Line-up:
Axl Rose (vocals), Izzy Stradlin (rhythm guitarist), Slash (lead guitarist), Duff McKagan (bass) and Steven Adler (drums).

Notes:
In the quote below Slash claims that the video for "It's So Easy" was recorded on this gig, but most, if not all, of that footage probably came from the day before where they also played The Cathouse and only played "It's So Easy".

Mike Monroe came on and sang on an Hearbreak Hotel.

Quotes:

The day before the Stones gig we did a warm-up show at the Cathouse and it was killer. It was the first time we'd played in a while, and we had so much energy to get out; we sounded amazing and it was a classic Guns show. It wasn't without its unpleasantness, though, because Axl insulted David Bowie so much from the stage that Bowie left in the middle of the set [...] That evening was captured for posterity in the video for "It's So Easy," which was never accepted by MTV or aired in the States because we refused to edit out the profanity in the song [Slash's autobiograohy, p 277]
