Four In-Ear Monitor feeds + original AUD capture = Matrix Audio Recording + HD Multi-Cam Audience Video Recording Sound Quality 10/10 - Double Shot is superior to all other GNR 2016 Las Vegas sources out there, including Sin City Illusion I & II.
The April 9th IEM+AUD Matrix sounds significantly better than the April 8th recording. Axl's In-Ear Monitor is up front in the mix! To my ears, this recording is simply outstanding! If you only download ONE 2016 Guns N' Roses live recording, this should be it!! This may be better than a dry soundboard capture. You decide....
NOTE: The Double Shot cover is shown on screen between virtually every song! There is also a small XAVEL watermark on the lower right side of the screen for the duration of the video. XAVEL must really want people to be well aware of who produced this disc.
The main angle is once again the wide angle full stage shot from the back of venue. This angle reminds of me of those Montreal concert videos from the 80s that were shot by Pierre. The second angle is slot from the lower level section right in front of the stage on Slash's side. This angle looks AWESOME!!
Unfortunately, this angle is only shown for about 20% of the show. The Slash angle was lifted from Youtube.
The April 9th video is superior to the April 8th release. Everything clicked for the band, filmers, and tapers in the audience on Saturday April 9, 2016!
While hanging out with Limulus in Las Vegas on the eve of the Guns N' Roses Double Shot at T-Mobile Arena, I recall mentioning that I had a good feeling XAVEL would be on site capturing IEM feeds of both nights. Upon learning XAVEL did in fact capture IEM feeds of both GNR Sin City reunion shows, I immediately placed my order for 2 of the pressed 4CD/2DVD Las Vegas 2016: Double Shot packages.
I'd like to STRONGLY encourage Guns N' Roses Inc. to release both Las Vegas 2016 gigs in Blu-Ray/DVD/CD/Digital Download format. Releasing the Vegas reunion shows would be easy money. This move would eradicate these pesky bootlegs!
Do yourself a favor and throw out the DVD5 version of the GNR Las Vegas: Double Shot 2016 shows. The HD video quality of the main angle is stunning on this Blu-Ray release!!
I would like to mention that if you've attended both Las Vegas 2016 shows, you have seen about 95% of the entire 2016 GN'R tour, up to this point. The nearly identical 2016 setlists have been a tremendous disappointment to hardcore Guns N' Roses fans.
It is great that Axl is moving again. Watching Axl sing while trapped in a chair, during two of the biggest performances of his entire lifetime was bizarre, but also historic in its own right.
If you enjoy Double Shot, please show your appreciation by donating to your favorite children's charity! Thank you!!
