We've talked about it in the past. Now let's do it.

Let's name the Top 5 bootlegs for each tour, with as many as 5 more suggestions. The sound has to be pretty damn good for a boot to make the list, but sound quality is not the sole criteria. We'll weigh in the performance (i.e., the energy level, the setting, the setlist, etc.) because that matters, too. Otherwise we'd all be listening to the Atlanta Rising boot, which won't even make the list.

I'll keep a running list here at the top of what the consensus seems to be for each tour. It will change, of course.
Anybody who wants other ideas can probably dig through this thread someday for suggestions that fell short. There are going to be a lot of excellent boots that don't make the list.
So let's get started.

Has anyone heard the Portland IEM yet? Someone posted an MP3 of Frankie on BTX and what I heard sounded pretty good.

I would like to add the August 7 show from Milwaukee. Audience source. Possibly my favorite show of the tour with Frankie and BIYA.

I concur. Wonderful setlist and performance.

Might be worth keeping this particular list open for a few weeks yet

Just downloaded the Portland IEM, pretty good so far, a couple of blips in Soul Driver. Probably ripe for a aud/ iem remix- hint hint

listened to some of it as well, Valentines day ahs issues as well but hey who's complaining

Portland is OK, but not in my Top 15 shows.

I just downloaded the Seattle IEM. I have only listened to half of it but I think it sounds better than Portland. Really has a good vocal sound.

The new Portland IEM/AUD mix sounds good to my ears, how does it compare to other IEM/AUD mixes from this tour?

Has an IEM/Aud mix been made of the Seattle show?

I would like to throw in Dusseldorf. Wonderful setlist and possibly one of the best I Wish I was Blind I've ever heard.

16/06/05 - Phillipshalle, Dusseldorf, Germany
