Re: Unseen footage Pro Shot - Saskatoon, SK, Ca 1993
Probably different over here.
93 was a big deal in Australia cos the show finally rolled into town.
There was a lot of hysteria on the news about if we'd see riots and so on and the types of people who might go to such things!

Pretty good Opinion piece on the leaving out of OIAM. I gotta say, if anyone thinks they're 'doing wrong' or 'burying history' over this, thats just a weak POV. We all change, and have regrets. The present is the time to do what we can't change from the past.

yes, that's why generally nobody cared much about 93 (including myself). but this particular show looks nice!
Who didn’t care about 1993? That was peak GNR in many ways

Other than TSI which didn't set the world on fire, they were out of sight out of mind.
My GNR highlights of 93 are TSI and Believe in Me. I didn't find out about the show in my area until after it was over.

i am about to watch the everloving fuck out of this!
a proshot of them doing acoustic songs on the couch? never thought we'd see that.
hopefully uncle axl takes a look at the fan reaction between the locked and loaded boxset and this and smartens up a bit.

They pretty much flew under the radar in 93. Grunge was in full swing, other musical stuff going on, and the big dogs like GNR, Metallica, etc. weren't getting a lot of mainstream press, at least not on this side of the pond.
Maybe in the US they weren’t. But in 1993 GNR played the largest outdoor concerts ever staged in Australia in two of our biggest cities. Metallica sold out multiple nights on their tour here in 93 too.
Even by the years end hype was pretty huge in the lead up to the release of TSI as well.

I wish I had lived in a region that gave a shit about TSI's release.

Both did shows here too. Not sure if they sold out but they probably did. My point is that they simply weren't getting coverage for it here. Both those bands were massive in 91. Same in 92. The drop off in 93 was huge even with the touring chugging forward.
