I must really disagree with you there, The Void! You say: -"I've often heard that Guns N' Roses aren't all that good live". Who has told you that? Fans, and critics around the world clearly states that a GNR show were one of the best acts you could see at that time. I've seen them live three times so I know how energetic and tight they play live.
This show at the Ritz back in 1988 may not be the best show they played, but what makes it a 10 is the fact that this was in the beginning of their "fame & fortune" and before drugs and internal band problems. They all seems to enjoy playing. Then the thing about that Guns N Roses do a cover of Bob Dylans "Knockin On Heavens Door". If you read any review of a GNR concert you would know that that song is played in 99 out of 100 shows and a really good live song for the fans to sing a long to.
But in the end of the day you do say that: this is a damn fine live show from a damn fine band. And that really sums it up.
