Live Era: ’87-’93 is a double live album by hard rock band Guns N’ Roses, released on November 23, 1999. The album was the first official Guns N’ Roses release since “The Spaghetti Incident?” in 1993. Former guitarist Slash notes that the album is “not pretty and there are a lot of mistakes, but this is Guns N’ Roses, not the ~censored~ Mahavishnu Orchestra. It’s as honest as it gets.”

The dates and locations of the tracks are not revealed in the liner notes, and are only referred to simply as being “Recorded across the universe between 1987 and 1993″. However, the majority of the tracks on the two CDs are believed to be sourced from the extensive Use Your Illusion Tour of 1991-1993.

Axl Rose is alleged to have communicated with former Guns N’ Roses members Slash and Duff McKagan, through intermediaries only, in selecting the track list. In an interview Slash stated that “the live album was one of the easiest projects we all worked on. I didn’t actually see Axl, but we communicated via the powers that be.”

Matt Sorum, the band’s drummer from 1990-1997, is not credited as a band member in the liner notes, but as an “additional musician”. It is suspected that Sorum is not credited as a “main band member” due to his sour departure from Axl Rose and the band. Original drummer Steven Adler, who plays sporadically on the album, is credited as a “main band member”, instead.

Two popular live songs “Live and Let Die” and “Civil War” which were both played heavily during the Use Your Illusion Tour are omitted from this release, while songs that were played to a much lesser extent on the tour (“Pretty Tied Up” and “Move to the City”) are included.

The Japanese and vinyl versions of the album contain a rare performance of “Coma”, Guns N’ Roses’ longest song to date.
