I have listened to this bootleg last week...what an awesome show ... regarding the 'instant classic' thing, my guess is that the concept has been drop.
I think the "classic" label was used more as a catch phrase, not meant to be quite as literal as we might assume or wish for. They released that under that new moniker to make some quick charity income immediately after the show. They thought that calling it an instant classic would help sales. They were almost certainly right. That said, having been at that show, I think the in-person vibe of the show got it a lot closer to feeling like a "classic" than one would assume by just looking at the setlist or listening to the boot.... for some, anyway. I remember talking to someone immediately after the show who was halfway to despondent because he thought the setlist would be more interesting. Kind of a glass half empty kind of fella I guess.
