I finally bought the Quebec boot and it sounds just as good as I had remembered it. The setlist flows so well and Mccready was on fire all night especially during Black. Eds banter between songs was fitting and his voice was on point. You could tell he had a couple of days of rest between shows. Is it just me or does he sound better then he did during the 2013/14 run?
Quebec is way better on paper. A rare "off" night for MC that becomes a little distracting to my ear.
Agreed on both counts, that banner is the $hit.
I got the boot for Quebec city; great set-list on paper, but not the greatest show for them. I would take either Philly boot over Quebec now that I've listened to all three.
Also, after listening a few times over, I think Philly 1 is the better show. Philly 2 is pretty well hyped for obvious reasons, but there were some moments in Philly 1 that push it over the top for me (the biggest moment being the LBC dedication - once Ed sees where the kid is sitting the band really starts to play their asses off. I may be biased having been there to see it in person, but I get chills every time I hear Ed say "Is that him?" and the band just kicks into gear.)
IMO, that was easily the best moment in a concert filled with great moments.

I've started going back through these...and I must say, the New Orleans show is so much damn fun. (wasn't there) but the boot just has a ton of energy, awesome setlist (love the randomness) and the sound quality is great! Might go ahead and spend the double to have this one on CD.
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!
Greenville & Quebec is what I'd tell ya...but looks like u already made the right decision. Quebec is the best non album set of the tour. While I love binaural as much as anyone, VS was spectacular live and the Greenville crowd was awesome!

I bought Greenville. I loved the Vs part of the show; encores really bring it down (it's all relative, still a great show). I would say go either Philly show and u can't lose. But if I had to pick one boot it would b between philly 1 & Quebec (and if you're a binaural person Tor 1 is awesome)
