Okay, I'm not a Guns N' Roses fan, but I just recently picked up for 25 cents at a pawn shop a VHS tape of a Guns N' Roses concert from Santiago, Chile in 1992, due to the tape being a high-quality tape that I would reuse for recording other stuff.
Now then it is an odd sort of video, as there is no label with copyright information, a side from a spine label saying that it is from the "Get In The Ring" Tour and that it was professionally shot---I disagree with this, but more on that later. When I look that tour up on the internet it appears to be their Illusion tour that ran from 1991-1993. Now then I can find no information about this video being recorded for TV broadcast or even home video release.
Now them when I watch the video, it starts off with an interview with what looks like a member of the band, and a news reporter (sorry I don't know what they are saying as they are speaking in Spanish or Portugese, or whatever language Chileans speak), but then it goes to the concert and the concert looks and sounds like it was shot by an amateur. Zooms are very rough, the depth of field looks like something that you would've found on a consumer Video8 or High8 camcorder of the era. It also looks like the camera is being held by hand, as the image is constantly shaking, plus the audio sounds like it was being captured by the onboard camera mic, as everything is muffled. But amidst all this amateurish shooting, there is a bug for a TV station in the right bottom corner. I find it hard that a TV station could've broadcast this amateur-home-video-level movie. But at the same time it raises the question of whether this was an official release, or is this a scarce GNR video?
Also, with my video tape, it appears as if it is a 5th or 6th VHS SP generation copy.
So does anyone know anything about this video?
