  In April 1990, Guns N’ Roses performed at Farm Aid, marking a significant moment in the band's history as it was Steven Adler's final concert with the group. At this time, the band had just released their critically acclaimed album "Use Your Illusion I" and were gearing up for the simultaneous release of "Use Your Illusion II" later that year. The live performance featured "Civil War," a track that reflects the band's socio-political commentary, and "Down on the Farm," highlighting their gritty sound. Though they were riding high on commercial success, internal tensions within the band were increasing, leading to Adler's departure shortly after this concert. This performance captured the band during a tumultuous phase, embodying both their explosive energy and the impending challenges they faced.
