Retro Video of the Week: "Yesterdays" by Guns N' Roses

Continuing my cavalcade of concert-related Retro Videos of the Week, tomorrow night I'm going to see Guns N' Roses at Wrigley Field, so this week's Retro Video of the Week is "Yesterdays," off of 1991's Use Your Illusion II.

Though it was released as a single and did reach a meager #72 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1992, I consider "Yesterdays" somewhat of a hidden gem that gets lost amongst the grandeur of the Use Your Illusion I and II albums.  It's a great, passionate rock song about not looking back, which it turned out was a bit foreboding for the band, as they broke up a couple years later and didn't put out any new music between 1994 and 2008.  While it didn't race up the charts in the U.S., it was more successful internationally, reaching the Top 20 on 13 international pop charts, including the Top 10 on eight of those charts.

There were two versions of the video.  The first was just of the band performing in an empty warehouse, while the second, more widely known version features parts of the first video, but then photos of the band members are mixed in.  The version below is the second one.
