Notes #1: alt. version of this remaster (with some length changes, but with the same audio) was used by Fransad for his video remaster. It's the longest project of mine and the most significant upgrade over older sources I had so far. This remaster has some background shit which was impossible to remove completely without significant quality loss so I removed what I could and kept the rest. Intro is partially sourced from DirecTV because there was a speaking woman on the background. Same concerns a few seconds in the before and at the end of PC and the last Axl Rant. Bitstorm Omega was kind enough to help with the cover for this bootleg. BIG thank you to him!
Notes #2: GN'R rocks Rio once again, hitting the stage at 1:40 a.m. in the wee hours of Jan. 15th. The show is preceded by an animation intro, the same as the Las Vegas, NV [01.01.01] animation intro. During 'It's So Easy,' Axl has a fan kicked out who apparently had been wearing a GN'R=Slash t-shirt and had been taunting Axl. After 'Mr. Brownstone,' Axl speaks through a translator to say that many of the fans are disappointed that past band members are not currently in the band. He says the ex-band members did everything they could so that Axl couldn't be there today, to which Axl says "Fuck that!" He tells the crowd that he is hurt and that unlike Oasis, Axl and his former members couldn't find a way to get along. He then introduces the band and gives a special speech about Paul Tobias, saying that without Paul, there would be no more Guns N' Roses. After 'Think About You,' Axl introduces Brain to lead into 'You Could Be Mine.' After 'You Could Be Mine,' Axl introduces Robin so Robin can speak some Portugese to the audience and play a guitar solo. Before 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door,' Axl mentions that this is a new band and it was time to do a version of the song that was more closer to the original. Unlike the Vegas show, the ending of 'Knockin On Heaven's Door' is extended so the crowd can participate. Axl dedicates 'Madagascar,' a song on which he played guitar, to the love that the Brazilian fans have shown the band. After 'Madagascar,' Axl introduces Buckethead so he can play an instrumental for the crowd, in which he jams on his song 'Big Sur Moon' from his Colma album. Axl introduces Paul during 'Rocket Queen' to play the solo. After 'Rocket Queen,' Axl says that they have only done 1 show before this and that they have already been criticized for doing the "old songs." He goes on to say that one of the reasons they play the old songs is for everyone to see that "This new band can play the fuck out of these songs." He then introduces the band, starting with Buckethead. After 'Chinese Democracy,' Buckethead plays a country-western style jam, which leads into a short instrumental jam. Axl introduces 'Patience' by saying "You might know this song!" After 'Patience,' Axl tells the crowd he used to surf the internet, but to him it seems to be a big garbage can. So he doesn't read the garbage that is written anymore, and he goes on to mention a few names of Argentinian fans that post stuff!! Before 'Silkworms,' Axl tells the crowd that it was written by Dizzy Reed & Chris Pittman. Prior to 'Paradise City,' a Brazilian "Samba School" [Escola de Samba] comes on stage to play for a few minutes. After 'Paradise City,' Axl tells the crowd he has been taken care of by a Brazilian family, specifically Beta, his assistant, and her 3 children. He says that she has been a mother & manager to him, and that she has helped everyone in the band. Beta also was the translator for the night. Axl then tells the crowd the band will "Be back next summer with a whole bunch of new songs!" The band soundchecked on the 14th between 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
