It's been well-documented what rough shape Robben Crosby was in at this time. And this show was merely weeks before Nirvana's album came out.
Ratt were definitely no longer glamming it up. DeMartini in jeans, no shirt, and puffing cigarettes was very Slash-like.
They played the first part of the show as a 4 piece, when Schenker appears during the solo to Round and Round (49:15). Schenker takes the outro solo, which is excellent, though somewhat hard to hear.
Schenker and DeMartini cut heads on Way Cool Jr. (1:02:25), which is after get this - a piano solo. Ratt were seemingly attempting to diversity their sound.
Because of the close proximity of the one filming, the sound is sub-par. But these are perhaps the best close-up shots of Warren DeMartini, who was on fire this night.
I don't recall if Schenker was only subbing for Crosby or if the intention was to soldier on with him as a new member, before grunge crashed the party.
But this iteration of Ratt would've been formidable, with lots of guitar talent.
