If you ever want to know what a GN'R gig was like before the band and their respective egos became huge and out of control, you need to grab this bootleg.
It was recorded in 1987 in London at the famous Marquee club and it captures the raw energy of the band when they were still five misfits living a reckless life and chasing success. This was recorded in the audience but the sound is excellent, a conservative grade would be A- but I'd rate this one A. This is the true essence of GN'R, unpredictable and dangerous. No 10 minutes pause between songs, no endless solos, no lengthy rants by Axl Rose (although I must say I got used to it and I'm almost disappointed when Axl doesn't take 20 minutes of the show to spit venom at someone): just 16 awesome songs played back to back, no bullshit and pure rock n' roll.
This show and the other Marquee show remastered by Alan Niven are the best testimony of why GN'R was the best hard rock band of the decade and why Appetite for Destruction will forever remain a true classic that hasn't been topped since.
