I did not attend or tape this show so this will be relatively short and sweet. I acquired this tape almost 20 years ago at a record show at Serb Hall in Milwaukee, WI. I bought it directly from the taper and paid about $15 US. We had just moved to Milwaukee and I kept seeing all these billboards that said "Alpine Valley is Paradise City" or words to that effect. I had no idea where Alpine Valley was and even though I'd been taping my own shows for a while, I had no strong urge to see these guys as I thought that Axl was pretty much of an asshole. Thank God for tapers ! The show sounds pretty good so I thought that I'd up it for the enjoyment of all the Dime GNR fanatics. I'm not sure if this has been on Dime (I've been here for 7 years BION) but it hasn't been here for at least 3 years so here goes. No hiss/speed problem/ distortion. A little audience chatter but nothing to make you go postal. There's not a lot of bass response in this recording. There is a hilarious bit of "taperspeak" or one of his friends on one of the tracks. Something about sliding down the hill on yer ass... IIRC, this was taped from the lower lawn really close to a bank of hanging monitors and it sounds very loud and clear. I edited out some screaming, lengthy bits of applause, the Scarface intro and a weird cartoonish outro, both of which would've violated Dime rules and didn't make any sense anyway unless you were there. All music and stage banter obviously was left intact. All Axlspeak is present in its obnoxious glory ; what an ego !!!!! Well, that's all that I have to discuss so let's get this show on the golden road to spiritual enlightenment......
No buy, no sell, no mp3. Please seed this as long as you can. I will post a sample to help people decide if they want this but trust me, it's a fine-quality show. Listen to this on headphones for an enjoyable experience! Well, thanks for reading this and Mr. Natural would like to add these few comments: have fun, don't slide down the hill on your ass and by all means, enjoy the concert!!!
