordings being made into CDÕs and then SOLD. Not that I can do anything about it - but please:
1 - I paid good money for the recording gear (a LOT with the new gear)
2 - I paid for the ticket
3 - I stood silent during the whole show
4 - I took the time and effort to upload it here
5 - PLEASE donÕt be an asshole and take the credit
Other than that: You definitely donÕt wanna miss this!!!
