Live
Before release of Use Your Illusion I, the song was first played live at Deer Creek Music Center on April 29, 1991. "November Rain" has been a staple at Guns N' Roses concerts ever since it was released in 1991. The song is usually preceded by Rose, sometimes playing "It's Alright" by Black Sabbath or "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" by Elton John on piano. On the Chinese Democracy Tour, each of the guitar solos is played by a different guitarist. Robin Finck (2001) or Richard Fortus (2002–present) plays the first one, Finck (2001–2007) or DJ Ashba (2009–present) plays the second one, and Buckethead (2001–2002) or Bumblefoot (2006–present) plays the final solo.
The band performed the song with Elton John on piano at the 1992 VMAs.
