Hi everyone. I'm trying to keep my bootleg collection to a bare minimum and I need some help choosing between the seemingly millions of different choices out there.

I'd like to limit my collection to three or four shows each tour (because who really needs more than that?).

For pre-1975 I have:
1/19/1974 You Mean So Much To Me
5/9/1974 Rock and Roll Punk
6/3/1974 And the E Street Band Played (One of my very first boots!)
9/3/1974 The Lost Radio Show
and Live at the Matrix Vol 1 & 2



For BTR I have:
2/5/1975 (I'm not sure which version)
8/15/1978 (The Way It Was)
8/23/1978 (It's going to work out fine)
and the new Philly '75 that was uploaded to ABMS some time ago



For Darkness I have:
9/19/1978 Piece de Resistance (Is this the best version available?)
12/15/1978 Prodigal Son At Winterland
7/7/1978 No Private Party
12/31/1978 The Firecracker Show


For the River I have:

8/20/1981 Vietnam Vets Show
11/27/1980 Look Over the River
12/31/1980 Nassau Night
1/26/1981 (I'm not sure what version, or even if there are multiple versions)

For BIUSA:
7-12-1984 Alpine Valley Night
6-1-1985
9-30-1985

Tunnel of Love:
5/3/1988 Roses & Broken Hearts
7/3/1988 (Summer Night Part 1 and 2)
7/22/1988


I don't have anything from the fake band or from GotJ. What shows should I get from The Reunion, The Rising, Devils & Dust, Seeger Sessions, and Magic? (Mostly I have too many of each of those tours and want to narrow it down.)

No disrepect but surely half the fun is the chase rather than the catch, downlaod a few shows trade with some folks sure you'll get some coasters but you'll meet some great folks. With reagrds to sounds that's your call not somebody else's if you like it than it's good if somebody else does then it doesn't mean you will. I hope I haven't offended you but you can't life by numbers
Sorry but he lost me with the part about not needing that many shows grin

If being 'minimalist' floats your boat then collect the Spl series or the great compilations by the likes of Flynn. That's all you'll need. Other than that USE YOU EARS and keep what you like, not the masses.

btw get Brixton Night.

Someday's you're the statue, someday's the pigeon.

Just a few of the essentials...that's the way I started out
