SPL's Must-have Bootleg List - Live Compilations | Stone Pony London

PeteJukebox Graduate

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.

This is the 'Live Compilations' thread.

I don't remember how the sound compares, but there is an EV2 edit of 75-85 Outtakes.

I think it was lossy in the end. And back then Everyone only had a lossy version of that original 85-75 Outtakes. Hope thing's have changed..

The Tunnel of Love Acoustic (Devils and Dust Tour) is brilliant too, the name passes me by right now.
