| Editorial Reviews:
From Amazon.com
Guns N' Roses' career could be neatly summed up in a lyric from their song "Pretty Tied Up": "I just found a million dollars that someone else forgot." Indeed, GNR satisfied a grassroots hunger for bigger-than-life hard rock at a time when legions of alternative bands were enjoying their first burst of overweening critical attention and commercial cachet. The last and most spectacularly successful band to prosper from Hollywood's burgeoning 1980s Sunset Strip glam-metal scene wrapped a couple decade's worth of sometimes tired clichs around a tight, assaultive musical attack that enticed millions yearning for poor role models. And if their edgy songs often blurred fantasy and reality, the best of them had a street-level honesty that couldn't be denied. A de facto greatest-hits collection culled from performances recorded around the world, Live Era best documents the early, ferocious performing prime of GN'R's original quintet on its first disc, leaning heavily on their landmark Appetite for Destruction album to great effect. But the second volume often chronicles the band's steady decline into bloated self-parody and neo-Vegas "professionalism."--Jerry McCulley

 Better than the Greatest Hits but not awesome... Here's why: February 3, 2008
It shows them at their BEST on songs like Out ta Get Me and Welcome to the Jungle and My Michelle is just awesome, but it also shows them at their most over the top bloated self-parodying selves on songs such as November Rain(a classic, no doubt, but GN'R were meant so save ROCK, not Elton John for christ's sake) and the totally ruined funk-fest of Move to the City, what the hell had they done to a song that used to rock in the early days and was now full of overblown horn solo's. Axl took the blame at the time, his crazy ego and all that, but Slash has since admitted it was his idea, not that this makes it okay though, it still sucks.
There's also the heavily supported rumours that Axl re-recorded many of his vocal parts for this LP because he is such a perfectionist, so it ain't really 'live' I guess. You can tell this is true on My Michelle, he's hitting high notes he could NEVER hit in the old live shows and his voice isn't raspy it's more high-pitched and whiney, which happened to him around 1997. Although it's still cool.
Having said all this, it still kicks the ASS off anything 'live' ever released by any other rock band has ever, fact.
 One of the better live albums out there December 14, 2007
Personally, I rank "Live Era" up there with the likes of "Live at Leeds" and "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out!" and all the other classic, landmark live albums. This double-LP shows Guns N' Roses at their absolute peak, the scorching 8-minute version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" being quite possibly my favourite ever live track.
If you're a fan of real, honest rock music, or simply a casual Gunners listener, this is essential.
5/5
Like Being There Yourself! December 1, 2006
This album is brilliant, you can feel all the passion and energy of the band and from the fans.
Seen Guns N Roses a few times and this live collection captures everything perfectly especially Axl's voice and Slash's guitar riffs.
All the favourites are here too although if you're willing to wait a few weeks for delivery, get the Japanese import version as that has "Coma" as a bonus track which is right up there as one of their best songs.
Bottom line? The best Guns N Roses/Live album ever!
The real Guns N' Roses experience May 24, 2006
This is how G'n'R were meant to be heard, they famous for their attitude and this really comes across in their live performances. I would have loved to have seen them live, but as I was too young this is as close as I'll get to their real line up live, and it really does convey the expected message, two fingers in the air with a bottle of whisky in the other hand - screaming the catchy lyrics at the top of your voice and jumping around to the superb music. If you like any Guns N' Roses, you'll definitely not regret buying this!
Best live album ever! October 6, 2005
Absolutly stunning stuff. Say what you want about Gins N' Roses, this is fantastic stuff make no mistake. All the energy and furisity is captured perfectly on this double disc, live masterpiece. For those who love Appetite For Destruction you'll especially love this as it has all but 2 songs from AOD on this not to mention bag-loads of other various material. Most of the tracks sound better than their recorded version. Welcome To The Jungle, Mr. Brownstone and Nightrain sound like their meant to, furiously thumping away with maximum power to blow your eardrums out and offend your grandma while Patience and November Rain gentle swirl along with such loving tenderness. Estranged is here in all it's epic glory as Don;t Cry combines both the energy and tenderness which made Guns N' Roses the biggest rock band of the late 80's- mid 90's and is probably the best track on the album. Paradise City finishes things off with a raging climax. If you still don't like GNR after hearing this then you need mental help.
