This unofficial LP captures Guns N’ Roses’ explosive February 2, 1988 performance at The Ritz, New York, originally recorded for radio broadcast and later widely circulated as a fan‑favourite bootleg. The show is considered one of the band’s most iconic early performances, showcasing their raw, pre‑stadium ferocity during the Appetite for Destruction era.
 
This pressing is a 180g vinyl edition, sourced from the radio broadcast audio, featuring a tight, high‑energy setlist including “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Nightrain,” “Paradise City,” and their cover of “Mama Kin.”
