Guns N’ Roses

On May 16, 1991, Guns N' Roses performed live at The Ritz in New York, showcasing their dynamic live energy during the Use Your Illusion Tour. This tour followed the release of their highly anticipated albums, "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II," both launched on September 17, 1991, just a few months later. This concert represented a pivotal moment, as it was a prelude to the band's enormous commercial success and mainstream recognition throughout the early '90s. During this live performance, the band delivered powerful renditions of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"—a tribute to Jimi Hendrix—and "Civil War," which provided a commentary on societal issues, reflecting the band's willingness to address deep themes through their music. The Ritz performance exemplified Guns N' Roses' reputation for electrifying live shows that captivated audiences, setting the stage for their forthcoming achievements.
