If you could buy only 1 2016 bootleg....

I'm looking to buy one 2016 bootleg. I'm torn between a full album show or a more traditional show. Any consensus on a couple of the best sounding/best flowing shows? Thanks for any opinions!
East Troy 2000, St. Paul 2003, East Troy 2003, St. Paul 2006 (2 nights), East Troy 2011 (2 nights), Milwaukee 2014

    I wasn't there, but I would personally go with the full album Binaural show. So many great songs that never get played. I was at Greenville which was epic, but something about the rarity of binaural would make it my pic.

    Tampa is solid, Red mosquito, Hard To Imagine and Little Wing sound awesome, but I think Quebec City would be great too

    I'm biased since I was at Philly 2..... That's a great one.

    I do plan to use my last free code for Quebec though, that setlist is sick.

    Easy answer: if it happens buy one box set of the tour.

    I would just check the setlist of each show and whatever looks the best to you I would go with that. They brought it every night this tour and I really think what ever setlist is geared toward your tastes you can not go wrong. That or just go with Quebec that show rocked!

    I would do TO1 without hesitation but I'm biased as Binaural is my favorite album and it was my birthday show.
    For a non-album show Quebec takes it IMO, truly a great show from start to finish. The best one if you don't count the album shows.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Toronto 1. The rock gods were smiling on me when I made the snap decision to fly up there to attend those two shows. Quite honestly, I'm still not convinced that I didn't like Toronto 2 better but the T1 setlist is just so special.

    I went with Quebec. Probably will still grab the Binaural show too.

    Quebec or Toronto 1 for me as well

    So far, I would have to say Columbia...wasnt there...but a great boot! New Orleans is a close second or at least a runner up.

    I love the Jacksonville boot, it's my favorite personally and not because I was there.

    I would have fallen asleep during the Binaural show to be honest, but that's my opinion of course... so I will say Greenville cause of VS and then Lexington because that was the show I was at followed by Tampa because of Red Mosquito

    I was at Columbia, Greenville and Jazz Fest. I thought from a being there viewpoint that Columbia was far superior but from a bootleg point of view it is hard to beat Greenville.

    That being said, Philly 2 has been getting a lot of listens from me... You can feel the crowd exploding with joy in a way no other bootleg conveys. Not the tightest performance but something really special.

    Buy them all...

    To me, the philly run was the best of the tour. Those 2 nights are incredible.
