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 'Seeger Sessions' tour thread, covering the dates 2006-04-30 to 2006-11-21.

Okay, I'm prejudiced since I was at the show. But the guy sitting next to me was at New Orleans. He found that show incredible and quite emotionally moving. At the end of Concord, he said he thought this show was even better. And the sound on this recording is excellent.

I suggested six or seven in the initial thread, and further listening has got my list down to these five.

My 6th choice is Oslo, as suggested by kasja. Somehow that escaped my radar.

Only one American show.....
The Bakerstuff version from a show in NJ is good (don't remember the date and exact location right now)
Seems that this was an Euro tour grin

...to have just one thing, just one thing in your whole life that you do that makes you proud of yourself, I don't think that's too much for anybody to ask...

I'll second this one. Wasn't there or anything, but that recording is phenomenal, and we do need one from the US leg.

Baker recorded 2006-06-25, the night AFTER the monsoon that stole my mobility for 12 weeks.


so, 2006-06-24 has an historical value, can we add it to the list? wink wink
