I read that post from TD but I think we should stick to the basic. 5 shows each tour.
So for the great Darkness tour I think 5 is enough. The big 4 (Roxy, Agora, Passaic and Winterland) and my personal favorite to add is the final Palladium show for the setlist. Although the final Passaic setlist is even better it has not the same soundquality.
For the River tour you got the 3 soundboards from the 3 December shows ofcourse. Add the Vets show. But you can discuse if you need all 3 Nassau shows. And personaly I think the River shows arent that different when you look at the setlists. Add the mostly poor tapes. So do we still need more then 5 shows??
