For all those spiritually inclined people around here... why not make it

THE 108 DIVINE SHOWS

I like the idea that we keep discussing more bootlegs here in these threads,
as there are surely a lot of people who like to be inspired
not only to listen to the Top boots everybody agrees on,
but also to some gems that have only a few moments that really stand out
Hi folks I am from Italy and new to the forum.
I read about all the posts on this topic and basically I agree with most of the titles listed but I have a quick question for you all, why none of you listed any godfather records cd, I got all of them and I must say that most of them are simply great. I appreciate the crystal cat ones but I also think that the godfather records are at least at the same level, don't you agree with this?

Most Godfather releases are just remasters of already circulating tapes, and rather heavy-handed remasters at that. CDs like Home of the 76ers and the Bottom Line 75 are good examples. If you have any particular favourites please nominate them!
I would like to add to consideration the 1999/08/27 show which closed the Boston stand- Great performance, good set list, a representative show for the tour though the circulating recording may not be at the next level

Setlist: Candy's Room/The Ties That Bind/Adam Raised a Cain/Prove It All Night/Two Hearts/Rendezvous/Darlington County/Mansion on the Hill/Point Blank/Youngstown/Murder Inc./Badlands/Out in the Street/Tenth Avenue Freeze-out/Working on the Highway/Spirit in the Night/The Ghost of Tom Joad/New York City Serenade/Light of Day
First Encore: Jungleland/Born to Run
Second Encore: Thunder Road/If I Should Fall Behind/Raise Your Hand (w/ Peter Wolf)/Bobby Jean/Land of Hope and Dreams
I propose a new section to the must-have, for the silly among us:

SHOWS WITH HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE

They may not be great performances, may not have great sound quality, but are interesting to the avid collectors among us. Such as:

Earliest/Last known recorded performance of .... Castilles, BSB, Dr. Zoom, etc

First/last performance of band members: Danny's final show comes to mind, but there are many others (Vini, Steve, Max and Roy, Nils)

Lotsa possible categories and shows of historical importance to the Bruce fan.

Just a thought....
Again the same question: What has happened to the project?

What's the status? Chicken Scratch, Born to Run, Greetings / WIESS, Darkness polls are finished:

What's next? Will any admin set up the next poll(s)? Will the above chosen be uploaded lossless?

I followed that project for the whole time but unfortunately couldn't contribute much. But I would really like to see that one going to the end! Let's go on!
